1. The oven smokes a lot because it's dirty

The oven may smoke because it is dirty.

I don't blame you, because that's exactly what happened to me!

A gratin or a lasagne dish that overflows, the fat of a roast or a chicken that squirts...

And now your oven has residues of grease or dirt on the walls.

And when you use it again, well, those food residues and grease splatters just start to burn.

Solution?

To remove these charred remains, there are no 36 solutions.

A good cleaning from top to bottom is essential.

Depending on the oven you have, you can start a pyrolysis or an automatic cleaning.

But the easiest solution is to do a good deep cleaning.

Follow these simple and easy steps so you don't forget anything.

Also remember to clean between the oven windows.

Once your oven is perfect, you just need to maintain it regularly and easily with this tip.

That way, no more smoke!

2. The oven smokes because it is poorly rinsed

Your oven is now clean. Well done!

Small problem... It continues to smoke after cleaning.

Are you sure you rinsed it well?

There may be a little soap or household product left over that you used to wash your oven.

In this case, it is normal for him to smoke.

It is these residues that heat up and make smoke.

Solution?

It's simple, you have to rinse the inside of the oven .

Take a clean sponge and a basin of lukewarm water.

Wet the sponge and put it in the oven:on the walls, the grids and the oven door.

3. The oven smokes because it's new

Have you just bought a brand new oven?

Then look no further!

It is very common for an oven to smoke because it is new.

There may be some component remains in the oven, such as glue.

That's why he smokes.

Solution?

In that case, here's what to do.

Open the windows wide:the smoke can sting the eyes and be toxic.

Then heat the oven on high for about an hour.

The problem will disappear as if by magic.

4. The oven smokes because you use it wrong

We don't question your cooking or cooking skills!

But no one is safe from making mistakes, are they?

A moment of inattention, and hop the thermostat is set incorrectly.

Or we forget the dish in the oven...

As a result, it gets too hot and the meal burns! To whom it has never happened.

I even burnt the children's nuggets like that.

Another possibility:some fats do not tolerate high temperatures well.

This is the case with rapeseed oil, for example.

Just like butter which can blacken easily too and make black smoke.

Solution?

Be sure to use the good fats following the guide.

And follow the recipes carefully to choose the right temperature and cooking time.

5. The oven smokes because there is a problem with the thermostat

You follow the recipes to the letter.

Cooking time:OK. Cooking time:OK.

And yet, your dishes burn, scorch, blacken and give off an acrid smoke...

Icing on the cake, they are not edible!

Have you considered the possibility that the thermostat knobs are misadjusted? ?

That's what the appliance salesman suggested to me.

Perhaps, cleaning the buttons, you simply put them back incorrectly.

As a result, the heat of the oven is never adapted to your recipe.

Solution?

The oven needs to be repaired.

Sometimes it's just a matter of putting the button back on correctly.

If the breakdown is more complex, do not hesitate to claim your device's warranty.

6. The oven smokes because there is a gasket problem

Again, the faulty oven is involved.

If you take a look inside your oven, you will see that the oven door is surrounded by a seal.

It may be damaged or worn .

In this case, the sealing leaves something to be desired.

And the smoke can escape.

Solution?

This seal needs to be changed.

Most of the time, you can do it yourself.

It's not that complicated.

You can buy a stove door seal.

There are universal kits with a gasket to be cut and glue suitable for ovens.

But you can also find specific seals for all brands of oven:Bosch, Siemens, Faure, Dietrich, Electrolux, Indesit, Rowenta...

7. The oven smokes because there is an electrical problem

This is probably the most annoying problem, because it is the most dangerous .

The smoke can actually come from an electrical problem.

Either the electrical problem comes from the oven or it comes from your electrical installation in the kitchen.

Solution?

Either way, don't wait.

Stop the oven immediately.

And call an electrician or an appliance repairman depending on the source of the problem.

And don't use it until the problem is solved.
