Before first use
Clean the water tray, the egg holder and lid
with a damp cloth.
How to use your egg boiler
- Fill the water tray with the required
amount of cold water, using the meas-
uring cup.
- The graduations on the measuring cup
correspond to the amount of water
required to obtain 1 to 6 soft, medium or
hard boiled eggs.
●The graduations are given for medium-
sized eggs. If the eggs are too soft, add a
little more water than indicated on the
cup, or less water if the eggs get too hard.
- Pierce the blunt end of the eggs with the
egg piercer (integrated in the measuring
cup).
- Put the eggs into the egg holder and close
the lid.
- Plug in the egg boiler. If your egg boiler is
provided with an on/off switch, turn it to
ON-position.
- A buzzer sounds when the eggs are
ready.
