Do It Yourself section.
STEAM FROM THE VENT • When using Convection Bake or Convection Roast, it is normal to see steam
coming out of the oven vent. As the number of shelves or amount of food being
cooked increases, the amount of visible steam will increase.
OVEN TEMPERATURE • Oven thermostat needs adjustment. See the Adjust the Oven Thermostat—
TOO HOT OR TOO COLD Do It Yourself section.
“BURNING” OR “OILY” • This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in time. To speed the process,
ODOR EMITTING FROM set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-
OVEN WHEN TURNED ON Cleaning 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.
FAN NOISE • A cooling fan or a convection fan (depending on the function you are using)
may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal
and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is off.
