Problem
Possible cause
When using the oven feature,
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 38.
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 then wipe the edges of
the oven racks with the paper
towel.
