OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HARD, MEDIUM AND SOFT
COOKED EGGS
1. Place Egg Central appliance on a clean,
dry surface.
2. Remove lid and all other removable parts.
3.
Decide how you want to cook your eggs.
Find the marking for Hard, Medium or Soft
on the measuring beaker and fill with cold
water to the center of that range. For best
results, use distilled water, since tap water
has minerals that can cause eggs to discolor.
NOTE: The range is a guide, and water
levels may need to be adjusted to achieve
desired doneness.
4. Pour cold water into heating plate.
5. Rinse the number of eggs desired – cook
up to 10 eggs at a time.
6. Place the lower cooking rack over the base
of the unit. The ribs on side handles should
be facing upward.
7. Using the piercing pin located under the
beaker, pierce top side of each egg and
place in cooking tray. Rinse pin after each
use.
NOTE: To cook more than 7 eggs – up to
10 total – place the upper cooking rack
over the center of the lower rack, resting
the raised edges carefully on the tops of
eggs below. Pierce each egg before plac-
ing it on upper cooking rack.
8. Place lid on top of unit and slide power
switch to the ON position. Indicator light
will be lit.
9. When water is completely evaporated, the
cooking cycle ends and a steady audible
tone will sound and indicator light will turn
off.
NOTE: Cooking time will vary depending
on number of eggs and consistency.
10. Slide power switch to the OFF position.
NOTE: Once the unit cools off, it will auto-
matically turn on again if the switch is not
manually moved to the OFF position.
11. Remove eggs immediately and run under
cold water to prevent overcooking.
12. Eggs are now ready to serve.
To Cook More Eggs
1. If you notice any mineral buildup on the
heating plate after cooking, moisten a
paper towel with one tablespoon white
vinegar and wipe clean.
2. Repeat steps 1–12.
NOTE: Cooking times will vary slightly
depending on number and size of eggs,
temperature of eggs prior to cooking,
temperature and amount of water used,
altitude and length of time eggs remain in
cooker following cooking cycle.
