Functions

BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all promotional labels and any packaging materials from the egg cooker. Ensure that you have all parts and accessories listed in the components list before discarding
the packaging.

1. Place the egg cooker on a dry, flat, heat-resistant surface.
2.  Remove the lid, egg rack, and poaching tray. Wash and dry before and after each use. Follow the instructions found in the Care, Cleaning & Storage section in this book.

IMPORTANT

When boiling eggs, always add the egg rack with eggs inserted into the heating vessel first, then the water. For poaching, add the water first, then the egg rack/tray.

WARNING
Only use clean tap water in the egg cooker’s heating vessel.

BOILING EGGS

1.  Place the eggs to be boiled in the egg rack. NOTE
   Up to 4 eggs can be boiled at one time. For each egg, the suggested maximum size is 70 grams. Position the eggs with the narrow end facing down for better cooking results. Eggshells do not need to be pierced for cooking.

2. Position the egg rack above the egg cooker, ensuring the egg rack handles are aligned with the recess on the egg cooker housing rim.

3.  Lower the egg rack into the egg cooker using the egg rack handles provided.

4. Slowly pour water into the heating vessel and fill to the BOIL line marking and replace the lid on top.
   NOTE
   When boiling, always add the eggs to the vessel before adding the water to ensure correct water levels.

5. Connect the power cord to the power cord connection point found on the back of the egg cooker. Connect the power plug into a 230V or 240V power outlet and switch
   it on at the power outlet. The egg cooker will beep to indicate it is in standby mode. All lights on the unit will illuminate for a few seconds before the light for HARD
   illuminates only.
   NOTE
   For first use, the light beside HARD will illuminate. Each subsequent use will have the corresponding light illuminate with the last function used.

6. Press the SELECT button to cycle through the available functions. The light corresponding with the chosen function will illuminate to indicate the selection.

7. Press START/CANCEL to begin the function. The light will begin to flash slowly to indicate that the egg cooker has begun to heat. Refer to the Approximate Cooking
   Times table in this book for cooking times.
   WARNING
   Avoid unnecessary removal of the lid and egg rack/tray during cooking, as heat surrounding the egg will escape.

8.  To turn the egg cooker off at any time during cooking, press the START/CANCEL button.

9. When cooking is finished, the buzzer will sound for one minute to indicate that the function is complete and the unit will switch automatically to stand-by mode. Before
   opening the lid, switch off at the power outlet.

10. Use oven mitts to carefully lift and remove the lid from the egg cooker. Tilt the lid away from the body to help safely redirect any escaping steam.
    WARNING
    Always take care when lifting and removing the lid and egg rack/tray as escaping steam and hot water can cause burns.

    11. Remove the egg rack from the egg cooker using oven mitts and the egg rack handles.
    12. Use oven mitts to gently remove the boiled eggs from the egg rack. TIP
    Always store uncooked eggs on their narrow end to keep the yolk centered and the air sac intact. This helps the eggs stay fresh for longer.

APPROXIMATE COOKING TIMES

^Actual times may vary depending on the temperature of initial water and eggs and also the number of eggs cooked.

NOTE
For a firmer result, leave the eggs sitting in the water in the heating vessel for an additional 1-2 minutes after the initial cooking time has elapsed.

POACHING EGGS

1.  Slowly fill with water into the heating vessel up to the poach line (190ml).
   IMPORTANT
   For poaching, always add the water to the heating vessel first before lowering the egg rack/tray.

2.  Lightly grease the poaching tray with baking spray, butter, or oil. Gently break eggs into the cooking wells in the poaching tray, ensuring the yolk remains intact.

3. Gently place the poaching tray on the egg rack, ensuring the grooves on either end of the poaching tray fit on the inside of the egg rack handles.
   

4. Position the egg rack/tray assembly above the cooker and ensure the egg rack handles are aligned with the recesses on the egg cooker housing rim.

5. Lower the egg rack/tray assembly into the egg cooker using the egg rack handles provided. Ensure the egg rack handles are fitted into the recesses on the egg cooker housing and replace the lid on top.
