Possible Causes

Steam condensing on cool surfaces, Blocked condensation channels, Overfilled basket with high-moisture foods, Damaged rear condensation outlet (on some models)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep the appliance on a heat-resistant, moisture-tolerant surface.

Steps to manage condensation:

  • Check placement: Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit so steam can dissipate.
  • Inspect rear outlets: On models with a condensation outlet, check that it is not blocked by grease or debris. Clean gently with a brush.
  • Use drip tray: Place a heat-resistant mat or tray under the unit if minor condensation is unavoidable.
  • Avoid overloading: Reduce the amount of high-moisture food cooked at once to limit steam production.
