Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your oven, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Oven does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outage; timer not set. | Ensure oven is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check circuit breaker. Turn timer past 10 minutes, then back to desired time. |
| Food is burning or cooking too fast. | Temperature too high; food placed too close to heating elements. | Reduce temperature setting. Adjust rack position to be further from heating elements. Monitor cooking closely. |
| Uneven cooking. | Food not centered; oven preheating insufficient. | Ensure food is centered on the rack. Allow oven to preheat fully before placing food inside. Rotate food halfway through cooking if necessary. |
| Excessive smoke during cooking. | Food residue or grease buildup; high-fat foods. | Clean the crumb tray and interior thoroughly. Use a baking pan under the wire rack to catch drips from high-fat foods. |
