GREAT BRITISH DESIGN, INNOVATION
AND EXCELLENCE SINCE 1912
Since the turn of the 20th century, Tower has been designing,
developing and manufacturing housewares and small
appliances used by millions of households throughout the
UK and beyond. During the 1960s, the rise in popularity
of pressure cooking saw Tower become the UK’s largest
producer of pressure cookers, right through into the late
1980s. In recent years the Tower brand has been reborn with
an exciting and varied range of housewares and electrical
appliances that have quickly reinstated the brand’s richly
deserved status as a household name.

Boiling:
1. Fill the measuring cup to the desired level with cold water.
2. Pour the water on to the cooking plate.
3. Sit the egg rack on top.

the Egg Cooker will automatically switch off.

2. Pour the water onto the cooking plate and place the egg rack on top.
3. Lightly grease the poaching tray with butter or margarine.
4. Break 1 – 2 eggs into the poaching tray.

Omelette:

cheese, pepper or pre-cooked meats.
2. Grease the poaching tray using butter or margarine and pour omelette mixture
in.
3. Then follow the instructions for poaching eggs.
Approximate Cooking Times:
See table for approximate cooking times using the Egg Cooker.
Firmness Approx. Cooking Time
Soft 7 ½ minutes
Medium 8 ½ minutes
Hard 9 ½ minutes
Rest times:
Allow to cool for 30 minutes before reuse.
Note: Unplug the Egg Cooker to switch off. The On button is a resettable
thermostat that switches on when pressed once and resets itself after a cooking
cycle. Pressing the On button will not switch off the appliance.
Do not remove the lid during cooking as this reduces the temperature and will
affect the cooking result.
Tips:
• Use fresh eggs for best results.
• Allow eggs to reach room temperature before cooking.
• Eggs are best served immediately.
• If you are setting aside hard boiled eggs to eat later, run under cold water once
cooked and remove the shell straight away before storing.

10
Problem Solution
The eggs are
under or over
cooked.
Ensure you are filling the measuring cup to correct level for
the required amount of eggs.
The eggs may be larger or smaller than those used in the
cooking guide, or they may have been stored in the fridge.
For best results use medium eggs at room temperature.
The Multi-Function
Egg Cooker will
not switch on.
Check that the egg cooker is switched on at the mains.
Check that the On button has been pressed and the
indicator light is lit up.

If in doubt, consult a qualied electrician
who will be pleased to do this for you.
If you need to remove the plug - disconnect
it from the mains - then cut it off of the mains
