Problem
Possible cause
There is excessive soiling
in the oven.
The oven is too hot.
The oven controls were not
set correctly.
The oven was heavily
soiled.
When using the convection
feature, it is normal to see
steam coming out of the
oven vent.
As the number of racks
or amount of food being
cooked increases, the
amount of visible steam
will increase.
This is normal in a new
oven and will disappear in
time.
Solution
Press OVEN OFF. Open the
windows to rid the room of
smoke. Wait until the self-
cleaning cycle is cancelled.
Wipe up the excessive soil,
and then start the self-
cleaning cycle again.
Allow the oven to cool.
See the section on self-
cleaning on page 34.
Wipe up heavy spillovers
before starting the self-
cleaning cycle. Heavily
soiled ovens may need to be
self-cleaned again or for a
longer period of time.
This is normal operation,
and not a system failure. Use
the range as usual.
If the range is new, operate
the oven empty on bake at
400 °F for 1 hour. You can
also try wiping up residue in
the oven when it is cool.
