This is the answer to the question Mold problem in the new kitchen – how to prevent it in the future?
Revision 1
The first approach is to follow the manufacturer's recommended spacing, which is usually at least 5 cm.
If this is not enough, you can also increase the surface temperature of the wall with a capillary-active insulating material and thus reduce condensation.
Be careful, the dew point in this case always shifts to the unfavorable side, so try to do without internal insulation.
An additional fan can even draw moisture from outside to inside because the insulation material has capillary activity in both directions.
Too thick interior insulation has exactly this effect, so it is usually recommended that no more than 5 cm of insulation thickness be unchecked.
