## Discrepancy

ODOR OF UNDETERMINED ORGIN IN FWD GALLEY AREA (OVERHEAD VENT) SEEMS TO DIMINISH WHEN OVENS TURNED OFF, BUT NOT GO AWAY COMPLETELY.  NO OTHER ABNORMAL INDICATIONS.  REQUEST MAINT INVESTIGATE BEFORE FURTHER FLIGHT.  MAINT RAN OVENS, INSPECTED COMPONENTS IN AREA, NO DISCREPANCIES FOUND.  SUSPECT CONTAMINATION OF NEW OVENS/BURNED SAUCE ON OVEN RACKS FOR PRODUCING UNUSUAL AROMA.  SMELL WAS NOT ELECTRICAL.
