HOW TO USE CONTINUED
To Operate Egg boiler:
1. Place the egg boiler upright on a dry, sturdy and flat surface.
2. Fill the provided measuring cup with cold water depending on the desired
hardness and the number of eggs, using the respective markings on the
cup. For example, if you want 4 medium boiled eggs, fill water cup to the line
that corresponds with the medium egg line and the number 4. Pour water
into the water tray.
3. Pierce the blunt end of the eggs with an egg piercer, as it prevents the eggs
from bursting or cracking during the cooking process.
4. Place eggs on the egg holder. Place the egg holder with the eggs on the
water tray and close the lid.
5. Plug into the wall outlet and turn on by pushing the ON/OFF switch. The
control light will illuminate.
6. When the eggs are ready, the buzzer will sound, and the light will turn off,
but the appliance will remain on until you manually switch it off.
7. If you plan to serve the eggs immediately, switch off the appliance. If you
want to keep the eggs warm, leave the appliance in on until you are ready to
serve them.
8. Remove the egg holder with the eggs from the water tray and hold them
under cold water to end the boiling process. Otherwise the eggs will
continue to boil and become harder. You may now serve the eggs.
9. After a short cool-down time of approximately 5 minutes, you may use the
egg boiler again.
10. Unplug the appliance after use.
Note: The markings on the water measuring cup apply to medium size eggs.
Depending on the size, number and freshness of the eggs, the results
may differ slightly.
Caution:
•Use extreme caution as the stainless steel lid becomes extremely hot.
Always use the handle to remove the lid.
•During use, the steam hole on the top of the lid gets very hot. Do not
touch or cover steam hole when in use.
