Wow, this is the world's most amazing stove. I can't believe the features, and you should taste my pot roast with carrots that were picked yesterday from the garden of one of the 25 richest women in America...designer carrots...
Anyway, why did I have a little puddle of condensation on the floor on the left size of my stove? I noticed when I opened the door there was condensation dribbling down from the door seal?? What did I do wrong?
Thanks,

Pokey,
Sorry! she's already taken, by a billionare husband. I'm not joking, this is for real.
Any ideas about the condensation?
Thanks,
~~~Joslyn
In the C-series Service Manual, Revised Edition (do you have one?), there is a section on what to do about condensation. If you don't have one, let me know, and I'll post the information here.
Todd, thank you! I don't have a C-series manual, I have a B, BZ series. I'd love to know what to do, and if you don't mind posting it here, I'd appreciate it very much.
Thanks,

Clutter-bug,
What the heck are "designer carrots"??
Condensation- when using the stove and/or the t-well and is it while cooking on retained heat??
Does Rich Woman have a even richer single brother-in-law for my hot looking widow Mom?? seriously!!

Berlyn,
Designer carrots? Well, due to client confidentiality, I ought to keep my mouth shut, but she's a famous clothing designer, so I call them designer carrots, plus, they are heirloom varieties. As to your Mom, well, I still think love is better than all the money in the world.
After 21 years, I still tell my husband I would be happy with him and living in a cardboard box
in the middle of the road if that's all we had...but then I wonder...well, money sure does smooth off life's rough edges, and buy parts for your Chambers, huh?
Wow, that meal was delicious! I am so impressed with Chambers stove, and the Lisk Roaster.
Condensation was on the oven, I did cook with the gas on, off, then on again, because it was my first time and I sure didn't feel very confident! I found it puddled on the kitchen floor on the left side of the stove, wiped it up, opened the door, and there was more condensation on the top of the oven door frame dribbling down, a little steam came out too. No big deal, I'm sure, but I hoped it was a simple adjustment and not a permanent problem
thanks,
Joslyn

From the C-series Service Manual, Revised Edition:
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT THE CAUSE AND CORRECTION OF CONDENSATION
There is an extreme temperature change in the Oven when the Burner is first lighted. As a result, drops of moisture will condense on the inside of the Oven and Door linings. Occasionally, moisture will be present on the two sides of the Oven Door, especially on the lower corners. This moisture may even run down and drop on the floor beneath the door.
There are several things that can be done to minimize this condition:
1. Leave the Oven Door ajar for three or four minutes after lighting the Oven. This will have a tendency to warm up the door and front.
2. Be sure that the height of the Oven Burner Flame does not exceed 3/4".
3. Be sure that the ?Idle Hour? Cookbook is followed for correct quantities of liquid to be used when cooking in the Oven.
4. Check the fit of the Oven Door, and, if necessary, adjust the four set screws in the cast Oven Front so that the door is properly fitted.
5. Always leave the Oven Door ajar when the Oven is not in use.
Hope this helps!
Todd, thank you very much for posting that. I hope your mom is doing ok, and I have been praying for her.
I think I may have had too much liquid, I definitely did not leave the oven door open in the first few minutes, I did not check the oven burner flame
HOW DO YOU ADJUST THAT?
and does everyone leave their oven door ajar when not in use? I would worry about it dislodging due to children and dogs running through the house, whacking the door and the door banging down and breaking. What does everyone think?
Thank you,
~~~Joslyn
The instructions for adjusting the Oven Burner are in the Service Manual...
