- Allow the appliance to cool down
completely before you clean it and
tidy it away.
WARNING about material damage
• Place the appliance in such a way that
hot steam that exits from the top of the
lid can escape unhindered while the
eggs are boiling and does not land on
any other surfaces.
• Only use genuine accessories.
• The appliance is fitted with non-slip
silicone feet. As furniture is coated
with various varnishes and plastics
and may be treated with different
cleaning products, it cannot be
completely ruled out that some of
these substances contain components
which may attack and soften the
silicone feet. If necessary, place an
anti-slip mat under the appliance.
• Do not use any astringent or abrasive
cleaning agents.
• Do not place an open flame, for
example burning candles, on or
directly next to the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance in the open
air or near containers filled with water,
e.g. sinks.

2. Items supplied
• 1 x base unit
• 1 x egg tray
•1 x lid
• 1 x measuring beaker
• 1 x operating instructions
3. Preparing to use the
appliance
1. Check whether all accessories are
present and undamaged.
2. Clean all accessories as described in
these instructions.
3. Place the egg boiler on a dry, heat-
resistance, level and anti-slip surface.
4. Operation
You can use this egg boiler to boil up to 7
eggs simply and while saving energy to the
desired hardness. This egg boiler has an
electronic boiling time monitor. The hardness of the eggs is set using the hardness
controller 5 – irrespective of the amount of
water added.
Preparation
1. Use the measuring beaker 7 to fill
cold water into the heating bowl 3
until the marking (Max) is reached.
2. Place the egg tray 2 on the heating
bowl 3.
3. If possible, choose eggs of the same
size if you want to achieve the same
boiling results.
4. Use the piercing tool 8 (on the bottom
of the measuring beaker 7) to pierce
the desired number of eggs on the
blunt end so that they do not burst
during boiling.
5. Place the eggs in the egg tray 2 with
the pierced side facing up.
6. Put the lid 1 on the egg tray 2.
Set the hardness
TIP: Among other things, the boiling time
of eggs depends on their size, freshness
and temperature. Very large and very
fresh eggs need longer boiling times.
Small eggs and eggs that have reached
room temperature need shorter boiling
times.
• Set the stepless hardness controller 5
to the big egg symbol for the desired
egg hardness:
: Soft eggs
: Medium eggs
: Hard eggs
This setting is a guide value for 7
eggs.
• Select a setting to the left of the egg
symbol (= shorter boiling time),
- If you are boiling just a few eggs,
- If you are boiling very small eggs,
• Select a setting to the right of the egg
symbol (= longer boiling time),
- If you are boiling very large eggs,
- If you are boiling very fresh eggs,
TIP: Try out the various settings. After just
a very short time you will develop a feeling
for your perfect boiled egg.
Boiling Process
DANGER: During and after the
boiling process there is a risk of
scalding/burning from hot water,
steam and hot appliance surfaces!
Therefore remember the following:
- Do not move the appliance while it
contains hot water.
- Avoid the area above the appliance.
Hot steam escapes from the opening
in the lid 1.

- Do not touch the hot surfaces on the
appliance (e.g. the lid). Only hold the
hot lid 1 and the egg tray 2 by the handles.
- Do not remove the lid 1 while the eggs
are boiling. Open the lid with great
caution only after the signal sound (if
necessary, using a towel) because hot
steam will escape.
- Since the handle of the egg tray 2 gets
hot, use a towel or oven gloves to
remove it.
1. Insert the power plug in an easily
accessible socket with earthing
contacts.
2. Switch the appliance on by setting the
on/off switch 6 to I. The red pilot lamp
6 indicates that the appliance is
heating up.
3. The water is now boiling and the eggs
are boiled. The end of the boiling time
is indicated by a signal tone. Now
switch the appliance off by setting the
on/off switch 6 to 0.
4. Carefully remove the lid 1 from the
appliance using the handl. Place the
lid on a heat-resistant surface
because it is very hot.
5. Use the handl to remove the egg tray
2 and run the eggs under cold water
to cool them.
After boiling
DANGER: Disconnect the power
plug from the wall socket every
time you have boiled eggs.
5. Preparing eggs with
various hardness
levels at the same time
You can use this egg boiler to prepare
eggs with various levels of hardness at the
same time.
1. Prepare all eggs as usual.
2. First of all, prepare all eggs with the
hardness setting for the softest eggs.
3. When the signal indicates the end of
the boiling time, switch the appliance
off, carefully remove the lid 1, remove
the eggs that should not boil any
further and cool them with cold water.
4. The rest of the eggs remain in the egg
boiler.
5. Put the lid 1 back on.
6. Use the hardness controller 5 to set
the desired subsequent boiling time
for the remaining eggs. The small
egg symbols roughly correspond to
the following subsequent boiling times:
: Difference between soft and
medium or medium and hard
: Difference between soft and hard
TIP: Here, too, there are deviations
resulting from varying numbers and
sizes of eggs. Adjust the setting
accordingly.
7. Switch the appliance on again.
8. When the signal indicates the end of
the boiling time, switch the appliance
off, carefully remove the lid 1, remove
the remaining eggs and cool them
with cold water.
• Leave the appliance to cool down,
before you ...

beaker
• Wash the lid 1, egg tray 2 and
measuring beaker 7 by hand.
• Leave all parts to dry completely
before you tidy them away.
Descaling the heating bowl
After some time, limescale will be deposited in the heating bowl 3 of the egg boiler
as a result of the boiling process. It should
be removed at regular intervals, otherwise
the power consumption of the appliance
will increase.
1. Fill a measuring beaker 7 of
household vinegar (approx. 6 per
cent) into the heating bowl 3.
TIP: Do not heat the vinegar in the
heating bowl.
2. After leaving for half an hour, pour the
vinegar away and remove any
remaining scale with a sponge.
3. If there is any stubborn remaining
limescale, repeat this process.
