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

Safety warning: If you see sparks or suspect electrical burning, switch off at the mains immediately.

• 1. Inspect interior: When cool, remove shelves and check for burnt-on food or grease on the base, elements, and fan cover. Clean thoroughly with an appropriate oven cleaner.
• 2. Check elements: Look for hot spots, blisters, or cracks on elements. Replace any suspect element.
• 3. Smell test at rear: With power off, remove the rear cover and inspect wiring and the terminal block for signs of overheating or charring. Repair or replace damaged components.
• 4. Test under supervision: After cleaning and inspection, run the oven empty at a moderate temperature for 20–30 minutes with good ventilation to burn off residues. If burning smell persists, seek professional diagnosis.
