Hoover oven emits a strong electrical or plastic burning smell when first used or after element replacement.

Safety first: Ensure good room ventilation when performing burn-off. If smoke is excessive or you see flames, switch off the oven immediately.

• Initial burn-off:
  • Remove all packaging, labels, and plastic from inside and around the oven.
  • Wipe the cavity with a damp cloth and dry.
  • Run the oven empty at 200–220°C for 30–60 minutes with the door closed and kitchen ventilated.
• Recheck after burn-off:
  • If the smell persists after several uses, inspect elements and wiring for actual overheating damage.
