Mode d'emploi
A. Boiling Eggs (Soft, Medium, Hard)
- Ajoutez de l'eau: 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).
- Œufs Pierce : 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.
- Déposez les œufs : 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.
- Couverture: Place the transparent lid over the egg tray and base unit.
- Cuisinier: Plug the appliance into a suitable power outlet. Press the power switch to turn on the egg cooker. The indicator light will illuminate.
- Arrêt automatique: The egg cooker will automatically turn off when all the water has evaporated, and the indicator light will switch off.
- Servir: 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.

Nettoyage et entretien
Un nettoyage régulier garantit des performances optimales et prolonge la durée de vie de votre cuiseur à œufs.
- Débranchez et refroidissez : Débranchez toujours l'appareil de la prise de courant et laissez-le refroidir complètement avant de le nettoyer.
