Re: Here’s To The Crazy Ones

My OH works with elderly disabled. One women has accumilated £20.000 plus in savings, she is too disabled to be responsible for the money. They are trying to spend it because she will loose the right to benifits, but because she is so disabled spending is problematic as everything she needs is either free or greatly discounted. Even the car she cant drive, does not need, they bought new from motobility was cheap and so are the running costs. The lady is extremely disabled and whilst deserves a great deal of support & care it seems crazy they recieve money fastet than they can waste.

Re: Here’s To The Crazy Ones

To keep it on topic, for a change, apparently an oven caused this…

Now, I would dearly love to know how that a lower panel got into that mess from a 1300W element with no visible damage to the interior of the oven as claimed. Given the kitchen cabinet looks like it’s been attacked with a flamethrower.

For that level of damage to be caused by the oven it’d have to have been nigh on incinerated internally. I can’t even fathom how, if this is the oven’s fault as alleged, that the house didn’t trip out as the wiring was toasted.

And, why is it that the bottom panel looks almost untouched in the middle, where the mass of the heat damage occurs?

It’s not appliance engineers we need, it’s Mulder and Scully!

That damage would be caused by the oven but due to incorrect use.

It happens where the customer uses the oven as conventional and leaves a oven tray on the base of the oven thus the heat doesn’t transfer through to the cavity but is reflected down and the element stays on all the time trying to get the oven up to temperature.

Re: Here’s To The Crazy Ones

This oven could be the type where it should be suspended only on metal side brackets and NOT placed directly onto a kitchen unit carcass? I don’t have access to Amica installation instructions in order to check though. 🙁

Looks to me as a flamable substance has got between oven carcass and the shelf.

Re: Here’s To The Crazy Ones

I’m no oven expert, but since the carcase is combustible, could there be a potential for the carcase to catch fire if the oven’s cooling fan or cooling thermostat failed?

No element is designed to destroy itself if stat and safety devices failed.

Not as a rule, the conducted heat just scorches the surface covering and the MDF only. I’ve seen ovens that have completely scorched a large hole right through without any probs. The old Neff’s and De Dietrichs back in the late 70’s early 80’s were a problem in that regard. They subsequently improved insulation and space between oven and cabinet frame to leave a prudent air gap. Hence why I suspect this Amica has not been installed as per instructions?
