Indesit oven emits strong burning smell or smoke on normal use (not first use)

Safety: If you see flames or heavy smoke, switch off power and keep the door closed. Allow to cool before inspection.

Steps:

• 1. Visual inspection: Check elements and cavity for burnt-on food, plastic, or foil. Remove any foreign objects.
• 2. Clean cavity: Use a non-caustic oven cleaner (following instructions) to remove heavy grease, especially near elements.
• 3. Check wiring and insulation: Remove rear panel and inspect for signs of burning on insulation or wiring. Replace any burnt components.
• 4. Burn-off cycle: After cleaning and repairs, run the oven empty at 200–220°C for 30–45 minutes with good ventilation to burn off residues.
