Hot Alde breather valve

sunny70

New TAB 320S.  When using my Alde to heat water, I've noticed my brass breather valve on top of the boiler is extremely hot to the touch.   Is this normal operation?   I'm concerned as this part touches the bottom of the upholstered cushion.   Is this a safety concern?  Anyone else have this issue?   Dealer says don't worry about it.  Thank you in advance for your advice.

I've noticed the same warm spot on the cushion bottom and at first was concerned, then decided NuCamp / Pleasant Valley has been installing the Alde for several years and I trust them to have evaluated things like this . . . so I (for one) am going to Ignore It.
