I am trying to trace the manufacturers of this product, as I would like to notify them of a potentially dangerous fault.
I had a new Tricity TSC09 slow cooker, sadly used only twice before it melted! I placed the slow cooker on my kitchen work top approx 50cm from my hob. OK a little close, but no closer than my toaster or any other kitchen appliance. On using the hob to boil potatoes, the heat from the gas ring (not excessive), has melted the plastic front and trim of the slow cooker. Luckily I was in the kitchen at the time and was able to attend to the matter. I have pictures to illustrate the damage should you wish to see these.
I write, as I feel obliged to notify Tricity of these events, and would like to suggest that Tricity look into their use of plastics, and consider the use of one that can withhold stronger heat sources, bearing in mind they are producing an item intended to be used in a functioning kitchen.
