I'm worried that the position of the steam vent may cause moisture runoff straight onto the control panel, does this ever happen?

Yes, I think this is why mine started displaying random segments of the LED, then randomly failing to start cooking rice.

That's never happened to me- There's a moisture runoff at the back of it- a little clear plastic thing that catches any water.

I've never had an issue unless it's really humid. No damage when removed if you follow the directions.

seems to be a problem with some of these units. mine will do that every once an awhile right now it is not doing that . I think it has something to do with moisture in the unit and temperature

Same thing happen to me. You can not use this machine in this conditions, you can burn your face. My steam machine is sitting in my basement. You need to call the company to see if they can replace the item or refund your money.

I don't know. I've never experienced boiler alert conditions. Check yahoo answer sights.

it will smoke through the vent...which is the stuff and moisture you are burning off which comes out of the ac system

I have not had that issue. I assure when the computer is plugged in that it is on a surface that allows good ventilation.

Up in the Seattle area I sometimes have to drain it. I believe it is related to humidity, although I'm not sure that it might also be related to having the fan run at a variable speed. I don't see why the fan speed would matter, but I have noticed a correlation.

Make sure your lid is seatedThat will help with the sputtering. The steam will have to come out the center hole.

Most likely the problem is a clog in the condensate line. These units have a reputation for this, although I've got three of them and haven't had the problem. If you take off the left side panel you'll see the coils and where the water drips down into a drip tray. There's a fairly small hole in this tray where the water is carried down into the system, get's evaporated, and is exhausted with the hot air through the window. This small drain hole is likely clogged and you'll have to clean it with a small brush. I believe others have posted more detailed instructions for this, and there may be instructions on DeLonghi's website as well. I do know that I vacuum my units regularly, both the filter and at the side vents, but at the end of the season I take them apart and clean them thoroughly and I've found an enormous amount of dirt and, in my case, dog hair, stuck in the coils. Cleaning this out helps to prevent the problem and also greatly improves it's cooling capacity. I hope this helps!

I havent had that problem so far at least. There is a big vent on the left side and little ones on the bottom (covering the fan etc I believe). I don't know if this will let me upload a picture. I turn this off a lot more than I did my pc though, just because it starts again pretty instantly.

I've not had a problem...as others have said, be certain that fan has area free for air flow.

No, never. Not on top or underneath. It doesn't get condensation or anything on it. :)On the side I have no idea. It's sealed, so even if it did it wouldn't be a problem. We filled ours with distiller water to prevent anything like that.

Absolutely no, but it's very easy to avoid the water coming in, I just cover the vent with duck tape and problem solved!

I have not found moisture to be a problem at all, but we live in a fairly dry climate. We actually have a humidifier on our furnace. You probably don't need a dehumidifier. I am very satisfied with this product!

I haven't experienced this. Is the water level getting low or have you noticed that the "Steam Ready" indicator light is off (meaning that you have used up the available steam and must wait for the unit to build up steam) ? Other than that, I can't think of a reason for the situation you describe.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly. I've had this issue and cap was not on correctly which did not allow for steam buildup.
