Possible Causes

Blocked ventilation openings, High humidity cooking (e.g., boiling water) without adequate venting, Faulty cavity fan, Poor installation clearances

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Condensation itself is not dangerous, but poor ventilation can lead to overheating.

User actions:

  • After cooking, open the door for a few minutes to allow steam to escape.
  • Wipe down the interior with a dry cloth to remove moisture.
  • Check that all external vents are clear of dust and obstructions.
  • Verify that installation clearances meet SMEG specifications.

If condensation is extreme and accompanied by overheating or error codes, the internal fan or ventilation path may be compromised and should be checked by a technician.
