7. Cooking Guide

The cooking times listed below are guidelines. The thermal sensor in the Egg Cooker will automatically shut off when the water has completely evaporated and the eggs are done. Adjust water levels slightly for desired firmness. Higher altitudes may require additional water.

8. Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wash the lid, egg tray, egg bowl, and measuring cup in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. These parts are top-rack dishwasher safe.
3. Wipe the heating plate with a damp cloth. For mineral residue, use a small amount of white vinegar on a damp cloth, then wipe with clean water and dry.
4. Do NOT immerse the main unit (heating plate base) in water or any other liquid.
5. Store the cooker in a dry place.

9. Troubleshooting

• Eggs cracking during cooking: Ensure eggs are pierced before cooking. Using room temperature eggs can also help.
• Eggs not cooked to desired doneness: Adjust the water level in the measuring cup. More water generally results in harder eggs, less water for softer eggs.
• Mineral residue on heating plate: This is normal due to water minerals. Clean with white vinegar as described in the Cleaning and Maintenance section.
• Unit does not turn on: Ensure the appliance is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
