Incident Details

Incident Description: I have a maytag gemini double oven with a broiler feature in the top oven. The broiler sets fire to food/pans in it very easily. A couple times it has been very small and gone out on its own. Today it was big enough that we needed a fire extinguisher to put it out. I have never had this issue with other ovens in my life. I always use the broiler on the lowest setting also.
