Possible Causes
Grease or food spills on bottom of oven, Foil blocking airflow, Incorrect cookware causing spillage
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: If heavy smoke occurs, turn off the oven and open windows. Avoid opening the door fully if flames are present; keep it closed and turn off power.
- Cool and clean: Allow the oven to cool completely. Remove racks and clean up any visible grease or food spills using a non-abrasive cleaner.
- Avoid foil on bottom: Do not line the oven bottom with foil, as it can trap spills and restrict airflow.
- Use drip pans: Place a baking sheet under items likely to drip to catch spills.
- Run a light clean: After cleaning, run the oven at a moderate temperature (e.g., 350°F) for 30–45 minutes to burn off any remaining residue with good ventilation.
