Is the glass door suppose to steam up each time the oven is used?

Very little steam on the glass door. from what I've witnessed. Usually just dissipates quickly.

My glass door steams up almost every time that I use the oven. I find that I am further ahead just ignoring the steam on the glass, as it eventually disappears. If I open the door to wipe the glass, I lose some of the heat and it takes that much longer to heat the oven back up.

Sometimes it does steam up when we cook with it. It depends on the moisture content of what is being cooked. I have opened and wiped the window off when it got bad enough to block the sun.

If you are cooking something with high moisture content, it will tend to steam. If you open the door and wipe it off, you will lose some heat, so it is better to just leave it to cook. I wipe it off when the cooking is done, if there is any left.

My husband made a door for our stove. The door enables the stove to keep a higher heat temp.which helps in the cooking of pizza.

I haven't found that steam builds up. When I use the cover, I still get good browning on my food, however, for the pan I use, this is a little large, so it doesn't fit tight to the pan. I guess if it was tight, it could possibly build steam.

I have our CSO-300 underneath the wood paneling of our cabinetry (although there is open space around it). The top of the oven does get warm to the touch but I have had no damage from either the high heat or the steam option to date. Our countertops are concrete and that is what it is sitting on. I have noticed some water drops on the countertop from the steam option. I just make sure every time I use that option to check underneath the drip tray and wipe if need be.

No, the rack(s) are loose in the oven and are not connected to the door opening/closing. I like the machine except for 2 small issues - 1 , buttons are a little firm to push, and 2- the loose rack is a little too loose when you pull it out of the oven (esp. if rack has heavier food and rack is pulled most of way out- can drop down). I like this product much better than the toaster oven it replaced - much more even toasting, tho not perfect.

Yes, the glass lid has a small vent hole to help keep lid from steaming up.

Yes, it does! That's my main complaint... The door is especially hot and will burn your hand if you aren't real careful. Also, it doesn't cook evenly, and pizza has to be turned around halfway through cooking. My very old Oster oven doesn't have those problems.

No, my model doesn't. However, I have never found it to be a problem. The top of the oven if sufficiently above the rack that it is not difficult to slide an item out onto a plate using a knife or other implement.

The oven is very well insulated so the short answer is no. In fact, the oven stays warm inside for a very long time after it is shut-off. NOTE: Any appliance that generates heat will warm up the area around it but this oven is small and well-insulated so the impact is negligible.

Yes. I believe it is condensation from the lid. I didn't realize that there was water in the heating element area until I had water on my counter top. If you have a solution, let me know.

I haven't found it to be a problem. You have to be careful to close the oven door so as not to break or bend the wire.

I just got mine a couple weeks ago and have used it 3 times. I do see and hear the steam when using it, it sounds like something might be wrong with yours.

There's a fan that blows hot air out from behind the center burner when the oven is on. The fan is only on when the oven is on. So yeah, seems like you're going to have the same problem.

I've used my oven about a dozen times and have not had to clean it so far. One of the first things I baked was chicken with mushroom soup and sour cream. I've had my oven for about 3 mouths and have used it mostly for baking biscuits. The only negative I have found is that it does not have a light so that you can tell if your are over baking in it. Other than that I really like this oven as it is very nice looking and does do a good job on what I have used it for.

No, the oven does not turn off when you open the door. I've had mine for over a year and am really satisfied with it. Everything on it works well. The exterior surfaces get very warm when you are using it, but it's a plus for me because I use the top to heat my dishes, nothing is worse then putting hot food on a cold plate.
