SHORT CORD PURPOSE
NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product;
(2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.
POLARIZED PLUG
If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

HOW TO USE YOUR EGG COOKER

The times listed below are guidelines so that you will know how long it will take to cook the eggs. The thermostat in the Egg Cooker/Steamer will shut off automatically and a buzzer will sound when the eggs are done – no additional timer is necessary. The following time guidelines are for cold large eggs. Extra large or jumbo eggs may require additional water and time in the cooker to achieve desired results.

NOTES AND TIPS

• Refrigerate eggs until ready to use. Always use cold eggs – do not bring them to room temperature before using or the eggs will be slightly overcooked.
• To find out if your eggs are fresh, place them uncooked in a bowl of salted, cool water. If they sink, they are fresh. If they float, they are not.
• The recommended water levels are a guide, and water levels may need to be adjusted to achieve desired consistency.
• To make cleaning easier and avoid discoloration or mineral buildup on the cooking plate, we recommend spreading a few drops of cooking oil onto the cooking plate before each use. Note: Apply while the cooking plate is not heated or in use.

CLEANING THE HEATING PLATE
The stainless steel heating surface will not rust. After a few uses, there may be discoloration to the surface left behind my minerals in your water. It is NOT rust.

1. Remove any mineral deposits left behind from water by wiping the Plate with a paper towel moistened with one tablespoon of white vinegar.
2. You can also use a “magic-eraser” type scrubber and rub the Heating Plate in a circular motion with warm water.
   NOTE: If unit is not cleaned with white vinegar on a regular basis, minerals naturally occurring in water will build up causing discoloration of eggshells.
   However, this does not affect the taste of the eggs.
