How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the oven if smoke is heavy. Ensure good kitchen ventilation and keep children away.

Checks:

  • Inspect the oven cavity and elements for burnt-on food or grease; clean thoroughly with an oven-safe cleaner.
  • Check for any plastic, packaging, or foreign objects left inside or on the oven exterior near vents.
  • If the smell is electrical (sharp, acrid), disconnect power and inspect wiring and elements for signs of overheating or melting.
  • Replace any discolored or cracked elements and repair damaged wiring.
  • Ensure ventilation gaps around the built-in oven meet Beko installation requirements.

Warning: Persistent electrical burning smell requires immediate professional inspection; risk of fire.
