Operation
Boiled eggs
∙ Fill the measuring cup to the top with cold
water and empty it into the water bowl.
∙ Place the egg holder onto the water bowl.
∙ Pierce the blunt end of each egg with
the piercer; this will reduce the risk of the
eggs cracking during boiling.
∙ Put the eggs into their holder and fi t the
lid to close the appliance.
∙ 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
and the appliance starts heating up.
∙ 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.
∙ Remove the lid. Caution: beware of
escaping steam.
∙ Remove the egg holder and eggs from
the bowl and immediately place the whole
assembly under cold running water. Note:
if the eggs are not removed from the boiler
immediately, they will continue to harden.
Cleaning and care
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
10
socket, allow the appliance to cool down
and pour out any remaining water before
cleaning.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do not
immerse it in water.
∙ To prevent the surfaces from being
damaged or scratched, do not use
abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
∙ Wipe the housing and water bowl with a
damp cloth only.
∙ Any build-up of deposits on the water
bowl can be removed using a solution of
water and vinegar. Then let the appliance
run through one boiling cycle using fresh
cold water to clean it of any vinegar
residue.
∙ Rinse the egg insert and lid, and wipe
thoroughly dry afterwards.
