|
|
|
|
| To help minimise always: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being cooked |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| B) Use a coved Utensil wherever possible |
Condensation on the Wall at the Rear of the Cooker |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the appliance when using an oven, particularly when cooking foods |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| with a high water content (Such as Oven Chips or Chicken). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This is normal and any excess should be wiped off |
