“I’m using my oven for the first time. A pan of potatoes is in the upper oven and a TON of steam is coming out of a small vent under the left hand burner control knobs (none on the right). The photo doesn’t show the amount of steam well. Is this normal??”

Hi Molly - Thanks for reaching out to us regarding the steam. The oven is vented through a duct behind the right rear burner on the backsplash. This will cause that area of your cooktop to feel warm and may even seem to be turned on. It is normal to see steam and vapors coming from the oven vent during baking or roasting. Your new oven may be larger than your former range and, therefore, holds more food for baking and roasting. With this increased capacity, you may see an increase in visible steam and vapors. When using the convection feature, it is normal to see steam coming out of the oven vent. As the number of shelves or amount of food being cooked increases, the amount of visible steam will also increase. Keep in touch! Sue
