A) Using the Measuring Cup 1 5 6 B) 1 Using Your Egg Boiler for Boiled Eggs You can use this Egg Boiler to cook up to 7 boiled eggs to your desired doneness. Prepare the eggs by piercing a small hole at one end, using the Piecing Pin underneath the Measuring Cup. Place the eggs in the Egg Tray.

The markings on the Measuring Cup indicate the amount of water needed to cook the eggs. Fill up the cup with tap water to the desired level. Pour the water into the Boiling Plate of the Base. For hard-boiled eggs, use 1-1/ cups of water, or fill to the "max" marking on the Boiling Plate. Properly place the tray of eggs onto the Base then cover with Lid. Switch the appliance ON. When the water boils dry, the heating element will switch off and the eggs are done. Using the Electronic Timer Fill the Boiling Plate with water to the "max" marking. Set the desired cooking time by turning the Timer Knob on the Base. Properly place the tray of eggs onto the Base the cover with Lid. Switch the appliance ON.

Using Your Egg Boiler for Poached Eggs Place the Poached Egg Tray onto the Boiled Egg Tray. Up to poached eggs can be cooked at the same time. Crack one egg in each chamber of the Poached Egg Tray. Add a drop of white vinegar to each chamber. Pick desired cooking method from previous page. Properly place the Poached Egg Tray assembly onto the Base, cover with Lid and follow remaining steps. Care and Cleaning Ensure that the appliance is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning. Wipe the Base with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

Eggs at room temperature cook faster than refrigerated eggs. After each cooking cycle, unplug the appliance for 10 minutes to allow the unit to cool down. The appliance will not operate properly unless thermostat had time to reset. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. 8
