5.1. Egg Boiling

1. Use the measuring cup to add the appropriate amount of water to the heating plate. The amount of water determines the egg consistency (soft, medium, hard).
2. Use the piercing pin on the bottom of the measuring cup to gently pierce the larger end of each egg. This prevents cracking during boiling.
3. Place the steam/egg plate onto the main unit. Arrange up to 8 eggs on the egg plate.
4. Cover with the transparent lid.
5. Plug in the appliance. Turn the timer knob to the desired cooking time (e.g., 7-10 minutes for soft to hard-boiled eggs). The indicator light will illuminate.
6. Once the timer reaches zero, the appliance will automatically shut off. Carefully remove the lid and eggs.

2. Place the steam/egg plate onto the main unit. Arrange your food items on the plate.
3. Cover with the transparent lid.
4. Plug in the appliance. Turn the timer knob to the desired steaming time (up to 45 minutes). The indicator light will illuminate.

5.3. General Cooking (e.g., Instant Noodles, Scrambled Eggs)

2. Cover with the transparent lid if required for faster cooking or to retain heat.
3. Plug in the appliance. Turn the timer knob to the desired cooking time. The indicator light will illuminate.
