No!
2. WHAt tYpE OF StEEL IS tHE UNIt MADE OF?
Stainless Steel
3. IS It NORMAL tO HAVE StEAM COME OUt tHE SIDES?
If there is steam coming out the sides and the button on top of the Lid is in the closed position, then the
Lid has not seated. This sometimes happens when the unit is new. If the gasket is in place try pushing
down on the Lid. This should seal the Lid and the steam should stop coming out. It is also important to
be sure the Float Valve is assembled correctly. Incorrect assembly may cause steam to come out the
sides or prevent pressure from building. The Float Valve should be able to move up and down freely only
stopping when the silicon gasket meets the Lid. It is however normal for condensation to appear in the
condensation collector. See illustration below for assembly.
