Steam and moisture escaping excessively from around the door or hood during operation.

Safety first: Beware of hot steam when inspecting the machine during operation. Use heat-resistant gloves.

• Inspect door/hood gasket: Check for gaps or damage and replace if necessary.
• Check hood alignment: On hood-type Hoonved models, ensure the hood closes evenly and that counterbalance springs are correctly adjusted.
• Clean condenser/vent: If the machine has a steam condenser, clean its filters and ensure the exhaust path is not blocked.
• Verify boiler temperature: Confirm that boiler temperature is not set excessively high. Adjust to manufacturer recommendations.
