Oven emits burning smell or smoke during normal cooking (not first use or cleaning)

Safety first: If heavy smoke appears, switch off the oven and breaker immediately and ventilate the room. Do not leave the oven unattended.

• Inspect cavity: Once cool, remove racks and trays. Check for burnt-on food or grease near elements and on the cavity floor. Clean thoroughly with an oven-safe cleaner.
• Check elements and wiring: Remove rear and bottom panels to inspect elements and wiring for signs of burning or melted insulation. Replace any damaged parts.
• Test at moderate temperature: Run the oven empty at 180–200°C for 20–30 minutes and observe. A slight smell may be normal after cleaning, but persistent burning smell indicates a component issue.
• Stop use if unsure: If you see glowing wires, arcing, or smoke from behind panels, disconnect power and arrange professional service.
