Condensation on the
wall at the rear of the
cooker.
Steam and / or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear of the
appliance when using an oven particularly for foods with a high water content
e.g. frozen chips, roast chicken etc. This is normal, and any excess should be
wiped off.
Steam is a by - product of cooking any food with a high water contact.
To help minimise always:
a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being cooked.
b) Use a covered container, wherever possible.
