Re: MFI DIPLOMAT OVEN
Interesting, yes – in that it implies it’s perfectly acceptable (in the UK maybe) for a new oven to explode & spill hot glass all over the kitchen floor provided someone leaves a tea towel on the door handle. I had a Meile oven for 19 years and this never happened once.
Problems like this don’t happen anywhere else in the western world. Might i suggest that if the aforementioned issues really are a serious problem, the glass should be rated for 500 degrees and not 251.
Re: MFI DIPLOMAT OVEN
My diplomat inner glass oven door also just shattered! Interesting to see when I googled “oven glass shattered” this thread popped straight up so I thought i’d sign up to add my story. The oven is only 10 months old and has been used about once a week since new.
No tea towels, nothing ever rested or placed on the door, nothing touching it at the time – I just switched the oven on to warm up for a roast (probably about 230 degrees) and 10 minutes later, while the roast was still in the microwave, there was a sudden “Bang!” with a pile of hot glass spewed out in front of the oven from under the door. At first I thought it was the microwave – i’ve never seen this from an oven before. Good thing I wasn’t in the kitchen at the time!
I am assuming this is covered under warranty so i’m not too worried just yet, .. will keep you posted as to how the manufacturer responds to the situation.
I can’t understand why the glass seems to be held in place by non-insulated metal clips – seems to me this is just asking for trouble? I never let metal touch glass in the moderate heat of a dishwasher let alone an oven.
