Adjusting the boiling degree
The adjustment of the desired boiling degree is made by rotating the control
knob. The scale is subdivided into 3 areas, which are marked with different
symbols:
for soft boiled
for medium boiled and
for hard boiled eggs
Please note that always a measuring cup fi lled up to the mark must be
poured in the heating plate. The eggs become too hard with less water.
With one adjusted boiling degree the boiling period is always the ame.
Due to much less power of the eggboiler compared to a conventional boiling in a
pot, the boiling time is prolonged.
Adjusting within the range of a boiling degree
Within the range of the desired boiling degree, the adjustment is determined by
the number and weight category (S, M, L, XL) of the eggs.
For small eggs having the weight category S (less than 53 g), the lowest adjust-
ment must be chosen.
Seven small eggs need approximately the same adjustment as one big egg (XL,
more than 73 g).
For seven big eggs having weight category XL, the highest adjustment
within the selected range of the cooking degree must be chosen.
Once the boiling degree is adjusted, switch the appliance on by rocker switch.The
control lamp indicates that the boiling procedure begins. When the buzzer sets in,
the eggs are fi nished. Switch off the appliance, take out the eggs and put them
under cold water in order to avoid fermentation. Caution when taking off the
cap: hot steam. Only
touch the cap at the handle and let the condensation
drip by tilting the cap. Since the boiling degree is subject to very personal judge-
ment, it might be necessary to deviate from above mentioned criterias. Personal
experience with the appliance will lead very soon to the results desired by your
personal taste.
Simultaneous boiling of eggs with different boiling degrees
One water fi lling is enough to boil soft, medium and hard eggs in one operation.
In order to do so use eggs of the same size, if possible. Fill the eggboiler, as usual,
with water and place the eggs in it.
Adjust the boiling degree for soft eggs fi rst, as described above, according to
weight category and number of eggs and switch on the appliance. As soon as the
buzzer sets in, switch off the appliance and take out the desired number of soft
boiled eggs.

Afterwards turn back the control knob to
again. When the buzzer sets in again, switch off the appliance and take out the
medium boiled eggs.
For the remaining eggs to be boiled hard, turn the control knob to the symbol or the remaining eggs to be boiled hard, turn the control knob to the symbol
and switch on the appliance again. Wait until the buzzer sets in.
In case you do not wish any medium eggs, you can maintain the adjustment and
continue the boiling in order to obtain hardboiled eggs, after you have taken out
the soft eggs.
Cleaning and service
Pull the plug and cool the appliance. Do not immerse the appliance in water, but
wipe with a damp cloth to which a dishwashing agent has been added and then
wipe dry. Do not use sharp and abrasive cleaning agents. The cooking tray is made
of stainless steel. If rust spots are seen regardless, these are initially only deposits
adhering to the surface. They should be removed immediately with stainless steel
cleaner.
Descaling
Limescale deposits lead to energy losses and have a negative effect upon the
appliance service as well as the cooking results. The appliance switches off
prematurely if the layer of limescale is too thick. The limescale is then very
diffi cult to remove. Therefore descale the appliance regularly.
We recommend using Cromargol®. This product is highly effective, food safe and
is neutral in taste and smell. Thanks to its special care formula with six high-
quality and protective additives, Cromargol® is also very gentle on materials.
You can usually purchase Cromargol® from the store where you have purchased
your appliance or from your chosen dealer. The Cromargol® decalcifi er is only
available in Germany and Austria.
▪ Prior to descaling, unplug the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool
down.
▪ Pour half a portion (50 ml) of Cromargol® into the heating bowl and leave
the appliance to stand until the layer of limescale has detached from the base.
Then fi ll the heating bowl with cold tap water to cover the limescale ring on
the wall and leave to stand for 15 minutes.
▪ Then pour out and thoroughly rinse with cold tap water.
▪ Measure out and use other descaling agents according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not heat the solution during descaling.
Caution: the warranty does not cover damage caused by not observing the
descaling instructions.
