Steam or hot water escapes from the top or sides of the coffee maker during brewing.

Safety first: Steam can cause serious burns. Do not place your face or hands near vents during brewing. Unplug and allow to cool before inspection.

• 1. Avoid overfilling
  • Fill only to the MAX line on the reservoir.
• 2. Clean vents
  • Inspect the top cover for steam vents and ensure they are not blocked by dust or grease.
  • Clean gently with a soft brush.
• 3. Check lid gasket
  • Open the top lid and inspect any rubber gasket around the brew chamber.
  • If cracked or deformed, replace the gasket or lid assembly.
• 4. Inspect for warping
  • If the top cover is warped from heat, it may not seal properly and should be replaced.
