Hoover oven emits a burning smell or smoke during normal cooking (not first use).

Safety first: If you see heavy smoke or flames, switch off the oven at the mains and keep the door closed until flames subside. Do not use water on an electrical appliance.

• Inspect and clean cavity:
  • Once cool, remove shelves and trays.
  • Clean baked-on grease from the cavity, especially near elements, using an oven-safe cleaner.
• Check elements and wiring:
  • Inspect elements for hot spots, blisters, or cracks.
  • Remove rear/top panels and check wiring for signs of overheating or melting.
  • Replace any damaged elements or wiring using high-temperature cable.
• Verify ventilation:
  • Ensure vents are not blocked and the oven is installed with correct clearances.
• Test: Run the oven empty at a moderate temperature for 20–30 minutes to burn off any remaining residue, ensuring the room is well ventilated.
