100% Performance

• Compared with the WMF STELIO egg cooker.

Tested by technikzuhause.de. The resources saved relate to the materials used and transport volume. The energy saved was measured on the basis of cooking one egg (medium).

Measuring jug

The measuring jug with integrated egg piercer (6) is made of high-quality Tritan® and BPA-free. The water volumes indicated on the measuring jug (6) are guidelines. Deviations may occur due to the size, storage time and temperature of the egg. The hardness of the water also influences the cooking process.

The symbols for the different levels of hardness of the boiled eggs are indicated on the measuring jug:

Hard-boiled egg

Medium egg

Soft-boiled egg

The upper and lower edge of the respective symbol shows the different egg sizes, from S to XL.

Example: Water quantity for medium-boiling a size XL egg.

Water quantity for soft-boiling a size S egg.

Getting started

• Place the appliance on a dry, slip-resistant and even horizontal surface.

Make sure the appliance is not connected to the mains power supply.

• Remove the cover (1). Always use the gripping surface when handling the cover (1).
• Fill the measuring jug (6) with the required water quantity for the desired hardness.
• Pour the measured water quantity into the cold heating bowl (3).

Make sure you do not fill the heating bowl (3) with more water than is specified for the desired preparation. Otherwise you risk overboiling the water.

• To prevent eggs cracking open while boiling, pierce them use the egg piercer (6) built into the measuring jug.
• Place the egg on the egg insert (2) and fit the cover (1) on the appliance.
• Now insert the mains plug into the socket.
• Press the on/off button (4) to turn the appliance on. The indicator light is lit white to indicate that the appliance is in operation.
• When the egg is cooked, the appliance emits an acoustic signal.
• Press the on/off button (4) on the appliance to turn it off, then pull out the mains plug. Note: You can turn the appliance off at any time by pressing the on/off button (4).
• Carefully remove the cover (1). Always use the gripping surface when handling the cover (1).

Caution: Risk of scalding from escaping steam!

• Remove the egg insert (2) and rinse the egg under cold water to halt the cooking.

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.

Dscaling

Limescale deposits lead to energy loss and adversely affect the lifespan of the appliance as well as the cooking results. The appliance switches off prematurely if the layer of limescale is too thick. The limescale is then very difficult to remove.

Therefore descale the appliance regularly.

• Prior to descending, unplug the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool down.
• Pour descending agent into the heating bowl (3) and leave the appliance to stand until the limescale has detached from the base.
• Then pour out the water and rinse thoroughly with cold tap water.

Do not heat the solution during descaling.

Caution: the warranty does not cover damage caused by failure to observe the descaling instructions.
