SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SHORT CORD PURPOSE
NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used
if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.
POLARIZED PLUG
If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other),
please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with
an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not
alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

BEFORE FIRST USE
AUTO SHUT-OFFTIMER
The Elite Gourmet Egg Cooker is designed with a thermal sensor that detects
when water has fully evaporated from the Heating Plate, signaling it to shut off
automatically for perfectly cooked eggs and for the beep alert to sound.
NOTE: Avoid unplugging the Egg Cooker in the middle of the cooking cycle. If
doing so, the Egg Cooker will not shut off completely and will turn back on
when the unit is plugged back in next. However the thermal sensor will detect
no water on the Heating Plate and will automatically shut off within 30-seconds.
1. Rinse all removable parts in hot, soapy water. DO NOT submerge body in
any liquids. Base can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Please refer to the
Cleaning Instructions for more information.
2. Place Poaching Tray, Measuring Cup, Omelet Tray, Lid and Egg Cooking Rack
next to the unit.
COOKING EGGS
The cooking times listed below are guidelines on how long to cook eggs for
desired doneness. The thermal sensor in the Egg Cooker will automatically shut
off when the water has completely evaporated and the eggs are done.
The Time Chart provided is for Medium to Large eggs. Jumbo or XL eggs will
require additional water and time for the Egg Cooker to achieve the desired
cooking results.
For firmer Medium Eggs, allow the eggs to sit covered in the Egg Cooker for an
additional 2-3 minutes before removing them.
For extra-firm hard boiled eggs, leave the eggs covered in the Egg Cooker for a
few more minutes after the beep alert goes off.

HOWTO USEYOUR EGG COOKER
SOFT, MEDIUM AND HARD-BOILED EGGS:
1. Be sure the Egg Cooker is switched OFF before
plugging into power. Remove Lid.
2. Fill the Measuring Cup to the appropriate line with
cold water and pour onto Heating Plate. (Fig. 1)
TIP: For best results, use distilled water - tap water
contains minerals that can cause Heating Plate to discolor.
3. Place the Egg Cooking Rack over the Heating Plate.
The side handles should be facing upward. (Fig. 2)
Optional: If the boiled eggs are erupting during cooking,
pierce the larger end of each egg using the Piercing Pin
on the bottom of the Measuring Cup. (Fig. 3)
4. Place an egg in each allotted spot on the Egg Cooking
Rack.
5. Make sure the holes pierced in the eggs are pointing
upwards. Do not let the eggs touch the Heating Plate.
6. Place Lid on top of the unit and push the POWER
Button to turn ON. Indicator Light will illuminate. (Fig. 4)
7. When the Egg Cooker beeps, the eggs will be cooked.
Actual cooking time depends on number of eggs and
desired doneness (See Cooking Time Chart on p.5).
(Fig. 5)
8. When cooking is complete, the power and Indicator
Light will both turn off. (Fig. 6)
9. Remove eggs immediately and rinse under cold water
to prevent overcooking and make egg peeling easier.
NOTES AND TIPS
#1
Refrigerate eggs until ready to use.Always use cold
eggs –do not bring them to room temperature
before using or the eggs will be slightly
overcooked.
#2
To find out if your eggs are fresh, place them in a
bowl of salted, cool water. If they sink, they are
fresh. If they float, they are not.
#3
The recommended water levels are a guide, and
water levels may need to be adjusted to achieve
desired consistency.

discoloration to the surface left behind by minerals in your water. It is NOT
rust.

with a paper towel moistened with one tablespoon of white vinegar.
2. You can also use a “magic-eraser type scrubber and rub the Heating Plate

minerals naturally occurring in water will build up causing
discoloration of eggshells. However, this does not affect the taste of
the eggs.
