Did this resolve the issue?

It is normal for condensation and steam to build up in the oven during and after cooking especially with food which has a high water content (e.g., chicken or frozen chips).

Pre-heating the oven before placing food into the oven can help reduce the amount of condensation being produced.



Did this resolve the issue?

Refrain from leaving food in the oven to cool down after being cooked.

This will minimise steam and condensation being produced.
