Bedryfsinstruksies
A. Boiling Eggs (Soft, Medium, Hard)
- Voeg water by: Use the provided measuring cup to add the desired amount of water to the heating plate. The measuring cup has markings for soft, medium, and hard-boiled eggs, corresponding to the number of eggs (1-7).
- Prik eiers: Using the egg piercer located at the bottom of the measuring cup, gently pierce the larger end of each egg. This prevents cracking during cooking.
- Plaas eiers: Place the egg tray onto the base unit. Arrange the pierced eggs on the egg tray with the pierced end facing upwards. The cooker can hold up to 6 eggs.

- Outomatiese afskakeling: The egg cooker will automatically turn off when all the water has evaporated, and the indicator light will switch off.
- Bedien: Carefully remove the lid (beware of hot steam) and the egg tray. Rinse the eggs under cold water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
