SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20130908-E446D-2147452212. Matched catalog product: Hamilton Beach Griddle Model# 38518R, Power Adapter Model# ZL203. Source model text: 22708H. Incident: The unit has two functions: toaster over and toaster. To operate the toaster or oven, you have to slide the level to the appropriate setting. While the oven level with the dial on the �off� setting, the oven light comes on. The �oven� portion was used this morning, and the dial turned to the �off� position after use. Unfortunately, the oven remained in operation although it should have been off. The toaster oven almost set my house on fire.
