Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and dispose of them responsibly.
2. Clean: Before first use, wash the transparent lid, egg holder, and measuring cup in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the heating plate and base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
3. Placement: Place the egg boiler on a clean, dry, and stable surface, away from heat sources and water.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to cook eggs with your KRUPS Ovomat Trio:

1. Measure 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, depending on the number of eggs (1-3).
2. Pierce Eggs: Use the egg piercer located at the bottom of the measuring cup to gently pierce the larger end of each egg. This helps prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking.
3. Place Eggs: Place the pierced eggs into the removable egg holder. Ensure they are stable.
4. Assemble: Place the egg holder with eggs onto the heating plate. Cover the unit with the transparent lid.
5. Power On: Plug the appliance into a suitable power outlet. Press the On/Off switch to start the cooking process. The indicator light will illuminate.

7. Acoustic Signal: Once the water has evaporated and the eggs are cooked to the desired consistency, an acoustic signal will sound, indicating that cooking is complete.
8. Power Off: Press the On/Off switch to turn off the appliance and unplug it from the power outlet.
9. Remove Eggs: Carefully remove the transparent lid (beware of hot steam). Use the removable egg holder to lift the hot eggs from the appliance. You may cool them under cold water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
