Oven produces a strong burning smell or smoke during normal baking (not first use or self-clean).

Safety First: If heavy smoke or flames appear, turn off the oven and breaker immediately and keep the door closed to smother flames.

• Inspect interior: Once cool, remove racks and inspect the oven cavity, elements, and bottom panel for spills, grease, or foreign objects (plastic, packaging).
• Clean thoroughly: Use a non-abrasive oven cleaner or baking soda solution to remove grease and residues. Avoid spraying directly on elements; wipe them with a damp cloth only when cool.
• Check liners: Remove any foil or aftermarket liners that may block vents or cover the oven bottom; these can cause overheating.
• Verify temperature: If burning smell persists with a clean oven, check temperature accuracy with a thermometer and test the sensor; replace faulty components.
