If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the appliance, 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 discolouration, 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
