Excessive steam escaping from sides or top of the coffee maker during brewing.

Safety first: Keep hands and face away from escaping steam to avoid burns. Unplug and cool before inspection.

• 1. Check fill level: Do not exceed the maximum fill line on the reservoir.
• 2. Inspect lid gasket: Examine the rubber gasket around the lid or brew head. Replace if cracked, hardened, or deformed.
• 3. Clear steam vent: Locate the steam vent openings and clear any blockages with a toothpick or soft brush.
• 4. Ensure lid closes fully: Adjust or replace the lid if it does not latch securely.
