Excessive steam and hot water drip from the lid hinge area or side vents during normal cooking.

Safety first: Keep hands away from hot steam. Allow the unit to cool before disassembly.

• Check condensation collector: Ensure the rear condensation cup is installed and seated properly.
• Clean channels: Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to clear any channels leading from the lid to the collector.
• Inner lid check: Remove and reinstall the inner lid plate, ensuring it locks into place evenly.
• Gasket inspection: Pay special attention to the gasket area near the hinge; replace the gasket if it does not sit evenly.

Persistent leakage from the hinge area may indicate a warped lid and require replacement.
