Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20141223-03982-2147437561. Matched catalog product: Kenmore 790.92303010. Incident: Kenmore Electric Range started on fire. In previous weeks, the unit would have a slight plastic/electric burning smell during pre-heat. During a pre-heat cycle last night, the unit displayed smoke coming out of the rear of the control panel area. I immediately pulled the oven out and disconnected power to the unit (I was unable to get to the circuit breaker in time).
