Oven produces excessive smoke during normal baking (not self-clean)

Safety First: If heavy smoke occurs, turn off the oven and open windows. Avoid opening the door fully if flames are present.

• Allow to cool: Let the oven cool completely before cleaning.
• Clean interior: Remove racks and clean the oven cavity with a non-caustic oven cleaner or baking soda solution. Pay special attention to the bottom and around elements.
• Use drip pans: Place a baking sheet under foods that may drip grease.
• Avoid high broil on greasy foods: Use lower rack positions and temperatures to reduce splatter.
