Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.

Operating Instructions

Boiling Eggs (Soft, Medium, Hard)

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 soft, medium, and hard-boiled eggs, corresponding to the number of eggs (1-7).
2. Pierce Eggs: Using the egg piercer located at the bottom of the measuring cup, gently pierce the large end of each egg. This prevents cracking during cooking.
3. Place Eggs: Place the pierced eggs onto the egg tray with the pierced end facing upwards.
4. Assemble: Place the egg tray onto the cooking base, then cover with the clear plastic lid.
5. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. The power light will illuminate.
6. Cooking Process: Water will begin to heat and steam will cook the eggs. The power light will remain on during cooking.
7. Automatic Shut-off: Once all the water has evaporated, the cooker will automatically shut off, and an audible buzz will sound, indicating that the eggs are cooked.
8. Cool Down: Unplug the unit. Carefully remove the lid (steam will be hot) and the egg tray. Immediately rinse the cooked eggs under cold water or place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.

5. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. The power light will illuminate.
6. Cooking Process: Water will heat and steam will cook the eggs.
7. Automatic Shut-off: The cooker will automatically shut off and buzz when the water has evaporated and eggs are cooked.
8. Serve: Unplug the unit. Carefully remove the lid and the poaching tray. Use a non-metallic spatula to gently remove the poached eggs.
