• Now pour the water from the measuring cup into the water reservoir. Take care not to spill any water on the housing of the main
unit!
• Cover the egg tray with the cover. Please ensure that egg tray and cover fit properly on the main unit.

The hot plate on the main unit begins to heat up the water in the water reservoir.
Caution: parts of the unit become very hot during and after use! While the unit is in use, touch it only at the handles. Please
watch out particularly for hot water and emitted steam!
Burning hazard: Do not shift the unit while it is in use. The water is boiling and hot steam escapes through the steam
opening. The cover must not be taken off while eggs are being boiled. Or the steam would escape immediately and the eggs will
not be boiled properly.
• When the water in the water reservoir has all evaporated, the eggs are done. An audible signal is emitted. The indicator lamp in
the switch I/O goes off. The hot plate on the main unit now starts cooling down.
• Put the switch I/O in position O. The audible signal discontinues. Remove the plug from the socket.
• Please lift up cover from the appliance carefully. Hold it by the handle!
• Remove the egg tray from the appliance by the handle. Help the eggs shrink by holding them under cold, flowing water. The eggs
are now ready to serve.

cleaning & maintenance
Always unplug the appliance before cleaning and let it cool down completely.

thoroughly before placing them back.

Egg shells contain a lot of calcium salts. The salt can deposit in the water reservoir, unless it is cleaned regularly. This calcium salt
can be white or brown. Therefore clean and dry the water reservoir after every use.
When there is a lot of calcium in the water reservoir which cannot be removed with a damp cloth, descale the appliance.

To do this, pour a little household vinegar into the measuring cup. Fill it up with water and pour the mixture in the water reservoir.
Leave it for 30 minutes. Attention: please do not boil the mixture in the appliance.
