3. USE OF THE APPLIANCE

A. ASSEMBLY
1. Rinse the lid, the poaching tray and the cooking rack in hot
soapy water or in the dishwasher (top rack only).
DO NOT IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUID. The appliance should be cleaned with a
sponge or a damp cloth. For further information see
heading "Cleaning and Maintenance".
2. Place the poaching dish, measuring beaker and the small
egg holders next to the appliance.
NOTE! The needle at the bottom of the measuring beaker is
extremely sharp. It is protected by a small plastic cover
which can be replaced after use.
3. Place the cooking rack for boiled eggs on the appliance.
4. Place the lid over the cooking rack.
5. Plug in to the mains. Your egg cooker is now assembled
ready for use.
B. OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
The cooking rack can hold:
• From 1 to 7 soft-boiled eggs
• From 1 to 7 medium-boiled eggs
• From 1 to 7 hard-boiled eggs
1. Remove the lid of the egg cooker.
2. Using the measuring beaker, choose the consistency of the
eggs you prefer and the number of eggs you want to cook
(see table of cooking times below). Fill with cold water to
the line indicated. For best results, use distilled water;
normal tap water contains minerals which can cause the
eggs to become discoloured.
3. Pour the cold water into the heating tray.
4. Place the cooking rack into the base.
5. Rinse the quantity of eggs required. You can cook up to
seven eggs at any one time.
6. Using the piercing needle that you will find in the bottom of
the measuring beaker, pierce the top of each egg and place
them in the cooking rack. Rinse the pin after use.
7. Place the lid over the appliance and put switch into the
"ON" position. The indicator light will come on.
8. When the water has completely evaporated the eggs are
cooked according to the consistency required. The cooking
time will depend on the number of eggs and the
consistency required (see table of approximate cooking
times below).
9. A signal will be emitted when cooking is complete. Remove
the eggs immediately to prevent overcooking.
10. Run cold water over the eggs. The eggs are ready to serve.
