How to use your egg boiler

cold water and pour the measured

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
– Th e markings refer to medium-size eggs.

of hardness infi nitely, depending on the
number and size of eggs to be boiled.
– Th e size of the eggs to be used can be
selected underneath the symbols for the
boiling-time control:
sized eggs, use a setting to the left of the

adjustment wheel should be turned a little
further to the right of the desired level of
hardness.

eggs turn out too soft or too hard, try a
slightly diff erent setting next time.
