Safety system
If the egg boiler is operated accidentally without water, a thermostat switches the
appliance off to protect it from overheating. You must allow the egg boiler to cool down
before you operate it again.
Should the first thermostat malfunction due to improper use, an additional temperature
limiter provides reliable protection.
Cleaning and care
Cleaning
Unplug the mains cord and allow the appliance to cool down. Do not immerse the
appliance in water, but rather clean it using a damp cloth with a little washing-up liquid
and then dry it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
The heating bowl (3) is made of stainless steel. If rust spots do appear however, they are
merely deposits that have formed on the surface.
They should be removed immediately with a stainless steel cleanser.
The egg insert (2) and cover (1) are dishwasher-safe.
