Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190621-DBBC4-1882212. Severity: No Incident, No Injury. Product: Cuisinart TOB-60N1 (Cuisinart TOB-60N1 Toaster Oven Broiler with Convection, Stainless Steel outer shell). Incident: Submitter believes this product is a fire hazard. My concern is about Cuisinart modle #T0B-60N1 Serial #4??? This toaster oven has 3 control knobs The top knob is temperature control warm, bake (tempature) Broil/toast. The center knob is the function; toast, pizza/bake, convection bake, convection broil, broil, warm The lower knob is the on/off/timmer 3 times I turned on the oven, with the top knob in the Bake Mode at 350 the center knob was set at Convection Bake the Lower knob was set at on. the oven turned on the Broil and Bake elements fully red hot; it was not in a timmed mode. the elements are on full. Instead of the bake element being at 350 If I had not noticed that it was not on bake but toast. So the oven will get as hot as it can ,on full blast, until you shut it off. Even in good conditions it could cause a fire if left on to long. I believe that center control switch is defective. Caller is returning the product to Target under a 90 day warranty.
