Frequently Asked Questions - the Eggspert 4 Up BEG400 BREVILLE

How do I boil eggs in the Breville Eggspert 4 Up?

Place up to 4 eggs in the egg rack (narrow end down). Lower the rack into the heating vessel, then add water to the BOIL line. Put the lid on, select SOFT, MEDIUM, or HARD using the SELECT button, then press START/CANCEL. The cooker will beep when done.

How do I poach eggs in the Eggspert 4 Up?

First, add water to the POACH line (190ml). Lightly grease the poaching tray, break eggs into the wells, place tray on the rack, lower into vessel, and cover. Select POACH function and press START/CANCEL. Use oven mitts to remove poached eggs.

What do the indicator lights mean?

When in standby, the last used function’s light is on. After pressing START/CANCEL, the light flashes slowly during heating. If the water vessel is empty, the light flashes and the cooker beeps twice, then shuts off (dry start protection).

Why is my egg cooker beeping and turning off?

This indicates no water in the vessel (dry start protection). Turn off, unplug, let cool, remove rack/tray, pour out any water, refill with fresh water, reassemble and restart. If persists, contact Breville service.

Can I wash the lid, egg rack, and poaching tray in the dishwasher?

Yes, they are top-rack dishwasher safe. Do not use the Heated Rinse cycle as high temperatures may damage the parts. The housing should be wiped with a damp cloth only.

How do I clean mineral deposits from the heating vessel?

Soak a cloth in white vinegar, place it on the cold heating plate for 10 minutes, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What is the maximum egg size for boiling?

Each egg should not exceed 70 grams. For best results, position eggs with the narrow end facing down. Egg shells do not need to be pierced.

How do I store the egg cooker?

Assemble the egg rack into the cooker, layer the poaching tray over the rack, place the lid on top, wrap the detachable cord around the unit, and store upright in a cool, dry place.

What should I do if my eggs are undercooked?

If eggs are underdone, leave them in the cooker (without power on) for an extra 1-2 minutes in the hot water. Do not restart the cooker. For significantly undercooked eggs, add a minute more next time.

Where can I get service or replacement parts?
