(12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces
including the vent at the rear of the hob. See note at
the top of this page.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
cooker should be securely fixed to the wall.
