Too hot

The hose on my SC500C is too hot to hold. Even wrapping a towel around the hose is no help. Any help would be appreciated or thoughts on what could be the problem and how to fix it. Thanks.

    Hoses on most if not all steam cleaners can get extremely hot and burn sensitive skin, you could try adding either a length of garden hose or pipe insulation to reduce the risk of burns or just try and ensure you do not come in contact with bare skin.
