Incident: I purchased my Samsung glass-top, built in stove from Best Buy in 2016. Since that time, there have been at least 2 incidences where an item on the cook top has burned by accident. The cause seems to be if someone leans against the front of the stove, the knobs that control the stove-top are on the front and with the least pressure and movement they will turn on the surface without anyone being aware of it. We have burned a towel, a pot, and a silicone hot pad. No one has been injured, there was no need for the fire department, but there was enough smoke to set off the fire alarms--that is how we discovered the problem. The only damage has been to my new white kitchen cabinets that were installed about the same time as the stove. There is silicone residue from the ash on all the raised surfaces of the cabinet
