OPERATION – Generalv

The appliance is intended only for domestic use, not for professional use.

1. Stainless steel lid
2. Egg-rack
3. Housing

6. Egg piercer
7. On/Off-switch

OPERATION – Before use for the first time

1. Take the appliance out of the packaging.
2. Clean the appliance (see ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).

OPERATION – The use of the measuring cup

1. Choose the desired hardness of the eggs. The measuring cup contains three options: Soft, Medium, Hard.
2. Choose the number of eggs you want to boil. The measuring cup contains 7 levels per hardness option, one for each egg.

TIPS
For example, do you want 4 medium eggs? Please fill the measuring cup to level 4 at ‘medium‘.
Or do you want 3 hardboiled eggs? Please fill the measuring cup to level 3 at ‘hard’.

OPERATION – Boiling eggs
The egg boiler allows you to boil between 1 and 7 eggs at the same time. Whether the eggs are boiled
soft, medium or hard depends on the amount of water you add.

1. Use the measuring cup (5) to get the amount of cold water required.
2. Fill the boiling dish with water.
3. Pierce the rounded end of the eggs with the egg piercer (6), which you will find on the bottom of the measuring cup. This prevents the eggs from cracking.
4. Place the eggs with the rounded side in the egg-rack (2) and position it with the stainless steel lid (1) on top of it onto the egg boiler.
5. Connect the plug (4) to an earthed mains wall socket and switch the On/Off-switch (7) to “I”.
6. A buzzing tone signals when the eggs are ready.
7. Carefully remove the lid and remove the egg rack with the eggs from the appliance. Rinse the eggs with cold tap water. Switch to “0” and pull the plug.
8. Place the eggs in cold water to make them easier to peel.
9. You can serve the eggs now.

ATTENTION:

• The buzzer continues to sound until the on / off switch is set to position “0”. Always set the on / off switch to “0” after your eggs are ready.
• The egg piercer is sharp, make sure you do not injure yourself!
