AGA oven emits a burning smell or smoke during normal cooking (not first use).

Safety first: If you see flames, turn off the oven and keep the door closed. If smoke is heavy, ventilate the room and consider using a fire extinguisher rated for cooking appliances.

• Inspect cavity: Once cool, remove racks and check for heavy grease or food deposits on the elements and oven floor. Clean with appropriate oven cleaner (avoid spraying directly on sensors or elements).
• Check elements and wiring: Remove the rear panel and inspect elements and wiring for signs of burning or melted insulation. Replace any damaged components.
• Ventilation: Ensure vents are not blocked and that the cooling fan operates correctly to prevent overheating of control components.
• Test operation: Run the oven empty at a moderate temperature for 15–20 minutes to burn off any remaining residue, monitoring for smell or smoke.
• Persistent smell: If burning smell persists with a clean cavity, have an AGA technician inspect internal insulation and wiring.
