Operation
1. Place the required amount of water into the water dish using the measuring jug. The quantity of water is adjusted
according to the desired degree of hardness and the number of eggs to be cooked.
Note: The information given here is based on medium-sized eggs (Size M). Use more or less water if you are boiling
other sizes of eggs so that you achieve the desired degree of hardness. The following basic guidelines apply: if the eggs
are too soft, you should use more water in the water dish than recommended. If too hard, use less water.
2. Take an egg in one hand and hold the measuring jug ቦ in the other. Make a slight prick in the top or bottom of the egg
using the egg piercer ቧ on the bottom of the measuring jug.
3. Place the egg with the prick facing downwards into one of the openings of the egg holder ባ. Place the tray into the egg
boiler and cover with the lid ቢ.
4. Plug the egg boiler into the mains and press switch ቤ. The indicator light comes on to show that the egg boiling process
has started.
5. After the end of the boiling time, the indicator light goes out and a buzzer sounds to tell you that the water has
completely evaporated.
6. Switch off the egg boiler. The buzzer stops once you have pressed the switch ቤ. (Remember to switch off the egg boiler
promptly to avoid burning the eggs)
7. After switching off, wait 1 or 2 minutes and only open the lid once the steam has completely escaped, so that you avoid
any danger of scolding.
8. Place the boiled eggs into cold water.
Care and cleaning
1. Before cleaning, pull the mains plug out of the socket and make sure that the egg boiler has cooled to room temperature.
2. The egg holder ባ and lid ቢ can be washed.
3. Under no circumstances is a wire brush or an abrasive cleaner to be used for cleaning.
4. Clean the water dish ቨ with a moist cloth and cleaning agent. Any build-up of calcium deposits in the water dish can
be removed with a solution of water and vinegar, followed by boiling some clean water in it.
5. The plastic housing can be cleaned with a moist cloth but it must never be immersed in water. Finish off by gently
rubbing the housing with a dry cloth.
6. After use, the egg boiler should be kept in a dry cool place.
