Oven emits a strong burning or electrical smell during use.

Safety: If you smell strong electrical burning or see smoke from control areas, shut off power immediately.

• Initial burn-in: For new or recently serviced ovens, run an empty bake cycle at 400–450°F for 30–60 minutes with good ventilation to burn off manufacturing residues.
• Clean interior: Remove heavy grease or food spills from the cavity and elements using a manufacturer-approved cleaner.
• Inspect behind panels: If the smell is electrical, remove the rear or top panel and inspect wiring, motors, and the control board for discoloration or melted insulation. Replace any damaged components.
• Do not ignore persistent electrical odors: Continued use with overheating wiring or components is a fire hazard. Contact a qualified technician if you cannot locate the source.
