“Burning” or “oily” odor
emitting from the vent
This is normal in a new oven and
will disappear in time.

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.

(on some models)
A cooling fan may automatically
turn on and off.
This is normal on some models. The cooling fan will
turn off and on to cool internal parts. It may run after
the oven is turned off.
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.
