“Burning” or “oily”

To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a
minimum of 3 hours. See the Cleaning the Oven
section.
Strong odor An odor from the insulation around
the inside of the oven is normal for the
first few times the oven is used. This is temporary and will go away after several uses
or a self-clean cycle.
Fan noise A cooling fan may automatically turn
on. This is normal. The cooling fan will turn on to cool
internal parts. It may run for up to 1-1/2 hours after the
oven is turned off.
My oven door glass
appears to be
"tinted" or have a
"rainbow" color. Is
this defective? No. The inner oven glass is coated with
a heat barrier to reflect the heat back
into the oven to prevent heat loss and
keep the outer door cool while baking. This is normal. Under certain light or angles, you may
see this tint or rainbow color.
