Baumatic oven leaks water

[Chris77]

Hi
I’ve just installed a brand new Baumatic double oven. When the main oven is on it drips condensation out the bottom of the door. When i open the door there is also water sitting on the seal.
Can this happen with ovens or could there be a fault with the oven? I know when cooking, steam will be produced but im always left with a puddle when the oven is on 😯

Hi Chris,

I can’t really think of a general reason other than the room being cold or what’s being cooked producing a lot of steam.

Apart from perhaps that the oven has been stored in cold conditions and the condensation is forming as it “dries out” if you see what I mean. If it’s that, running both ovens for an hour or so at about 150-200?C should sort it out.

Apart from that I’d give Baumatic a ring in case there’s something unique to the model that could cause it.

It seems to be everything thats cooked that causes the condensation 🙁 . The oven had been stored in the garage for 3 or 4 weeks prior to installation. I’ll try leaving it on to see if that does the trick.

Chris77 Hi

Whats the model number of the oven. There is a known problem on some models which causes the condensation you are experiencing.

Usually it happens on the triple glazed units.

If you let me have the model number I can check if its known to it. If it is, Baumatic will arrange a service call foc to replace the top door trims and vent holes in the rear of the cavity.
