“Burning” or “oily” odor 

emitting from the vent

This is normal in a  new oven and will 

disappear in time. 

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.

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.
