Water or condensation dripping from oven door or vent after cooking

Safety first: Surfaces may be hot; allow cooling before cleaning around the door and vents.

• Check door seal: Inspect the gasket for gaps or damage that could allow steam to escape and condense on cooler surfaces. Replace if worn.
• Clean condensation channels: Some Brandt ovens have small channels or holes near the door frame to direct condensation. Clean these with a soft brush or toothpick.
• Improve ventilation: Use the extractor hood and open a window when cooking high‑moisture foods. Leave the oven door slightly ajar after cooking to allow moisture to escape.
• Normal behavior: A small amount of water is normal, especially in modern well‑sealed ovens. Wipe away after use to prevent staining.
