Hardness Setting

NOTE:

Icons for "boiling eggs with the same hardness"

Soft eggs medium hard eggs hard eggs

Icons for "concurrent boiling of soft, medium and hard eggs"

medium hard eggs hard eggs

Boiling Eggs with the Same Hardness:

Within the desired hardness the setting is determined by number and weight class of the eggs (S, M, L, XL).

Examples:

1 small egg (weight class S) is to be soft boiled:

- Set hardness control with the notch to the onset of the boiling range for soft eggs.

1 large egg (weight class XL) or 7 small eggs are to be soft boiled:

- Set hardness control to the centre of the boiling range.

7 large eggs are to be soft boiled:

- Set hardness control to the end of the boiling range.

Try the different settings. Thanks to the electronic boiling control you will be able to get excellent results after a short time.

Concurrent Boiling of Soft, Medium and Hard Eggs:

You can boil soft, medium and hard eggs in one fill in a single step. Preferably use same size eggs.

Fill the egg boiler as usual with water. Place all eggs on the egg holder. First set the hardness for soft eggs, as described above, according to size and number of the eggs. Turn the egg boiler on. Turn the appliance off as soon as the acoustic signal sounds and carefully remove the desired amount of soft-boiled eggs with a tablespoon. Chill the removed eggs to stop them from further cooking.

Subsequently resume with the icons for "concurrent boiling of soft, medium and hard eggs". Set the controls to 🙏 and turn the appliance on again. Turn the egg boiler of and remove the medium hard-boiled eggs after the acoustic signal sounds.

For the remaining eggs, to be hard boiled, turn the controls a bit further to ⚙ and turn the appliance on again. Wait for the acoustic signal to sound. Turn the appliance off and disconnect from mains power supply.

i NOTE:

If you do not want medium hard eggs, carry on boiling after removing the soft eggs until the remaining eggs are hard-boiled.
