Operating Instructions

The measuring cup is key to achieving your desired egg consistency. It has markings for soft, medium, and hard-boiled eggs, as well as for poached eggs and omelets.

For Hard, Medium, or Soft-Boiled Eggs:

1. Fill the measuring cup with cold water to the desired line (Soft, Medium, or Hard).
2. Use the piercing pin located at the bottom of the measuring cup to gently poke a small hole in the large end of each egg. This helps prevent cracking during cooking.
3. Pour the measured water onto the heating plate of the cooker.
4. Place the 6-egg holder tray onto the heating plate. Place up to 6 pierced eggs onto the tray with the pierced end facing upwards.
5. Cover the cooker with the transparent lid. Ensure it is securely placed.
6. Plug in the cooker and press the power button. The indicator light will illuminate.
7. The cooker will automatically shut off and sound an alarm when the water has evaporated and the eggs are cooked.
8. Carefully remove the lid (steam will be hot) and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your egg cooker.

• Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• All non-electric parts (lid, trays, measuring cup) are dishwasher safe. You can also wash them by hand with warm, soapy water.
• To clean the heating plate, wipe it with a damp cloth. For mineral deposits (which may appear as rust but are natural mineral residues from water), use a mild solution of water and vinegar (10 parts water, 1 part vinegar) or a "Magic Eraser" sponge. Wet the sponge with water and gently scrub in a circular motion.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on any part of the cooker.
