Description
This recall involves Thermador® Brand built-in single ovens and combination models which have a conventional oven and a microwave.

The ovens have date codes between FD8403 and FD8701. The model number and date code can be found on the underside of the control panel.

Remedy
Consumers should stop using the oven's self-cleaning mode and contact BSH Home Appliances immediately to schedule an inspection and free repair, if necessary.
