Stewie Re: Technika Oven Exploded 50Jun 22, 2014 9:13 am oze Several nights ago our Technika Bellissimo oven was cooling down after baking a cake. 5 mins after taking the cake out I left the kitchen and then BOOM. The bloody oven door exploded filling the kitchen and pantry with glass. Luckily no one was in front of it. Technika are replacing the oven door but I'm definitely nervous about it happening again. Since searching Google this is very common and happens with many many brands. First time I've ever heard of it. Be careful!!! Wow - we have one - and do a lot of cooking. I remember it happened with an oil heater we had once. I'd just been in front of it too. Ours is now about 12 months old - and has been used for most things at all temps. Seems to do a good job. Its not the best brand or dearest - but is big - we got the 900mm. Were there any warning signs.

But - we had an issue with our Microwave oven - top brand. The door kept fogging up and clouding. They replaced the door - then the unit. We use these appliance and never think anything can happen. Good to know no-one was hurt. Re: Technika Oven Exploded 52Jun 22, 2014 9:28 am Sorry for 3 posts ... but has this happened to anyone since - say - the beginning of 2013 - ie a stove built/installed since then ? Especially the 900mm wall oven style ? Or is it something that may happen to all ovens ? ------------------ Later: Just checked ours - I see it has 2 "doors" really - or "sides". The inside glass - and then the outside. Must be empty between. We've used it to around 220 - but it shows a higher reading than this. Your shower screen has failed in the way it is designed to fail with tempered glass. You could replace it with laminated safety glass but make sure it has AS standards logo on it 1 11189 Hi Chippy, no there isn't, gave it a really good look through and literally opened everything and checked all edges as well. Hence the question, just hoping someone would… 2 2086 My daughter and son in law are about to start building, they are having a 600mm induction cook top and 900mm oven.
