NOTE
For a firmer result, leave the eggs sitting in the
water in the heating vessel for an additional
1-2 minutes after the initial cooking time has
elapsed.
POACHING EGGS
1. Slowly fill with water into the heating vessel
up to the poach line (190ml).
IMPORTANT
For poaching, always add the water to the
heating vessel first before lowering the egg
rack/tray.
2. Lightly grease the poaching tray with
baking spray, butter or oil. Gently break
eggs into the cooking wells in the poaching
tray, ensuring the yolk remains intact.
3. Gently place the poaching tray on
the egg rack, ensuring the grooves
on either end of the poaching tray fit
on the inside of the egg rack handles.
4. Position the egg rack/tray assembly above
the cooker and ensure the egg rack handles
are aligned with the recesses on the egg
cooker housing rim.
5. Lower the egg rack/tray assembly into the
egg cooker using the egg rack handles
provided. Ensure the egg rack handles are
fitted into the recesses on the egg cooker
housing and replace the lid on top.
6. Connect the power cord to the power cord
connection point found on the back of the
egg cooker. Connect the power plug into
a 230V or 240V power outlet and switch
on at the power outlet. The egg cooker will
beep to indicate it is on standby mode and
all lights on the unit will illuminate, before
the light for HARD illuminates only.
NOTE
For first use, the light beside HARD will
illuminate. Each subsequent use will have the
corresponding light illuminate with the last
function used.
7. Press the SELECT button to cycle through
the available functions until the light
corresponding with POACH is illuminated.
8. Press START/CANCEL to begin the
function. The light will begin to flash slowly,
indicating that the egg cooker has begun
to heat. Refer to the Approximate Cooking
Times table in this book for cooking times.
WARNING
Avoid unnecessary removal of the lid and egg
rack/tray during cooking, as heat surrounding
the egg will escape.
9. To turn the egg cooker off at any time
during cooking, press START/CANCEL.
10. Once finished, the buzzer will sound for
one minute to indicate that the function is
complete. Before opening the lid, switch off
at the power outlet.
11. Use oven mitts to carefully remove the
lid from the egg cooker. Tilt the lid away
from the body to help safely redirect any
escaping steam.
WARNING
Always take care when lifting and removing
the lid and egg rack/tray as escaping steam
and hot water can cause burns.
WARNING
Do not touch hot surfaces; use oven mitts to
remove the lid and egg rack/tray.
12. Remove the egg rack, with the poaching
tray still assembled, from the egg cooker
using oven mitts and the egg rack handles.
13. Gently remove the poached eggs from the
poaching tray wells using a spoon or heat
proof spatula.
