Oven emits smoke or burning odor during normal baking (not first use or self-clean).

Safety First: If smoke is heavy or you see flames, turn off the oven, keep the door closed, and allow the fire to extinguish. Do not use water on grease fires.

Step-by-step:

• Inspect interior: After cooling, remove racks and inspect the oven bottom and elements for spills or buildup. Clean with an appropriate oven cleaner.
• Remove foil: Do not line the oven bottom or racks with foil, as this can trap heat and cause overheating.
• Check elements: Inspect bake and broil elements for blisters or burn marks. Replace any damaged oven elements.
• Wiring check: If odor smells electrical (sharp, acrid), disconnect power and inspect wiring behind the oven for overheating or melted insulation. Repair or replace damaged wiring and components.
