2. Items supplied

1 base unit 4 1 egg tray 2 1 lid 1 1 measuring beaker 7 1 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.

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

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.

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 cau-

__RP61661_B6.book Seite 6 Montag, 29. November 2010 9:48 09

tion 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.

• Leave the appliance to cool down, before you ... … pour away any water left, … pour in new water, … clean the appliance, … tidy away the appliance.

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.

6. Cleaning

DANGER! Pull the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning the egg boiler.

• Leave the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

• The egg piercing tool 8 on the measuring beaker 7 is sharp. Use it cautiously.

CAUTION!

• To avoid damage to the appliance, the base unit 4 of the egg boiler must not be immersed in water or other liquids.

• Do not use any astringent or abrasive cleaning agents.

Base unit

If necessary, wipe the base unit 4 and the power cord with a slightly damp cloth.

Lid, egg tray and measuring 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.

7. Storage

DANGER! Keep the egg boiler and the measuring beaker 7 with the sharp egg piercing tool 8 out of the reach of children.

• Wind the cord in the base of the unit.

8. Disposal
