GB-14steamWhen you microwave food, steam is created aswater in the food heats up and evaporates.The steam formed during microwave cooking isentirely safe. It has to escape from the micro-wave to prevent pressure from building upinside the oven. It does this through the ventson the back of the oven and from around thedoor.condensationAs the steam cools, you may find the condensa-tion gathers in small pools inside your micro-wave and on the work surface beneath thedoor and vents.Always dry the oven after cooking foods with ahigh moisture content.Your microwave is designed to let steam escapefrom the vents and around the door withoutmicrowave energy escaping. (Fig 1)There is no danger of microwave energy escap-ing with the steam.product overview1control panelopen button
