Putting into operation
Before first use clean the heating plate with a
damp cloth.
Unwind the cable from the bottom of the
appliance until desired length and put it into the
hole. Place the appliance in horizontal position
and connect it to a earthed socket.
Fill the cup with water up to the brim and pour
it into the heating plate, then put the egg tray
on the appliance. Before placing the eggs
pierce them at the dull side by means of the
egg pierce at the bottom of the cup. This
prevents eggs from bursting.
Then put the cover on the appliance.
Adjusting the boiling degree
There are 3 windows for showing the adjusted
boiling period. When turning the right button
clockwise the openings get coloured little by
little beginning on the left.
left window soft boiled eggs
window in the middle medium boiled eggs
right window hard boiled eggs
Please note that always a measuring cup
filled up to the brim must be poured in the
heating plate. With less water, the eggs
become too hard.
With one adjusted boiling degree the boiling
period is always the same.
Due to much less power of the eggboiler
compared to a conventional boiling in a pot, the
boiling time will be prolonged.
