Possible Causes

Food or grease on elements, new-oven protective oils burning off, wiring insulation overheating, failing element

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Immediate actions:

  • If you see flames, turn off the oven and keep the door closed to smother the fire. Turn off power at the isolator.
  • If only smoke or smell: turn off the oven and allow it to cool. Ventilate the room.

Inspection:

  • Check for spilled food or grease on the base, grill, or elements. Clean thoroughly with appropriate oven cleaner once cool.
  • Inspect the elements and wiring (rear panel removed) for signs of overheating or melting. Replace any damaged components.
  • On a new Leisure range, run an initial burn-in cycle at high temperature (e.g. 250°C for 30–60 minutes) with good ventilation to burn off manufacturing residues.

Warning: Persistent burning smells with no visible spills may indicate an electrical fault; have the cooker inspected by a technician.
