• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near young children. Do
not let young children play with any parts of the appliance. The appliance is not
intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision.

• Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Take
care that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord, especially when young
children are near. For storage always keep the entire appliance dry and clean and
where young children cannot reach it. Do not place any hard and/or heavy objects
on the appliance or any part of it.

• Always place the appliance on a stable, even, dry and sufficiently large surface. Do
not place the appliance near the edge of the table or counter. Do not place any cloth
or tissue beneath the appliance to avoid any risk of fire and electric shock. Always
keep the table or counter clean and dry and immediately wipe off spilled liquids.

• During operation keep the appliance in an appropriate distance of at least 20 cm
on each side to furniture, walls, boards, curtains and other objects. Keep at least
1 m of free space above the appliance. Do not operate the appliance near any
heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive materials or under boards to avoid damage caused

amount of water is filled on the heating plate. Do not operate the appliance without
water. Do not overfill the heating plate.

• Do not move or tilt the appliance during operation to avoid overflowing of boiling
water. Immediately switch off and unplug the appliance, if water leaks out of the
eggboiler during operation.

• This appliance is for household use only and NOT intended for use in moving vehicles
or outdoors.

Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances

Care must be taken when using any electrical appliance. Please adhere to the following
precautions.

• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage
requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC). Always connect the appliance
directly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground)
connected properly. The installation of a current safety switch with a maximum rated
operating of 30 mA in the electrical circuit is recommended. If in doubt, contact your
electrician for further information.

• Do not use any extension cord or multiple socket to avoid risk of fire or electric shock.

• The appliance is designed for partly unattended operation. You will hear a loud
acoustic signal when the eggs or vegetables are boiled. Always switch off the appliance
and unplug from the power outlet when not in use and before moving or cleaning the appliance.

• Always handle the power cord with care. The power cord may never be knotted, twisted
or squeezed. Do not pull or strain the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect
the power cord from the power outlet. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge
of the table or counter. Take care not to entangle in the power cord.

• Always grab hold of the steamer base for moving the appliance.

• Do not immerse the steamer base or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not
spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the steamer base. Never
place the steamer base or power cord in an automatic dishwasher or under a tap.
When liquids are spilled on the exterior of the steamer base, immediately switch
´OFF` and unplug the appliance and dry it.

Hot Surfaces – Risk of Burns

The Gastroback Design Eggboiler is designed for cooking and poaching eggs, making
omelettes and steaming vegetables and, therefore, the exterior of the Design Eggboiler
will get hot during operation. In addition, there is one steam vent in the lid. Beware of
steam and hot condensate during operation and even some minutes after switching off
the appliance, especially when removing the egg tray and/or the lid.

18

• Do not touch hot surfaces (steamer base, steamer trays, egg tray and lid) while the
appliance is in use or shortly after use. Always grab hold of the steamer base for
moving and operating the appliance and lifting the lid and steamer trays.
Additionally, we recommend to use a panholder or ovenglove for removing the lid
and/or steamer trays. The steamer base, steamer trays and lid are still hot, even
some minutes after switching off. Do not touch any heat-sensitive objects with the hot
lid or steamer trays. Do not place any heat-sensitive objects in or on the steamer.

• Before assembling, always ensure that there are no objects on the heating base.

• Close supervision is important, when moving any parts of the appliance (i.e. egg try,
steamer trays or lid) during operation or immediately after switching off. Do not move
or tilt the steamer base during operation or when it is still hot, to avoid boiling water spilling
from the heating base, causing injuries of persons or damage. Always unplug the
appliance and let it cool down to room temperature before moving it.

• For operation place the appliance on a dry, stable, heat-resistant and water-resistant, even
surface (i.e. glass, ceramics, stone). The appliance or any parts of it may never touch hot
surfaces. Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces, (i.e. burner, heater
or oven). Never place the appliance on any power line cord to avoid fire and electrical shock.

• Before use ensure that the appliance is completely and properly assembled, the egg tray
does not tilt or wobble, and that there is a sufficient amount of water on the heating base.

• Always keep the lid in place during operation. Otherwise power consumption increases
significantly and the foods will not be cooked sufficiently. Ensure all persons stay in
sufficient distance to the appliance during operation.

• There is one steam vent in the lid. Especially when removing the lid during operation
or immediately after switching off, always keep your hands and arm as well as any
clothing and other objects away from the steam vents to avoid scalds and damage.

• Do not place any heat-sensitive objects near the appliance during operation to avoid
damage caused by heat, condensate and splashes.

Maintenance of Plastic Surfaces

Any plastic parts coming in contact with foods, are manufactured of high-grade
heat-resistant plastics. Do not use the appliance with any cracks or distortions of the plastic
parts. Replace any damaged parts by using the recommended original spare parts.

• Do not use metal utensils or other hard and sharp objects with the eggboiler to avoid
scratching the plastic surfaces. Only use wooden or plastic utensils to stir and serve
the food. Never use hard and sharp utensils to cut or scratch in the eggboiler.

• Never use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or any sharp objects (i.e. metal scouring
pads) for cleaning. Carefully clean the appliance with a damped sponge or tissue
and warm washing-up liquid. Steamer baskets, lid and measuring cup may be cleaned
in an automatic dishwasher.
