pressing the Cancel/Off pad, setting the clock and resetting
any cooking function.
“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.
Fan noise A convection fan may automatically
turn on and off. This is normal. The fan is designed to operate intermittently to
maximize cooking evenness. The convection fan will operate
during preheat of the bake cycle. The fan will turn off after the
oven is heated to the set temperature. This is normal.
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. 7KLVLVQRUPDO8QGHUFHUWDLQOLJKWRUDQJOHV\RXPD\VHH
this tint or rainbow color.
Sometimes the oven
takes longer to preheat
to the same temperature Cookware or food in oven. The cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven to take
longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce preheat time.
Number of racks in oven. Adding more racks to the oven will cause the oven to take
longer to preheat. Remove some racks.
Different cooking modes. The different cooking modes use different preheat methods
to heat the oven for the specific cooking mode. Some
modes will take longer than others (i.e. convection bake).
Display flashes Power failure. Reset the clock.

cleaned in a self-clean cycle. Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and
wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel. Do
not spray with Pam
® or other lubricant sprays.
Steam from the vent When using the ovens, it is normal to
see steam coming out of the oven vents.
As the number of racks or amount
of food being cooked increases, the
amount of visible steam will increase. This is normal.
