this appliance for other than its intended use.
Do not use outdoors.

• Always use the appliance on a dry, level surface.

• Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas

or electric burner, or where it could touch a
heated oven.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table

or counter, touch hot surfaces or become knotted.

• Do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water

or any other liquid.

• Always turn off at the power point and remove cord

before attempting to move the appliance, when the

• Any maintenance other than cleaning should be

• The installation of a residual current device

Poaching/omelettes

For best results when poaching and making omelettes
use the 2 large steaming trays.

1. For 1 or 2 poached eggs/omelettes fill the
measuring beaker to the ‘medium number 1’
level. Pour water into the heating base.

2. Position the egg tray on the heating base.

3. Grease the steaming trays with butter
or margarine.

4. Break an egg into each of the 2 larger trays
(or pour in omelette mix) and place trays onto
the egg tray.

5. Place the lid on the Egg Creations and insert the
power plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet
and turn the power on. Press the ‘On/Off’ switch
to ‘On’. It will illuminate and the water will begin
to boil.

6. The buzzer will sound when the eggs are ready.
Press the ‘On/Off’ switch to ‘Off’. Turn the power
off at the outlet, and remove eggs/omelettes
from steaming trays.

Steaming vegetables

1. Fill the measuring beaker to the ‘medium
number 1’ level. Pour water into the
heating base.

2. Position the egg tray on the heating base.

3. Place vegetables into the steaming trays and
position the trays onto the egg tray.

4. Place the lid on the Egg Creations and insert the
power plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet

Operating your Breville Egg Creations

Boiling eggs

Up to 7 eggs can be boiled at one time.
Maximum egg size that can be used is 70 grams.

Note

1. For soft, medium or hard boiled eggs, fill the
measuring cup with cold tap water to the
desired level.

Fill the cup with water to the line along side
the number of eggs you are cooking.

(The number along side the measuring lines
indicates the number of eggs to be boiled).

Pour the water into the heating base.

Less water is used when cooking more eggs.
The amount of water used may have to be
adjusted to allow for variations in temperature
and size of eggs.

Note

2. Pierce the blunt end of the egg using the
piercing needle on the underside of the
measuring cup base. Piercing the egg prevents
the egg shell from cracking during boiling.

3. Place the egg tray onto the heating base and
position the eggs on the egg tray.

4. Place the lid on the Egg Creations and insert the
plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet and turn
the power on. Press the ‘On/Off’ switch to ‘On’.
It will illuminate and the water will be brought to
the boil.

Allow the Egg Creations to cool down for
approximately half an hour before reusing.

Note

5. The buzzer will sound when the eggs are ready.
Press the ‘On/Off’ switch to ‘Off’. Turn the
power off at the outlet, and remove eggs from
the egg tray.

Care and cleaning

1. Always turn the power off and remove the
plug from the power outlet before cleaning the
Egg Creations.

2. The lid, boiling tray, steaming trays and
measuring cup can be washed in hot
soapy water.

3. We do not recommend any parts of the Breville
Egg Creations be cleaned in a dishwasher, as the
hot water temperatures and harsh detergents
may cause parts to ultimately warp or discolour.

4. The egg cooker body can be wiped over with a
damp cloth.

5. Any chalk deposit on the heating base can be
removed by placing a cloth immersed in white
vinegar on the (cold) boiling plate and allowing it
to stand for 10 minutes.

Omelette

1 egg lightly beaten,
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 slice ham, finely chopped
1 small tomato, finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated cheese
