Dangers of a Damaged Oven Door Seal

Our colleague in the Bath area has issued a warning to householders about the importance of maintaining seals on domestic ovens.
Damaged or ineffective oven seals can lead to a number of health and safety problems including adhesive flammability and, if seals are ‘patched up’ with adhesives containing superglue (cyanoacrylate), harmful cyanide poisons can be generated in gaseous form.
Ineffective oven seals can also lead to excessive heat loss from ovens, which can cause insulation and energy efficiency issues. In addition, if the seal is broken or stretched it could also burn the cupboards next to the oven.
