Strong burning smell or smoke from oven during normal cooking (not first use or pyrolytic)

Safety first: Turn off the oven immediately if you see smoke. Keep the door closed to smother any flames and disconnect power.

• Inspect interior: Once cool, check for food or grease deposits on elements and cavity surfaces. Clean thoroughly with appropriate oven cleaner.
• Check wiring and components: Remove rear and top covers to look for melted insulation, burnt connectors, or discolored plastic parts. Replace any damaged wiring and secure away from hot areas.
• Fan motor check: Smell near the cooling and convection fans. If the odor is strongest there and the motor is very hot, replace the motor.
• Test at low temperature: After cleaning and repairs, test the oven at a low temperature and monitor for any remaining smell before returning to normal use.

Note: A slight smell is normal on first use or after replacing elements, but persistent burning odor indicates a fault.
