Our SamSung oven has steam coming out the vents when we cook certain things.
I think the repair guy is correct.

May I get the make and model # to help you more

Hi,
Yes you can use it in gas or electric ovens....if you gas oven has a standing pilot, you may want to shut that off while you are cleaning the oven...

" Wish I had read this first. I never would have used the self cleaning option. Thanks for the info!!

No and no...
I would use the self cleaning anyway it gets everything too hot and cuases things to go wrong faster, like burning up the coatings on your wires and such...it is a bad idea but it sells ranges...so go figure.
Definetly noy if your glass has a crack... unless you want to replace it right now...

No solution--but I have the EXACT same problem--brand new oven and first time steam cleaned used. Wondering if you got any resolution with this...

The SteamClean option spot cleans the oven in 20 minutes and is recommended for cleaning light spills on the bottom of the oven cavity. When used routinely, the SteamClean option reduces the need for frequent self-clean cycle use. To use the SteamClean option, pour 12 ounces (1 1/2 cup) of water into the bottom of the oven cavity, close the oven door and push the SteamClean button. At the end of the cycle, consumers wipe out the bottom of the oven, easily removing oven soils. The steam cleaning option is eco-friendly and does not require frequent use of the self-clean cycle, which can create a strong odor. Read this in a post about the new whirlpool ranges

Turn the right hand button onto the ECS symbol. This is the cleaning cycle. Make sure you put some soapy water in the 'well' at the bottom of the oven. The oven is then steam cleaned.

Should be o/k ,but do not put any on stay clean oven liners if you have them fitted.
