allow some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the cooker when opening the
oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to
release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface

condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
