Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20210428-31430-2147364447. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Frigidaire FPGH3077RFF (Frigidaire 30" professional stainless steel gas range and oven. Model FPGH3077RFF). Incident: We have kitchenaid professional series gas stove/oven. This past Sunday, my husband preheated the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. After a few minutes, there was smoke coming out. We assumed there must have been a spill when the oven was last used, and it would burn off. After about 15 minutes, the smoke was becoming overwhelming even with a commercial vent hood above the stove. We could conclude that the interior of the oven was completely full of smoke to the point of zero visibility through the window. Eventually, my husband opened the built in storage drawer underneath and found that there were contents actively engulfed in flames. After putting out the fire with the extending hose from the kitchen sink and removing the drawer to the back yard, the contents were dumped in a bucket full of water. The fire department determined that a pizza peel under the stove in the drawer had ignited due to oven malfunction. The fire department cited the oven as the source of the fire.
