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

Safety first: Ensure good kitchen ventilation. Turn off the oven if smoke is heavy or has a burning plastic smell.

• Inspect interior: Once cool, remove racks and check for heavy grease or food buildup on the bottom, walls, and elements. Clean with an oven-safe cleaner according to the manual.
• Avoid foil on bottom: Remove any foil lining the oven bottom or covering vents; this can trap heat and cause smoking and damage.
• Burn-in new oven: For a new Stoves oven, run an empty bake cycle at a moderate temperature for 30–60 minutes to burn off manufacturing residues, following the user manual.
• Check elements: Inspect elements for localized bright spots or flaking, which can cause burning. Replace if damaged.
