You don't give any details about the spec. in particular the oven element ratings & the only ref I can find about that model says it should be hard wired so I suspect that is why your plug has burnt out. Oven elements do fail especially if you replace them with non manufacturers parts. The connectors overheating is probably a design issue. You may be unlucky or it may be a crap model but I don't know for sure.
