be visible. Some smoke and odor during the cleaning process is a normal
occurrence. Since theovenventis locatedonthetopofthecontrol panel, vapors,
moisture, etc. may be seencoming from this area.

through the oven window. This is caused by excessive food soil that was not
removed before the oven was set to clean.
