Possible Causes
Spilled food or grease on oven floor, Residue on bake or broil elements, New oven burn-in fumes, Incorrect cookware or liners blocking airflow
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If smoke is heavy, turn off the oven and ventilate the kitchen. Avoid opening the door fully if flames are present.
- Inspect interior: Once cool, check for spills or heavy grease buildup on the oven floor, walls, and racks.
- Clean oven: Use the oven's self-clean cycle if appropriate, or manually clean with a non-abrasive cleaner approved for ovens.
- Burn-in new oven: For new Monogram ranges, run an empty bake cycle at 400–450°F for 30–60 minutes to burn off manufacturing residues.
- Avoid foil on floor: Do not line the oven bottom with foil or liners that can trap heat and cause burning.
