Before the first use
Wipe over the heating vessel with a damp cloth. Wash the plastic parts in warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
Boiling Eggs
Up to 6 eggs can be cooked at one time.
1.Using the measuring cup, measure the amount of water required and pour into the heating vessel. Use cold tap water.
Eg. For 2 soft eggs, refer to the section marked 
on the measuring cup and fill the cup to the line marked 2. For 3 hard
boiled eggs, refer to the section marked
on the measuring cup and fill to the line marked 3. See figure 1.

2.Eggs have an air pocket in the large end of the shell and they can crack during cooking as the air expands from the heat. Thus piercing eggs prevents them from cracking during cooking.
Pierce the large end of the egg using the egg piercer which is on the underside of
the measuring cup. To do this, simply place the large end of the egg against the egg piercer and press the piercer into the egg.
Important: Avoid injuries from the egg piercer.
3.Position the egg rack over the heating vessel and place the eggs in the egg rack with the large ends facing down.
4.Place the cover over the eggs.
Important: Ensure the steam vent faces away from you.
5.Insert the plug into a
6.To commence cooking, turn the dial
to ‘cook’, or to ‘cook ’ if you wish the buzzer to sound when cooking has completed.
Approximate cooking times are as follows:
| Soft | 7 minutes |
| Medium | 10 minutes |
| Hard | 12 minutes |
These cooking times are a guideline only. Times will vary depending on the number of eggs cooked, the size and the temperature of eggs being used.
The measures on the measuring cup are based on eggs used at room temperature. Standard (59g) eggs have been used.
Note: You may need to add more water for refrigerated or larger eggs.
Also eggs will be firmer if more water is used and softer if less is used. You will quickly learn to adjust the water level to boil eggs just the way you want.
