Product: Electrolux EI30GF45QSH (Electrolux gas stove- silver color). Incident: I preheated the oven to bake dinner, I closed it well and when I was going to put the dinner to cook, I opened the door and everything exploded in front of my face, my little 9-month-old daughter was crawling behind me and I couldn't see her because I only saw the flames through my glasses I was very scared but I managed to push my baby away from the flames then only my hair and one of my eyebrows burned, I managed to turn off the unit but it was still on and I couldn't turn it off, when finally the fire went out a very strong smell of gas came out, My husband checked the stove and in the oven there was a very big leak my husband closed the gas valve and we called our gas supplier, they arrived and confirmed that there was a leak coming from the oven of the stove, we had to be outside our house while the smell of gas disappeared, it was very terrifying to live this, at one point we thought that the house would explode since everything smelled of very strong gas.
