4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for perfectly cooked eggs:

4.1. For Hard-Boiled or Soft-Boiled Eggs

1. Measure Water: Use the provided measuring cup to add water to the heating plate. The cup has markings for 'Soft', 'Medium', and 'Hard' to achieve your desired egg consistency. Pour the measured water directly onto the heating plate.
2. Place Egg Holder: Position the 5-egg holder tray securely onto the heating plate.
3. Pierce Eggs: Using the built-in piercer on the bottom of the measuring cup, gently pierce the wider end of each egg. This helps prevent cracking during cooking.
4. Load Eggs: Place the pierced eggs onto the egg holder tray with the pierced side facing upwards.
5. Cover & Cook: Place the transparent lid securely on the base. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that cooking has begun. The cooker will automatically shut off and the light will turn off when the water has evaporated and the eggs are done.
6. Cool Eggs (Optional for Easy Peeling): For easier peeling of hard-boiled eggs, immediately transfer them to an ice bath or run them under cold water for at least 5 minutes after cooking.

4.2. For Omelets

1. Prepare Omelet Mixture: Whisk 1-2 eggs in a separate bowl. You may add desired ingredients such as chopped vegetables, cheese, or cooked meats.
2. Measure Water: Use the measuring cup to add water to the heating plate. Refer to the 'Soft' or 'Medium' marking for omelets, depending on your preferred firmness.
3. Place Omelet Tray: Place the omelet tray onto the heating plate.
4. Pour Mixture: Pour the whisked egg mixture into the omelet tray.
5. Cover & Cook: Place the transparent lid securely on the base. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that cooking has begun. The cooker will automatically shut off and the light will turn off when the omelet is done.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your egg cooker.

5.1. Daily Cleaning

• Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wash the lid, measuring cup, egg holder tray, and omelet tray with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. These parts are top-rack dishwasher safe.
• Wipe the exterior of the egg cooker base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water or any other liquid.

5.2. Removing Mineral Residue from Heating Plate

Over time, mineral deposits from water may accumulate on the heating plate. To remove this residue:

1. Dilute household vinegar by mixing 1 part vinegar with 10 parts water.
2. Pour the diluted solution onto the heating plate.
3. Let it soak for about 30 minutes. For stubborn stains, you may gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge.
4. Drain the solution and wipe the heating plate with a damp cloth.

6. Troubleshooting

• Eggs not cooked to desired doneness: Adjust the amount of water used according to the markings on the measuring cup. Less water results in softer eggs, more water results in harder eggs. Ensure eggs are pierced correctly.
• Eggs cracking during cooking: Ensure eggs are pierced at the wider end before placing them in the cooker. This allows steam to escape and reduces pressure buildup.
• Residue on heating plate: Refer to the 'Removing Mineral Residue' section in Maintenance and Cleaning.
• Eggs are difficult to peel: After cooking, immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath or run them under cold water for at least 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process and helps the shell separate from the egg white.
