How to use your egg boiler ­ Fill the measuring cup completely with cold water and pour the measured quantity into the water bowl. ­ Pierce the blunt end of each egg with the piercer; this will reduce the risk of the eggs cracking during boiling. ­ Place the eggs into the holder, fit the holder onto the water bowl and put the lid on. Use the boiling-time control to select the desired degree of hardness: - soft - medium - hard ­ The markings refer to medium-size eggs. However, it is possible to adjust the degree of hardness infinitely, depending on the number and size of eggs to be boiled. ­ The size of the eggs to be used can be selected underneath the symbols for the For smallerboiling-time control: sized eggs, use a setting to the left of the boiling-time control, and a setting to the right for larger eggs. ­ If the egg holder is completely full, the adjustment wheel should be turned a little further to the right of the desired level of hardness. ­ The perfect degree of hardness very much depends on individual taste; should the eggs turn out too soft or too hard, try a slightly different setting next time. ­ Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket and use the On/Off switch to turn the egg boiler on. Remove the egg holder with the eggs from the bowl and place it immediately under cold running water. Note: if the eggs are not removed from the boiler and quenched under cold water immediately, they will continue to harden.
