A:AnswerHey there,
We can absolutely understand how unpleasant that new oven smell is. The smoke or odor should dissipate after the first few uses. If you want to get rid of the odor quicker, then consider the following tips: Self Clean Oven:
We recommend running the Self Clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours.
Important: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self Clean cycle of any oven. We recommend birds be moved to another, well-ventilated room when running the Self Clean cycle.
Steam Clean or Standard Clean Oven:
We recommend running the oven on Bake at 500 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour and then running the Hi Broil for 45 minutes. We hope this is helpful. Let us know if you have any other questions. Mike@Cafe
A:AnswerHi - Thanks for considering Café Model CES700P2MS1! Steam Clean allows for quick cleaning of minor food spills at temperatures lower than the standard self-clean feature. Simply pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of a cool oven. Close the door and select Steam Clean. The cycle lasts about 30 minutes, and loosens and softens the grime in the oven. Self-clean is cleaned by heat, at temperatures above normal cooking temperatures. During the cleaning cycle the oven is heated to about 880 degrees Fahrenheit (471° C.). At this temperature, food soils inside the oven decompose, leaving behind a small amount of ash. The leftover ash is similar to cigarette ashes, and wipes out easily with a wet cloth.

Hi 215 - 250° F. We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks for choosing Cafe appliances! Olga@Cafe
A:AnswerHi there, thanks for reaching out! By default, the temperature will be displayed on the screen of the unit when you are preheating the oven. Even after the oven has finished preheating, the temperature will remain on the display so you know how hot the oven is. We hope that this helps! Stay safe. -Michael

A:AnswerThis CES700P4MW2 model comes with a Matte White finish and Brushed Bronze hardware. However, an optional Brushed Stainless handle kit is available to be purchased separately. It is model number CXFCEHKPMSS and can be purchased on the Best Buy website, on our GE Appliances Parts website or by calling our parts team at 1-877-959-8688 M-F 9AM-7PM EST.
A:AnswerYes there is a digital keypad for oven temps and other baking options. I’ve had this stove since March (about 7 months) and I have very few complaints about it. I struggle with eye problems so I would have liked a bigger and brighter control pad. I have never had the control pad lock up or freeze. The oven is controlled by a keypad, but the oven light is a knob. I am a gourmet cook and cook nearly every night from scratch. What I like most about the stove is the cooktop that has good, even heat for simmering sauces. I was very skeptical about the stove, but I don’t regret my purchase. I have not connected to my phone to enable special features. Not sure if I want to be bothered by another feature that may become an annoying reminder.
A:AnswerHello - We are sorry to hear that the enamel on the bottom of the oven bubbled up and has peeled off. We recommend taking advantage of your warranty by scheduling a service appointment with an authorized GE Appliance technician by calling 1-800-432-2737. We apologize for any inconvenience it has caused. Olga@Cafe
