audible alert will sound when eggs are ready, approximately 13 to 17 minutes. Turn switch OFF.
Unplug cord from electrical outlet. Use hot pads to remove cover and cooking rack. Eggs may be
rinsed briefly with cold water while in rack for easy handling. If hard-cooked eggs are not to be used
immediately, place in ice-cold water for 10 minutes. Hard-cooked eggs may be refrigerated for up to
4 weeks. For easy peeling, crack shell all over by tapping on hard surface. If eggs are hot, hold
under cold running water while peeling.

cleaning.
