Cooker Elements

Where you have the grill element enclosed in the top of the main oven as in most single built-in ovens there is a always the problem of grease splashing up on to the grill element when using or cooking by the oven, and this deposit when using the grill can cause this to burn and produce smoke, this will normally burn off quite quickly but if its sometime since you used the grill can be quite alarming by the amount of smoke given off, its probably best to open your windows and let it burn off . Regular cleaning of the grill element will prevent the worst of this but can sometimes be difficult to reach behind the element to do this, one method which can be used is when cooking in the oven is cover on of the oven shelves with foil and slide this just below the grill element which prevents the grease and splashes reaching the element or to cover the food being cooked where possible.

Grill And Fan Oven Elements

Conventional cooking ovens which may also have fan heating have an element fitted under the base panel of the main oven which is used together with outer ring of the grill element to produce the heat in the oven, If taking a long while to cook it could be that this element has failed and if you can’t feel the base of the getting hot about 5 minutes after turning on this could be the case, testing of the element can only be undertaken by removal of the rear of the oven an electrical test carried out.
