Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20200427-147BD-2147372678. Matched catalog product: Frigidaire EFMIS175-BLACK. Incident: I have a Frigidaire electric smooth top range. The control knobs are mounted at approx. a 45-degree angle on the leading edge of the range and equally spaced over the oven door. They are easy to accidentally activate if leaning over the range to reach something in the cabinets above. This has happened numerous times. Today a friend was visiting and leaned back against the range and turned the knob to high without being aware of the occurrence. It melted the microwave cover lid that was sitting on top. This is a definite fire hazard.
