Istruzioni per l'uso
Follow these steps to cook eggs to your desired hardness:
- Uova perforanti: Use the egg piercer located at the bottom of the measuring cup to carefully pierce the blunt end of each egg. This helps prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking.
- Aggiunta di acqua: Fill the measuring cup with cold water according to the desired hardness (soft, medium, hard) and the number of eggs. The measuring cup has clear markings for guidance. Pour the measured water onto the heating plate of the egg cooker.
- Placing Eggs: Place the egg tray onto the heating plate. Carefully position the pierced eggs into the designated holders on the egg tray. The cooker can hold up to 6 eggs.
- Chiusura del coperchio: Place the transparent lid securely onto the egg cooker base.
- Collegamento all'alimentazione: Collegare l'apparecchio a una presa di corrente idonea.
- Inizio del processo di cottura: Turn the rotary knob to the desired hardness setting (e.g., soft, medium, hard). The LED lighting around the knob will illuminate, indicating the appliance is active. The electronic cooking time monitoring will begin automatically.
- Monitoraggio e completamento: The appliance will automatically monitor the cooking time. Once cooking is complete, a signal tone will sound, and the appliance will switch off automatically.
- Removing Eggs: Carefully remove the lid, being cautious of hot steam. Use the side handle of the egg tray to lift the eggs out. Rinse the eggs under cold water immediately to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
