Setup and First Use

1. Unpack the appliance and all accessories. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Clean the egg insert, transparent lid, and measuring cup with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The main unit (base) should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
3. Place the egg cooker on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around the appliance for ventilation.
4. Before cooking, use the egg piercer located at the bottom of the measuring cup to gently pierce the larger end of each egg. This prevents the eggs from cracking during cooking.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to cook eggs with your UNOLD Mini Egg Cooker:

1. Add Water: Use the provided measuring cup to add the appropriate amount of water to the heating plate. The measuring cup has markings for different egg consistencies (soft, medium, hard) and number of eggs (1-3). Refer to the table below for guidance.
2. Place Eggs: Place the pierced eggs onto the egg insert. The egg insert can hold up to 3 eggs.
3. Cover: Place the transparent lid over the egg insert and the base unit.
4. Connect to Power: Plug the appliance into a suitable electrical outlet (220V).
5. Start Cooking: Press the On/Off switch. The operating indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the appliance is heating.
6. Cooking Process: The water will boil and steam will cook the eggs. The indicator light will remain on during the cooking process.
7. Completion Signal: Once the desired hardness is reached, the appliance will emit an audible signal. The operating indicator light will turn off.
8. Remove Eggs: Immediately switch off the appliance by pressing the On/Off switch again and unplug it from the outlet. Carefully remove the lid (steam will be hot) and use the handle on the egg insert to lift the cooked eggs. Rinse the eggs under cold water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
