We had thermofoil cabinets in a previous home. One day we ran the self cleaning oven, and the extreme heat from the oven during self-clean mode caused the cabinet closest to the oven to bubble, shrink, and start to peel.

After that episode, we always removed all drawers and cabinet doors prior to running self-clean with the oven.

Been there, done that, just passing along the experience.
