How to use your egg boiler
∙ Fill the measuring cup completely with
cold water and pour the measured
quantity into the water bowl.
∙ Pierce the blunt end of each egg with
the piercer; this will reduce the risk of the
eggs cracking during boiling.
∙ Place the eggs into the holder, fi t the
holder onto the water bowl and put the lid
on.
∙ Use the boiling-time control to select the
desired degree of hardness:
– soft
– medium
– hard
∙ The markings refer to medium-size eggs.
However, it is possible to adjust the
degree of hardness infi nitely, depending
on the number and size of eggs to be
boiled.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket
and use the On/Off switch to turn the egg
boiler on. The indicator light comes on.
∙ A beep is heard once the pre-set cooking
time for the desired hardness of the eggs
has elapsed.
∙ Switch off the appliance. The indicator
light goes out. Remove the plug from the
wall socket.
∙ Open the lid. Caution: When the lid is
opened, hot steam will escape.
∙ Remove the egg holder with the eggs
from the bowl and place it immediately
under cold running water. Note: if the
eggs are not removed from the boiler
without delay, they will continue to
harden.
