IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/
or injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Use pot
holders when removing hot containers.
3. To protect against a risk of electrical shock, do not immerse
cord, plug, or base in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug
or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer
service number for information on examination, repair, or
adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by
the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or an electric burner, or
in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance
containing hot food, water, or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, turn unit off (O) and then remove plug from

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The
plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or
by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over
a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved
extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of
the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped
over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another highwattage appliance on the same circuit with your appliance.

How to Make Hard-, Medium-,
or Soft-Cooked Eggs
WARNING! Food Safety Hazard.
• Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk
of foodborne illness.
• For more information, refer to the U.S. FDA’s Food Facts
“Playing It Safe With Eggs” at
http://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/types/eggs/index.html
According to the FDA:
• Thorough cooking is perhaps the most important step in making
sure eggs are safe. Cook eggs until both the yolk and the white are
firm. Scrambled eggs should not be runny.
• Casseroles and other dishes containing eggs should be cooked to
160°F (72°C). Use a food thermometer to be sure.
• For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when
the dish is served, use either shell eggs that have been treated to
destroy Salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method,
or pasteurized egg products.

Choose the number of large eggs
you want to cook and locate type

NOTE: This product works best
for large eggs. Adjust amount of
water for other sizes of eggs.
NOTE: Never operate egg cooker

Pour water into center of water
reservoir. Always make sure that
center of reservoir is filled first
before outer ring.

Tips
• Buy only clean, refrigerated eggs. Always wash your hands, surfaces,
and any utensils that have come in contact with raw eggs.
• Check eggs for cracks before buying. Do not buy eggs with cracks
or slight cracks. Cracks let air into the egg which will cause spoilage.
• Do not purchase eggs after the sell-by date.
• Eggs should be stored in the carton they were purchased in. You
can keep eggs 3 weeks past the sell-by date.
• Store eggs in their carton on the lower or middle shelf in the
refrigerator at a temperature under 45°F (7°C).
• Only use cold eggs. Your eggs may be overcooked if they aren’t
cold from the refrigerator.
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
Eggs are overcooked.
Eggs are undercooked.
Eggs are slightly brown
on shell after cooking.
Eggs are difficult to peel.
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Have you used medium or small eggs? This product works best with large eggs. Follow water
recommendation for one less egg than what you are cooking.
• Did you add water to the center of the water reservoir? The cooking time is measured by water
evaporating from center first. Did you use extra large or jumbo eggs? This product works best with
large eggs.
• Different types of water may discolor egg shells. Eggs are safe to eat.
• Very fresh eggs can be difficult to peel. It is easiest to peel eggs that have been refrigerated
1 week to 10 days. To peel an egg, crackle the shell all over by gently tapping the egg on a table
or countertop. Roll the egg between your hands to loosen the shell. Then peel off the shell, starting
at the large end. Hold the egg under running water or dip it in water to make peeling easier.
• Eggs should be thrown out if left at room temperature longer than
2 hours, or 1 hour if warm weather.
• Rinse hard-cooked eggs with cold water or place in bowl of cold
water to stop the cooking process.
• Overcooked eggs will have a green ring around the cooked egg yolk.
• Quick check for fresh eggs: Place egg in bowl of water. If they rise,
they are not fresh. If they sink, they are fresh.
• Do not freeze hard-cooked eggs or cooked egg whites, since they
will weep and be tough to chew.
• Hard-cooked eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for 5 days.
• If you’d like to pierce your eggs before cooking, the water measuring
cup is equipped with an egg-piercing tool at the bottom of the cup.
Always clean the egg-piercing tool after each use.
