Steam; Condensation; Product Overview - Kenwood K23GSS10 Owner's Manual

steam

When you microwave food, steam is created as
1
water in the food heats up and evaporates.
The steam formed during microwave cooking is
entirely safe. It has to escape from the
microwave to prevent pressure from building up
inside the oven. It does this through the vents
on the back of the microwave and from around
the door.

condensation

As the steam cools, you may find the
condensation gathers in small pools inside your
microwave and on the work surface beneath the
door and vents.
Always dry the microwave after cooking foods
with a high moisture content.
Your microwave is designed to let steam escape
from the vents and around the door without
microwave energy escaping. (Fig 1)
There is no danger of microwave energy
escaping with the steam.
