West Bend 86675 instruction manual Cleaning Your Egg Cooker, To Hard-Cook Eggs

TO HARD-COOK EGGS:

1.Place the egg cooker on a dry, level surface. Use the hard cooked water level markings on the measuring cup to determine the amount of water for the number of eggs being cooked. Example: If hard cooking 7 eggs, fill the measuring cup to the 7 mark on the hard cooked-side of the measuring cup.

2.With the switch set to “OFF,” pour the recommended amount of cold water into the egg cooker base. Note: When cooking more eggs, less water is used.

3.Place the cooking rack onto the egg cooker base. Place the eggs in the cooking rack.

4.Place the cover onto the egg cooker base. Plug the appliance into a 120 volt, AC electrical outlet. Turn the switch to “ON”. The “ON” light will glow indicating the cooking process has begun. Note: Do NOT remove the cover from the base while the eggs are cooking. An audible alert will sound when the eggs are ready, after approximately 15 to 19 minutes. Turn the switch to “OFF.” Unplug the cord from the electrical outlet. Use hot pads or oven mitts to remove the cover and cooking rack. Eggs may be rinsed briefly with cold water while still in the cooking rack for easy handling. For easy peeling, crack the shell all over by tapping on a hard surface. Hard-cooked eggs may be refrigerated for up to 4 weeks.

5.Allow the egg cooker to cool completely before discarding any remaining water from the egg cooker base and before cleaning.

•A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

•Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling

– this is normal.

CLEANING YOUR EGG COOKER

To ensure optimal performance clean your egg cooker after each use. Wash the cover, poaching pan, cooking rack, and measuring cup in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The cover, poaching pan and cooking rack may be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher, top rack only, however the underside of the poaching pan will discolor which is normal and does not affect its use in cooking eggs. DO NOT CLEAN THE MEASURING CUP IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER, AS DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.

Wipe the egg cooker base with a damp cloth and dry.

Place the cooking rack, poaching pan, measuring cup, and cord inside the egg cooker for compact storage.
