PRECAUTIONS
1.Prior to operating Egg Cooker, make sure all Egg Cooker parts are securely in place.
2.Avoid contact with steam while unit is “ON”.
3.During cooking cycle, all Egg Cooker parts become hot.
Do not touch or move Base, Cooking Rack, Poaching Tray, or Lid while unit is “ON”.
HELPFUL HINTS
Egg cooking times are affected by factors such as:
1.Number and size of eggs cooked: More eggs cooked at one time INCREASES cooking time so LESS water is needed. Larger eggs require more water to cook.
2.Temperature of eggs prior to cooking: Cold eggs require longer cooking time than room temperature eggs.
3.Temperature and amount of water used: Cold water increases cooking time. More water used increases cooking time.
4.Altitude: The higher the elevation, the longer eggs will take to cook.
5.Length of time the eggs remain in Egg Cooker following cooking cycle: After the Egg Cooker “buzzes”, cooking continues until eggs are removed.
CARE and CLEANING
Wash Lid, Poaching Tray and Cooking Rack in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher (top rack only). Rinse thoroughly and dry. Let the Base cool and wipe it with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID. Place Cooking Rack and Poaching Tray inside Egg Cooker for storage.
