I was cooking some food when I noticed a burning plastic smell and some smoke coming out of the knob, I let it cool down, and when I turned it back on, there wasn't any smoke but the burning smell returned, is the plate damaged, or is it some stuck food being burned?
The burning plastic smell seems to be coming from the plate, even when it is dissassembled like this, i can smell it from the centre.
I've been cooking some slow recipies that need a lot of heat (a lot of boiling water and slow stewing) under the kitchen fan, and the smell has greatly dissipated, it looks like the smoke was not a really big problem.
