Default What Just Happened

First off I am a coffee newbie, but recently I bought a 3 cup moka pot. I have used it about 7-8 times now with no problems. However this morning a strange thing happened.

I put water in the bottom to just below the valve as I have every time. next i put coffee in the filter as instructed. Then I screwed the 2 parts together and did not over tighten as the instructions say. Then I placed it on the stove (gas) set at 5 (medium).

Well 20mins go by and no coffee, 5 more minutes and I hear a POP! I turn around and see the handle and black knob from the lid have melted off and landed on the stove.

Once it cooled down I took it apart and low and behold there was no water in the bottom and the grounds were stuck to everything inside.

What did I do wrong?
