Ovens are central to the kitchen, but without proper upkeep, they can become a fire hazard. Thousands of household fires every year are traced back to ovens, many of which could have been prevented with simple maintenance.

Causes of oven-related fire hazards include:

– Grease and food buildup igniting when reheated.
– Faulty heating elements that spark or overheat.
– Damaged wiring that shorts out.
– Cracked or worn door seals that allow excessive heat to escape.
– Overuse of the self-clean function, which can overheat components.

How to prevent oven fires:

– Clean spills and grease regularly.
– Inspect wiring and elements annually.
– Replace door gaskets when worn.
– Avoid leaving the oven unattended when in use.
– Use cookware designed for high temperatures.
