Starting up

Before starting up the appliance, make certain that ...

- egg cooker, plug and power cable are in good working order and...

- all packaging materials have been removed from the egg cooker.

→ First of all, clean the appliance as described in the section "Cleaning and Care".

Cooking eggs

Pick a hole in the top or bottom side of the egg with the egg pick ⑦. This allows the air contained inside the egg to dissipate as it expands during boiling. This prevents the shell from bursting open.
Place the eggs on the egg holder ② with the picked side up.
→ Fill the measuring cup ⑥ with the required amount of water. The amount of water depends on the number of eggs and the desired degree of hardness.

Explanation of the symbols on the measuring cup:

○ hard
medium
soft

(i) Note:

Depending on the size of the egg, to obtain the desired hardness you may need to vary the volume of water used from that detailed by the scale markings on the measuring cup 6.

If the egg is too soft, use a little more water (about one mark on the measuring scale). The cooking time will be extended. The egg will be harder.

If the egg is too hard, use a little less water the next time (about one mark on the measuring scale). The cooking time will be shortened. The egg will be softer.

Now pour the water into the cooking bowl ③.
→ Place the egg holder ② in the cooking bowl ③ and place the lid ① on top.
→ Press the operating switch ④ to the left (position "") to turn the appliance on for cooking. The integrated control lamp glows.

As soon as the eggs are cooked, a signal sounds.

(i) Note:

Push the operating switch ④ back to the position "O" to turn the appliance off.

→ After cooking, peel the eggs under cold, flowing water.

Keeping eggs warm

i Tips:

You do not need to fill the cooking bowl ③ with water to keep the eggs warm!

Use the keep-warm function only for hard boiled eggs. After boiling, rinse the eggs under cold flowing water.

→ Push the operating switch ④ to the right to activate the keeping warm function (position "m") after cooking the eggs.
→ Push the operating switch ④ back to the position "O" to turn the appliance off.
