How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If you suspect an electrical burning smell (sharp, acrid), turn off power immediately and do not use the oven until inspected.
- 1. New oven burn‑in: For new installations, run the oven empty at 200–220°C for 30–60 minutes with good ventilation to burn off manufacturing residues.
- 2. Visual inspection: With power off and oven cool, remove rear and top panels. Look for discolored or melted wiring, especially near elements and the terminal block.
- 3. Check element surfaces: Inspect elements for foreign objects (plastic, packaging) that may have fallen onto them. Remove any debris.
- 4. Repair wiring: Replace any overheated wires and secure harnesses away from hot metal surfaces using high‑temperature clips or ties.
