• The door seal stops microwave leakage during oven
operation, but does not form an airtight seal. It is
normal to see drops of water, light or feel warm air
around the oven door. Food with a high moisture
content will release steam and cause condensation
inside the door which may drip from the oven.

The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so steam
produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface. The amount of steam
produced depends on the water content of the food being cooked. Some foods, such
as potatoes have a high moisture content. Condensation trapped in the door glass
should clear after a few hours.
