Vent for built-in oven

    We're moving from a freestanding cooker to a built-in double oven.

    Our cooker has a vent on the back (the manual says to leave this clear) for steam to exit, which is often visible coming out and condensing on the colder wall tiles behind. In fact, we have to pull the cooker out from time to time to clean the tiles below the back top edge as grime builds up behind.

    On build-in ovens, I don't see such a vent. So where does steam go when roasting? Obviously a rear vent would be no use, as there might not be space in the cabinet to allow for it to disperse, and you wouldn't be able to clean behind anyway.

    On most, but not all, the heat from the oven cavity is piped or leaks to just above the cavity where there is a cooling fan that then blowes the heat and vapour forward and out a thin grilled vent just above the oven/grill door.

    Yeah, I thought as much.
    I wonder why they're not doing that with freestanding stoves rather than persisting with making a mess of the back wall....?
