Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with your appliance.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash lid, poaching tray, egg holder, and water measuring cup in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe interior of water reservoir with a damp, nonabrasive cloth.

How to Make Hard-, Medium-, or Soft-Cooked Eggs

NOTE: Never operate egg cooker without water in the center of the reservoir, or use a liquid other than water for cooking purposes, since this may damage the unit.

WARNING! Food Safety Hazard.

• Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
• For more information, refer to the U.S. FDA's Food Facts "Playing It Safe With Eggs" at http://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/types/eggs/index.html

According to the FDA:

• Thorough cooking is perhaps the most important step in making sure eggs are safe. Cook eggs until both the yolk and the white are firm. Scrambled eggs should not be runny.
• Casseroles and other dishes containing eggs should be cooked to 160°F (72°C). Use a food thermometer to be sure.
• For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method, or pasteurized egg products.

Choose the number of large eggs you want to cook and locate type of cooked egg you want on the water measuring cup. Fill with cold water to that line.

NOTE: This product works best for large eggs. Adjust amount of water for other sizes of eggs.

Tips

• Buy only clean, refrigerated eggs. Always wash your hands, surfaces, and any utensils that have come in contact with raw eggs.
• Check eggs for cracks before buying. Do not buy eggs with cracks or slight cracks. Cracks let air into the egg which will cause spoilage.
• Do not purchase eggs after the sell-by date.
• Eggs should be stored in the carton they were purchased in. You can keep eggs 3 weeks past the sell-by date.
• Store eggs in their carton on the lower or middle shelf in the refrigerator at a temperature under 45^ (7°C).

• Only use cold eggs. Your eggs may be overcooked if they aren't cold from the refrigerator.

• Eggs should be thrown out if left at room temperature longer than 2 hours, or 1 hour if warm weather.

• Rinse hard-cooked eggs with cold water or place in bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
• Overcooked eggs will have a green ring around the cooked egg yolk.
• Quick check for fresh eggs: Place egg in bowl of water. If they rise, they are not fresh. If they sink, they are fresh.
• Do not freeze hard-cooked eggs or cooked egg whites, since they will weep and be tough to chew.
• Hard-cooked eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for 5 days.
• If you'd like to pierce your eggs before cooking, the water measuring cup is equipped with an egg-piercing tool at the bottom of the cup. Always clean the egg-piercing tool after each use.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

Eggs are overcooked.	Have you used medium or small eggs? This product works best with large eggs. Follow water recommendation for one less egg than what you are cooking.
Eggs are undercooked.	Did you add water to the center of the water reservoir? The cooking time is measured by water evaporating from center first. Did you use extra large or jumbo eggs? This product works best with large eggs.
Eggs are slightly brown on shell after cooking.	Different types of water may discolor egg shells. Eggs are safe to eat.
Eggs are difficult to peel.	Very fresh eggs can be difficult to peel. It is easiest to peel eggs that have been refrigerated 1 week to 10 days. To peel an egg, crackle the shell all over by gently tapping the egg on a table or countertop. Roll the egg between your hands to loosen the shell. Then peel off the shell, starting at the large end. Hold the egg under running water or dip it in water to make peeling easier.
