normal for a new oven and will disappear after the first few hours of use.
Each oven is preheated, tested and calibrated at the factory before shipment. However,
due to temperature and climate changes during shipment the oven can absorb moisture
and should be dried out before attempting to bake.
Prior to putting any oven into full time operation at normal cooking temperatures, it must
be thoroughly "seasoned" or dried out. Moisture absorption in the closed spaces, in the
insulation and even inside the heating elements can cause future trouble if not properly
treated.
Before the initial use of the oven, the element must be thoroughly allowed to dry out.
This is done by setting the top and bottom oven switches to the "low" position, and setting
