Care and Cleaning

After each use

Turn the power off and unplug from the power outlet.

To clean the plastic parts

Wash the cover, egg rack, poaching trays and steaming rack in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Note: Do not clean any parts in a dishwasher as the high temperatures reached may distort the plastic.

To clean the heating vessel

Wipe over with a damp cloth. Do not use

harsh abrasives as these will scratch the non- stick surface.

After cleaning the heating vessel, rub a small amount of vegetable or cooking oil into the non-stick surface. This allows easier removal of mineral deposits that exist normally in water.

Important: Do not immerse the unit in water or any other liquid.

Care is required when handling the egg piercer on the measuring cup.
