OPERATION 1. Up to 7 hen’s eggs may be boiled at a time. Please use only fresh eggs. 2. Place the egg tray on the motor unit. 3. Make a tiny hole in the tapered end of the egg using the egg piercer. Please do not use force as the egg might break. Caution: take care as the needle of the egg piercer is very sharp. Place only one egg in each egg insert, rounded end down. 4. Pour the required quantity of cold water into the measuring beaker. The quantity of water depends upon the number of eggs to be boiled and the hardness desired (soft, medium or hard-boiled). There are three scales on the measuring beaker showing how much water to use. • Scale 1 – soft. Cooking time approx. 5 mins. • Scale 2 – medium. Cooking time approx. 10 mins. • Scale 3 – hard. Cooking time approx. 15 mins. For example: to make four soft-boiled eggs, fill the water up to marking 4 on scale 1. 5. If you live in a hard water area, half a teaspoon of vinegar may be added to the water. Otherwise, please do not use any fluids other than water, and please do not place any additives (such as salt) into the water. 6. Pour the water from the measuring beaker into the water tray. Take care not to spill any water on the housing of the motor unit. 7. Cover the egg insert with the cover hood. Please ensure that the egg insert and cover hood fit properly on the motor unit. 8. Put the on/off switch in position O (= unit off ). 9. Connect the mains plug to a socket and put the switch in position I (= unit on ). The indicator lamp in the switch will light up. 10. The hotplate on the motor unit will begin to heat up the water in the water tray. 11. Caution: parts of the unit will become very hot during and after use. While the unit is in use, touch it only on the handles. Please watch out particularly for hot water and emitted steam. 12. Burning hazard: do not move the unit while it is in use. 13. As the water boils, hot steam will escape through the steam opening. 14. The cover must not be taken off while eggs are being boiled, as the steam will escape. 15. When the water in the water tray has completely evaporated, the eggs are ready. An alarm will sound. 16. Put the switch in position O. The alarm will stop. Pull out the mains plug. 17. Lift up the cover carefully, holding it by the handle. 18. Remove the egg tray by its handle. Help the eggshells to shrink by holding them under cold, running water. The eggs are now ready to serve.
