Starting up
Before starting up the appliance, make certain
that ...
-
egg cooker, plug and power cable are in good
working order and...
-
all packaging materials have been removed
from the egg cooker.
➪
First of all, clean the appliance as described in
the section "Cleaning and Care".
Cooking eggs
➪
Pick a hole in the top or bottom side of the egg
with the egg pick
u
. This allows the air contained
inside the egg to dissipate as it expands during
boiling. This prevents the shell from bursting
open.
➪
Place the eggs on the egg holder
w
with the
picked side up.
➪
Fill the measuring cup
y
with the required
amount of water. The amount of water depends
on the number of eggs and the desired degree
of hardness.
Explanation of the symbols on the measuring cup:
hard
medium
soft
Note:
Depending on the size of the egg, to obtain the des-
ired hardness you may need to vary the volume of
water used from that detailed by the scale markings
on the measuring cup
y
.
If the egg is too soft, use a little more water (about
one mark on the measuring scale). The cooking time
will be extended. The egg will be harder.
If the egg is too hard, use a little less water the next
time (about one mark on the measuring scale). The
cooking time will be shortened. The egg will be softer.
➪
Now pour the water into the cooking bowl
e
.
➪
Place the egg holder
w
in the cooking bowl
e
and place the lid
q
on top.
➪
Press the operating switch
r
to the left (position

➪
After cooking, peel the eggs under cold, flowing
water.
Keeping eggs warm
Tips:
You do not need to fill the cooking bowl
e
with
water to keep the eggs warm!
Use the keep-warm function only for hard boiled eggs.
After boiling, rinse the eggs under cold flowing water.
