Operating Instructions

- Place Eggs: Position the boiling tray on the heating plate. Place the pierced eggs into the indentations on the boiling tray with the pierced end pointing upwards.
- Cover & Cook: Place the transparent lid over the boiling tray and main unit. Press the power button to begin cooking. The indicator light will illuminate.
- Finish: The cooker will automatically shut off and sound a buzzer when cooking is complete. Carefully remove the lid and eggs using heat-resistant tongs.
