Steam is 
coming out of 
the vent.
When using the convection 
feature, it is normal to see 
steam coming out of the oven

This is normal operation and 
not a system failure.
Use the range as usual.
As the number of racks or 
amount of food being cooked 
increases, the amount of 
visible steam will increase.

oily odor is 
coming from

This is normal in a new oven 
and will disappear in time.
•  To speed the process, set 
a self-cleaning cycle for a
