Steam coming from bottom front of APO

Anova Support

New owner here. I have steam pouring out of the bottom of the tank at the front of the oven. This is not a little steam; it’s a lot. It does this when the steam setting is either on or off.

It does not seem to be interfering with the cooking, but I am concerned it’s a sign there’s something wrong with the oven or with the way I have seated the tank in the base. I have had the oven just a couple of days.

Hi! Welcome to the community!

This is entirely normal. The bottom right of the oven is the steam escape. When you are cooking without steam, this is where the oven vents the additional moisture since you are seeking a dry environment. When you are using steam, the steam will escape as needed to normalize the pressure inside the oven so it doesn’t become an accidental pressure cooker!
