Oven emits smoke or burning smell during normal cooking (not first‑time burn‑in) on Miele range.

Safety: If smoke is heavy, turn off the oven, open windows, and keep the door closed to smother flames if any. Do not leave the appliance unattended.

• Inspect cavity: Once cool, inspect for food or grease on the elements and cavity surfaces. Clean with appropriate oven cleaner (avoid damaging catalytic liners).
• Remove foreign objects: Ensure no plastic, foil, or packaging remains in the oven.
• Check wiring: If burning smell persists with a clean cavity, disconnect power and inspect wiring around elements and the rear of the oven for signs of overheating or melted insulation.
• Service if needed: Replace any damaged wiring or components and have a technician inspect if the source is not obvious.
