Oven produces excessive smoke during normal baking (not self-clean).

Safety first: Ensure good kitchen ventilation. If smoke is heavy or smells electrical, turn off the oven and breaker.

Step-by-step checks:

• Inspect cavity: Look for heavy grease or food spills on the bottom, sides, and elements. Remove large debris with a damp cloth when cool.
• Avoid foil on bottom: Remove any foil or liners from the oven floor that can trap spills and overheat.
• Clean oven: Use the oven's self-clean cycle if available (following the manual) or a manufacturer-approved oven cleaner. Avoid spraying directly on elements or door gasket.
• New oven burn-off: For new Amana ovens, run an empty bake cycle at 400–450°F for 30–60 minutes to burn off manufacturing residues, with windows open.
