Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20141231-DA807-2147437133. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Sharp The model is SMC2265KS.. Source model text: R-1875-T. Incident: Replaced a 24 year old Sharp Carousel II convection over the range oven when it stopped working with a Sharp R-1875-T Over the Range Convection Microwave Oven serial number 526367. The unit was delivered on 12/13/2014 and installed on 12/16/2014. Today, 12/31/2014 my wife was microwaving vegetables when the unit began to smoke. She had been using the unit for approximately 20 minutes for 4 batches of vegetables and had just started her 5th which was a batch of carrots. All cooking was in [REDACTED] dishes. She unplugged the unit and yelled for me. I pulled the grease filters to see if I could see anything in the unit and saw flames in the right rear area behind the control panel. I used a small Halon fire extinguisher to put out the flames while my wife called the fire department. The firemen helped me dismount the unit and place it outside in the yard.
