Water measuring device
The water measuring device (1b) is integrated into the cover (1a). The cover with integrated water measuring device (1a) is made of high-quality Tritan® and is BPA-free. The water quantities specified on the water measuring device (1b) are guide values for one or two medium-sized eggs. Deviations can occur due to the size, storage time, and temperature of the eggs. The symbols for the different levels of hardness and the number of eggs are indicated on the water-measuring device.
If you are using larger eggs add a little more water, and for smaller eggs use a little less. If the eggs are too soft, add a little more water next time. If the eggs are too hard, use a little less water next time.
Measuring mug
As an alternative to the integrated water measuring device (1b), you can also use the measuring mug (1c) provided. This is located beneath the cover (1a) and you can simply remove it and then return it for storage. The symbols for the different levels of hardness and the number of eggs are indicated on the measuring mug.
- A range is specified for each level of hardness and number of eggs. For size S eggs only fill with water to the lower range. For size XL eggs fill to the top edge of the respective range.
- Deviations may occur due to the size, storage time and temperature of the eggs.
Egg piercer
To prevent the eggs from exploding during cooking, use the egg piercer (4) to
pierce the underside of the eggs. The egg piercer is attached to the egg
insert (3).
Starting up the appliance
-
Unwind the cable to the required length. You can wind the remaining non-required cable onto the base of the egg boiler. Place the appliance on a dry, slip-resistant and even horizontal surface. Make sure the appliance is not connected to the mains power supply.
-
Remove the cover (1a) with the integrated water measuring device. Always use the gripping surfaces (2) when handling the cover (1a).
-
Depending on the number of eggs (one or two) and the desired level of hardness, you now fill the the water measuring device (1b) with the required water quantity. Alternatively, you can use the measuring mug (1c) provided.
-
Pour the measured water quantity into the cold heating bowl (5). Make sure you do not fill the heating bowl (5) with more water than is specified for the desired preparation. Otherwise you risk overboiling the water.

Safety system
If the egg boiler is operated accidentally without water, a thermostat
switches the appliance off to protect it from overheating. You must allow the
egg boiler to cool down before you operate it again. Should the first
thermostat malfunction due to improper use, an additional temperature limiter
provides reliable protection.
Cleaning and care
Cleaning
Remove the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down. Do not immerse the
appliance in water, but rather clean it using a damp cloth with a little
washing-up liquid and then dry it. Do not use any harsh or abrasive cleaning
agents.
The heating bowl (5) is made of stainless steel. If rust spots do appear,
however, they are only deposits that have formed on the surface. You must
remove these immediately using a stainless steel cleaning agent. The egg
insert (3) and cover with integrated water measuring device (1a) are made of
high-quality Tritan® and can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Descaling
Limescale deposits lead to energy losses and have a negative effect on the
appliance service as well as the cooking results. The appliance switches off
prematurely if the layer of limescale is too thick. The limescale is then very
difficult to remove. Therefore descale the appliance regularly.
We recommend using Cromargol®. This product is highly effective, food-safe,
and neutral in taste and smell. Thanks to its special care formula with six
high-quality and protective additives, Cromargol® is also very gentle on
materials.
You can usually purchase Cromargol® from the store where you have purchased
your appliance or from your chosen dealer. The Cromargol® decalcifier is only
available in Germany and Austria.
- Prior to descaling, unplug the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool down.
- Pour half a portion (50 ml) of Cromargol® into the heating bowl (5) and leave the appliance to stand until the layer of limescale has detached from the base. Then fill the heating bowl (5) with cold tap water to cover the limescale ring on the wall and leave to stand for 15 minutes.
- Then pour out and thoroughly rinse with cold tap water.
- Measure out and use other descaling agents according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not heat the solution during descaling.
Caution: the warranty does not cover damage caused by not observing the
descaling instructions.
