Possible Cause
Power outage or surge
This is normal in a new oven and will
disappear in time.
An odor from the insulation around
the inside of the oven is normal for the
first few times the oven is used.
A convection fan may automatically
turn on and off.
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.
Cookware or food in oven.
Number of racks in oven.
Different cooking modes.
Power failure.
Oven control pads were not touched
properly.
You forgot to enter a bake temperature
or cleaning time.
The shiny, silver-colored racks were
cleaned in a self-clean cycle.
When using the ovens, it is normal to
see steam coming out of the oven vents.
As the number of racks or amount
of food being cooked increases, the
amount of visible steam will increase.
The drawer is out of alignment.
Drawer is over-loaded or load is
unbalanced.
A fuse in your home may be blown or
the circuit breaker tripped.
Controls improperly set.
Liquid in drawer.
Uncovered foods.
Temperature setting too high.
Moisture escaping.
Drawer not fully closed.
This is normal.
This is reminding you to enter a probe
temperature after plugging in the probe.
What To Do
Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset it by
pressing the Cancel/Off pad, setting the clock and resetting
any cooking function.
To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum
of 3 hours. See the Cleaning the Oven section.

self-clean cycle.

maximize cooking evenness. The convection fan will operate
during preheat of the bake cycle. The fan will turn off after the
oven is heated to the set temperature. This is normal.
this tint or rainbow color.
The cookware or food in the oven will cause the oven to take
longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce preheat time.
Adding more racks to the oven will cause the oven to take
longer to preheat. Remove some racks.
The different cooking modes use different preheat methods
to heat the oven for the specific cooking mode. Some
modes will take longer than others (i.e. convection bake).
Reset the clock.
The Broil HI/LO and Bake pads must be touched at the
same time and held for 3 seconds.
Touch the Bake pad and desired temperature or the Self
clean pad and desired clean time.

wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel. Do
not spray with Pam ® or other lubricant sprays.
