Microwave Venting Problem
I recently purchased an entire Frigidaire Professional Series for my newly remodeled kitchen. When cooking or boiling water on either front burner (one being induction) steam rises onto the front of the microwave panel and door and covers my side cabinets and top two cabinets. The unit is installed according to guidelines and I even had a attic vent installed to see if that would remedy the problem. Three appliance service people have looked at the unit and the supplier even replaced it with a brand new one, same model. Bottom line: I can't cook on the front two burners as the microwave control panel and cabinet doors will be covered with dripping condensation which will eventually ruin them. Any suggestions?

To be honest, if the unit is not installed with at least 27-30" of space between the range and the microwave, you will have a lot of condensation. Actually, if you even install it higher than that, steam, especially when used on high or medium settings, will leave condensation on the microwave. This is normal. It will even get inside the microwave door and create a haze but will evaporate and go away over time.
