in warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
To Cook
1. Place the base of the appliance on a dry,
flat level surface.
2. Use the lid, while covering the steam hole
with your finger, to measure the amount
of water required. Use the markings on
the lid as a guide and see table on page
5 for correct water quantities.
3. Pour the water into the heater plate of
the egg cooker and poacher.
4. Place the cooking rack on a flat counter
surface.

rack.
7. Place cooking rack on base and cover
with lid.

signalling that the eggs are ready.
