Oven produces a burning smell or smoke when in use.

Safety: If you see flames or heavy smoke, switch off the oven immediately and keep the door closed. Allow to cool before inspection.

• Initial burn-off: New Belling ovens or replacement elements may emit odour during first use. Run empty at high temperature for 30–60 minutes with good ventilation.
• Clean interior: Remove burnt-on food or grease from elements, liners, and trays using appropriate oven cleaner (avoid spraying directly on elements or sensors).
• Inspect wiring: Remove rear and top covers to check for discoloured or melting insulation. Replace any damaged wiring.
• Check fan motor: A failing motor can overheat and smell. Replace if noisy, stiff, or excessively hot.
