Dos and Don'ts

DO:

Switch off the egg cooker and disconnect it from the mains power supply before changing or fitting attachments.

DON'T:

• Use the egg cooker if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
• Use parts if they are loose, damaged or broken.

Care and Maintenance

1. STEP 1: Switch off and unplug the egg cooker from the mains power supply. Allow the egg cooker to cool fully before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
2. STEP 2: Wipe the egg cooker main unit with a soft, damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly.
3. STEP 3: Wash all of the accessories in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive scourers to clean the egg cooker, as this could cause damage.

NOTE: The egg cooker should be cleaned after each use.

Removing Limescale/Scorch Marks

Limescale/scorch marks can develop over time around the heating plate, affecting the performance and lifespan of the egg cooker. It is recommended to use a commercial descaling agent to remove limescale from the egg cooker regularly, at least once a month.

1. STEP 1: Add the descaling solution to the heating plate, following the manufacturer's instructions.
2. STEP 2: Plug in and switch on the egg cooker at the mains power supply, then press the power button to turn on the egg cooker.
3. STEP 3: After approximately 15 minutes or if all solution has evaporated, press the power button to turn off the egg cooker. Allow it to cool before emptying the heating plate and wiping it several times with a soft, damp cloth. Leave to dry thoroughly.

CAUTION: This process will cause steam to escape which could cause scalding. Allow for sufficient ventilation around the egg cooker during this process. (⚠)

WARNING: Do not leave the egg cooker unattended whilst removing limescale. (⚠)

Instructions for Use

Before First Use

Clean the egg cooker following the instructions in the section entitled 'Care and maintenance'.

NOTE: When using the egg cooker for the first time, a slight odour may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Allow for sufficient ventilation around the egg cooker.

Using the Egg Cooker

To Make Boiled Eggs

1. STEP 1: Check that the egg cooker is switched off and unplugged from the mains power supply and place it onto a clean, dry, stable surface, at a height that is comfortable for the user.
2. STEP 2: Remove the lid and take out the removable egg tray and egg poachers from the egg cooker.
3. STEP 3: Determine the desired consistency and number of the eggs to be cooked (soft, medium or hard-boiled). Fill the cup to the appropriate quantity with cold water, following the table in the section entitled 'Water quantities for cooking eggs'.
4. STEP 4: Pour the cold water onto the heating plate and then place the removable egg tray on top.
5. STEP 5: Prepare the number of eggs to be cooked (up to 6 eggs at once). Use the egg piercer to create a small hole in the larger end of each egg and then place the small end of each egg securely into the holes in the removable egg tray. This will prevent the eggs from breaking during the cooking process.
6. STEP 6: Place the lid back onto the egg cooker.
7. STEP 7: Plug in and switch on the egg cooker at the mains power supply.
8. STEP 8: Press the power button on the egg cooker main unit; the power button will illuminate and the cooking process will begin.
9. STEP 9: Once the water has completely evaporated and the eggs are cooked, the egg cooker will beep. Press the power button on the egg cooker main unit to turn off the egg cooker.
10. STEP 10: Remove the lid with caution, as steam will be emitted from the egg cooker. Carefully remove the eggs; they will have become hot during the cooking process.

CAUTION: Do not touch the lid during the cooking process, as it will become extremely hot. The piercing pin on the underside of the water measuring cup is very sharp. Use extreme caution when handling. (⚠)

Water Quantities for Cooking Eggs

Quantities will vary depending upon the desired result. For best results use distilled water, as tap water contains minerals which can cause discoloration of the eggs.

NOTE: These are approximate quantities. The quantity of water needed may vary depending on egg size, personal preference and type of water.

To Make Poached Eggs

1. STEP 1: Check that the egg cooker is switched off and unplugged from the mains power supply and place it onto a clean, dry, stable surface, at a height that is comfortable for the user.
2. STEP 2: Remove the lid and then take out the removable egg tray and egg poachers from the egg cooker.
3. STEP 3: Fill the measuring cup with cold water to 50 ml. Pour the cold water onto the heating plate.
4. STEP 4: Lightly coat the egg poachers with oil or butter. Break one egg into each egg poacher.
5. STEP 5: Place the removable egg tray onto the egg cooker, place the egg poacher on top of the egg tray and then close the lid.
6. STEP 6: Plug in and switch on the egg cooker at the mains power supply.
7. STEP 7: Press the power button on the front of the egg cooker main unit; the power button will illuminate and the cooking process will begin.
8. STEP 8: Once the water has completely evaporated and the eggs are cooked, the egg cooker will beep intermittently. Press the power button on the egg cooker main unit to turn off the egg cooker.
9. STEP 9: Using a small heat-resistant plastic or wooden spatula, carefully remove the poached eggs from the egg poachers. Remove the eggs immediately to prevent over-poaching.

Storage

Check that the egg cooker is cool, clean and dry before storing in a cool, dry place. Never wrap the cord tightly around the egg cooker; wrap it loosely to avoid causing damage.
