Baked a pizza with new oven and noticed steam escaping from the right which did smell like pizza. The steam function was not just off but I had no water in the container. Is this normal? The pizza was amazingly good, regardless.

That’s just water released during cooking. The fan is always on low even if the rear setting is off so it gets expelled in the front. Totally normal.
