Persistent burning smell or smoke during normal cooking

Safety: Turn off the oven and allow it to cool fully before cleaning.

• Inspect cavity: Remove shelves and trays. Look for heavy deposits on the base, around the fan cover, and on the grill element.
• Clean thoroughly: Use a suitable oven cleaner (non‑caustic for enamel) or a baking soda paste. Avoid spraying directly onto elements; instead, wipe them gently with a damp cloth.
• Drip trays: Use a baking tray under fatty foods to catch drips and prevent future build‑up.
• Check door seal: A damaged seal can allow smoke to escape; replace if necessary.
