6. Cleaning and Maintenance

• Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• The stainless steel lid, steam rack, and custard egg bowl are removable and can be washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Wipe the base tray with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base unit in water.
• For mineral deposits on the heating plate, add a small amount of vinegar and water, heat for a few minutes, then scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry.

7. Troubleshooting

• Eggs cracking during cooking: Ensure you pierce the larger end of each egg with the provided pin before cooking. This releases pressure and helps prevent cracking.
• Eggs not cooked to desired doneness: Verify the water amount used matches the recommended levels in the cooking guide for your desired doneness. Adjust water slightly for larger or smaller eggs, or if your local altitude affects boiling points.
• Appliance not turning on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the appliance and the wall outlet. Ensure the power switch is pressed.
• Water boiling over: Ensure you are not overfilling the base tray with water. Always use the measuring cup for precise amounts.
