The hardness of the boiled eggs depends on different factors: size and temperature of the eggs. With some experience you will quickly find your preferred settings.

| NOTE:
If the eggs are too hard, please pour slightly less water than stated in the cooking bowl, or slightly more if the eggs are too soft.

Using the Omelette/Poaching Insert

Determine the amount of water according to the scale labeled .
Slightly grease the recesses with butter or margarine to be able to remove the boiled egg more easily.
Do not fill in more than one cracked egg per recess.

Always let the savoury egg custard cool down before cutting it into cubes.

Ensure that your mains power corresponds to the appliance’s specifications on the type label.

Operation

Set the on/off switch to the “0” (off) position.
