@press release
..probably it was just a blocked filter in the avionic ventilation system, which generates the ECAM warning. happens quite often, especially if you use "cheap" filters.nothing to worry about

The checklist says IF SMOKE EXISTS
neither crew member recalled smelling smoke or fumes during the flight.
...the pilots didn't observe any smoke....so why did they continue with the procedure...unnecessary....pilots fault...no heroes then
