Visible steam or moisture condenses on the control panel or door glass during cooking.

Safety first: Avoid touching hot glass or metal surfaces. Condensation itself is not dangerous but can obscure visibility.

• Check oven vent: Locate the oven vent outlet (often above the door). Ensure it is not blocked by foil, pans, or trim.
• Inspect door gasket: Replace the gasket if it is damaged or not sealing evenly, which can direct steam toward the controls.
• Improve kitchen ventilation: Use a range hood or open a window when cooking high-moisture foods.
• Wipe condensation: After the oven cools, wipe away moisture from the control panel and glass to prevent staining.
