- The hardness of the cooked eggs depends on various factors: Size and temperature of the eggs. The preferred cooking level of the eggs can be found out quickly by trial and error.

• At the end of the cooking process, the appliance announces by voice output that the eggs are ready and then switches itself off.
• The output language can be changed by pressing the "Medium hard" and "Hard" buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
• The intermediate values between "Soft" and "Medium hard" / "Medium hard" and "Hard" are also signalled by three beeps.

Electrical Connection

• Check whether the mains voltage you want to use matches that of the appliance. You will find the information on the type plate.
• Only connect the appliance to a properly installed protective contact socket.

1. Place the appliance horizontally on a flat and dry surface. This must be non-slip and heat-resistant.
2. Fill the hob with 130 ml of water.
3. Put the egg holder in place.
4. Prick the eggs on the blunt side so that they do not crack during cooking. To do this, use the pricking needle on the underside of the measuring cup.
