SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

Some appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit,
contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
For appliances equipped with a standard plug, simply insert the plug
into the outlet without paying attention to the way you plug it.

IMPORTANT

• The cooking time depends on the number and size of eggs.

• With respect to the content of mineral in the water of your region

you may see a slight decolourisation of the egg shell. This does
not affect the taste nor the quality of the egg.

USING YOUR EGG BOILER

HARD or SOFT BOILING

• Take the appliance out of the gift box. Clean the boiling dish with
a damp cloth.

• Put the egg boiler on an even surface.

• Choose the number of eggs that you want to cook. Use the

measuring cup for filling the boiling dish with cold water,
adapting the quantity of water to the type of cooking you need
(soft- to hard-boiled eggs), using the graduation on the
measuring cup or your own experience.

• Put the egg-rack onto the boiling dish.

• Pierce the largest rounded end of the eggs, with the egg piercer,

which you will find on the egg rack, and place the eggs onto the
egg rack. Using the egg piercer prevents the eggs from cracking
during boiling.

• Please be very careful when using the egg piercer as the needle
is very sharp.

• Place the lid on top of the egg boiler and connect the egg
boiler. The pilot light will switch on indicating the appliance is
heating.

• In order to avoid burning, keep your hands away from the steam
vent in the lid while the egg boiler is in use. Do not touch the
stainless steel lid as it might be hot too.

• When the eggs are ready, a buzzer sound will ring and the
appliance will switch off.

• Unplug the appliance as once the unit cools off, it will
automatically turn on again if the unit is still powered.

• Remove eggs immediately to prevent overcooking.

• Remove the lid using the handle. Take the egg rack and rinse the
eggs with cold water and let them cool down.

• If you use your appliance several times, let it cool down between
each use.

POACHING

Your egg boiler is supplied with a poaching tray. To use it:

• Place egg cooker on a clean, dry surface.

• Remove the lid and cooking tray.

• Fill beaker with cold water to the Medium line. Pour cold water

into heating plate.

• Lightly butter or spray vegetable oil on the poaching tray.

• Break one egg for each poaching section – cooks up to four

poached eggs.

• Place the cooking rack on the base and place the poaching tray
on the top of the cooking rack.

• Place the lid on top of unit

• Plug-in the appliance. The indicator light will be lit.

• When the liquid is sufficiently evaporated, the eggs will be

poached.

• When cooking is complete, a continuous audible buzzing tone
will sound and the appliance will switch off automatically.

• Unplug the appliance as once the unit cools off, it will
automatically turn on again if the unit is still powered.

• Remove the poached eggs immediately to prevent overcooking.

MEASURING THE WATER

• The measuring cup indicates three different water levels:
SOFT - MEDIUM – HARD

6



• If you want to cook 2 soft eggs fill the measuring cup up to the
number 2 of the “SOFT“ level and so on. This is valid for soft,
medium and hard eggs.

• Below is a table with the approximate amount of water
needed to achieve the cooking level you want:

It is recommended to use the included measuring cup.

Please reference the chart below should the special measuring
cup be misplaced. Water quantities are approximate.

SECURITY AND MAINTENANCE

• Please let the appliance cool down before cleaning and rinsing
it.
