Problem
Possible cause
When using steam clean,
it is normal to see steam
coming out of the oven
vent.
As the number of racks
or amount of food being
cooked increases, the
amount of visible steam
will increase.
This is normal in a new
oven and will disappear in
time.
An odor coming from the
insulation around the inside
of the oven is normal for
the first few times the oven
is used.
The shiny, silver-colored
racks were cleaned in a
self-cleaning cycle.
Solution
This is normal operation,
and not a system failure.
Use the range as usual.
•
To speed the process,
set a self-cleaning cycle
for a minimum of 3
hours.
•
See the section on self-
cleaning on page 34.
Operate the oven empty on
the bake setting at 400 °F
for 1 hour.
Apply a small amount of
vegetable oil to a paper
towel and wipe the edges
of the oven racks with the
paper towel.
