Oven emits a strong burning smell or smoke during normal cooking (not first use or self-clean)

Safety: Turn off the oven if smoke is visible. Open windows for ventilation. Do not leave the oven unattended.

• Visual inspection: Once cool, inspect the cavity, elements, and floor for burnt-on food or grease. Clean thoroughly with appropriate oven cleaner (avoid spraying directly on sensors or elements).
• Check drip trays: Ensure trays are in place to catch drips and not overflowing.
• Inspect wiring (advanced): With power OFF, remove rear/top panels and look for discoloured or melted wiring near elements and fans.
• Test run: Run the oven empty at moderate temperature and observe for smell or smoke. If it persists without visible contamination, internal components may be overheating.

Warning: If you see arcing, melting, or persistent smoke from inside panels, disconnect power immediately and arrange professional service.
