Range or cooktop emits a strong burning or electrical smell during use.

Safety first: If you smell a sharp electrical or burning plastic odor, turn off the appliance and disconnect power. If you see smoke or flames, evacuate and call emergency services.

• For new units: Run an initial burn-in cycle per Midea instructions (e.g., bake at 200–230°C / 400–450°F for 30–60 minutes) with good ventilation.
• Check for foreign materials: Ensure all packaging, zip ties, and plastic films have been removed from inside and under the range.
• Clean spills: Wipe up any grease or food on elements and oven floor once cooled.

Persistent electrical smell or visible charring around wiring requires immediate inspection by a qualified technician.
