Smeg models: Smeg ovens have a temperature probe at the rear cavity wall. The Portofino and Victoria ranges are dual-fuel (gas hob, electric oven). Smeg's rapid pre-heat mode activates multiple elements simultaneously — a louder-than-expected preheat phase is a normal behaviour of this feature.
Common causes
- Over-temperature event triggered C1 as a secondary lockout
- Power interruption during self-clean
Step-by-step fix
- Allow full cooling.
- Power cycle.
