How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before inspecting seals.

Steps:

  • Inspect gasket: Check the oven door seal for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Replace if damaged.
  • Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes evenly on all sides. Adjust hinges or replace if necessary.
  • Clean vents: Locate and clean oven vent openings to ensure steam can escape correctly.
  • Usage: For very moist foods, open the door briefly at the end of cooking to release steam.

Warning: Persistent steam around the control panel can damage electronics; address seal issues promptly.
