Solution
Steam is
coming out of
the vent.
When using the convection
feature, it is normal to see
steam coming out of the oven
vent.
This is normal operation and
not a system failure.
Use the range as usual.
As the number of racks or
amount of food being cooked
increases, the amount of
visible steam will increase.
A burning or
oily odor is
coming from
the vent.
This is normal in a new oven
and will disappear in time.
•
To speed the process, set
a self-cleaning cycle for a
minimum of 3 hours.

See the section on self-
cleaning on page
Strong odor.
An odor coming from the
insulation around the inside
of the oven is normal for the
first few times the oven is
used.
Operate the oven empty on
the bake setting at 400 °F for
1 hour.
Fan noise.
A convection fan may
automatically turn on and off.
This is not a system failure
but normal operation.
Oven racks
are difficult to
slide.
The shiny, silver-colored

Apply a small amount of
vegetable oil to a paper towel,
and then wipe the edges of
the oven racks with the paper
towel.
