How to protect furniture from steam?

I bought the first multicooker, and I didn't expect that steam is coming out of the valve quite intensively. I wanted to put it on the kitchen set, and there are hanging shelves on top. Apparently this is harmful to furniture. What to do, everyone is experienced here, how do you get out of the situation? I read that there are protective films for furniture, maybe stick something like that?

What to do

Put under the hood, if there is one in the kitchen.

But hanging shelves do not hang over the entire worktop. Put the cartoon closer to the edge, that's how I put it. Steam rises without touching the furniture from above.

The hood over the stove .. I am already considering the option of transferring it to the stove when I cook. It doesn't really help to push it forward, anyway steam gets on the doors then outside.

And it also happens that the hostess prescribes a slow cooker on the stove. And he removes it, only to sometimes cook something on the stove itself.
I have a small slow cooker for porridge and a large one for everything else, they stand under the hood on the stove, taking up 2 rear burners. The front burner in front of the small cartoon can be used without moving anything from the stove. But if I fry something, I shift the multicooker so as not to splatter. And so - they always stand on the stove.

And it also happens that the hostess prescribes a slow cooker on the stove. And he removes it, only to sometimes cook something on the stove itself.

Just my case! I bought two large cutting boards (about 55x30 cm), put them on the stove, heat-resistant napkins on top, multicooker on them. If you need a stove, it's not a problem to remove one board with a multicooker for a while. But hot steam goes to the hood, and not to the shelves of the kitchen set.

I sometimes put a cartoon on the dining table when I cook at MV. (What to do, you have to dodge)

I was lucky - the washing machine did not fit into the bath and is in the kitchen. So, a bread maker with a slow cooker lives on it. On a wooden lattice.
Mom has a kettle and a cartoon on a freestanding bedside table - I specially allocated one for this when ordering a kitchen so that there is nothing above it,
A cartoon friend has a wide window sill.
In general, you have to think, what if there is an opportunity to organize a small piece of the surface for multi, so that nothing hangs over it?
But the option when it is pushed forward (or sideways) is also worth considering, because the main condition is that the cartoon is at hand and it is convenient to use it at any time. With any gadget: if it's in plain sight, we don't part with it, as soon as out of sight - we forget and cook in a different way. Maybe come up with a hinged shelf for her?

The ferry ahead - it just flies on the facades and condenses.

In general, not all multis are equally soaring. I have Shteba standing under the lockers, just pushed forward. I never forcibly play off, and when she herself does it very delicately. For this I love and respect Shteba.
But the Element is only on the plate. The cooker is induction, so I also put a thick board on every fireman. And as soon as he warns "now there will be steam release" I run the hood to turn on.

Thanks for the advice, while I’ll probably put it on the stove, in any case, it stands next to the table, it seems convenient, although in the future we will think about reworking the kitchen)) repairs are just around the corner. I do not have a pressure cooker, but a slow cooker, but steam is still coming out of it quite intensively, so much so. Well, I’ll probably look for some kind of protective film for furniture.
