Adjusting the boiling degree
The adjustment of the desired boiling degree is made by rotating the control knob. The scale is subdi-
vided into 3 areas, which are marked with different symbols:
for soft boiled
for medium boiled and
for hard boiled eggs
Please note that always a measuring cup fi lled up to the mark must be poured in the heating
plate. The eggs become too hard with less water.
With one adjusted boiling degree the boiling period is always the ame.
Due to much less power of the eggboiler compared to a conventional boiling in a pot, the boiling time
is prolonged.
Adjusting within the range of a boiling degree
Within the range of the desired boiling degree, the adjustment is determined by the number and
weight category (S, M, L, XL) of the eggs.
For small eggs having the weight category S (less than 53 g), the lowest adjustment
must be chosen.
Seven small eggs need approximately the same adjustment as one big egg (XL, more
than 73 g).
For seven big eggs having weight category XL, the highest adjustment
within the selected range of the cooking degree must be chosen.
Once the boiling degree is adjusted, switch the appliance on by rocker switch.The control lamp indi-
cates that the boiling procedure begins. When the buzzer sets in, the eggs are fi nished. Switch off the
appliance, take out the eggs and put them under cold water in order to avoid fermentation. Caution
when taking off the cap: hot steam. Only touch the cap at the handle and let the condensation
drip by tilting the cap. Since the boiling degree is subject to very personal judgement, it might be
necessary to deviate from above mentioned criterias. Personal experience with the appliance will lead
very soon to the results desired by your personal taste.

Simultaneous boiling of eggs with different boiling degrees
One water fi lling is enough to boil soft, medium and hard eggs in one operation. In order to do so use
eggs of the same size, if possible. Fill the eggboiler, as usual, with water and place the eggs in it.
Adjust the boiling degree for soft eggs fi rst, as described above, according to weight
category and number of eggs and switch on the appliance. As soon as the buzzer sets
in, switch off the appliance and take out the desired number of soft boiled eggs.
Afterwards turn back the control knob to
When the buzzer sets in again, switch off the appliance and take out the medium
boiled eggs.
For the remaining eggs to be boiled hard, turn the control knob to the symbol
and switch on the appliance again. Wait until the buzzer sets in.
In case you do not wish any medium eggs, you can maintain the adjustment and
continue the boiling in order to obtain hardboiled eggs, after you have taken out the
soft eggs.
Cleaning and service
Pull the plug and cool the appliance. Do not immerse the appliance in water, but wipe with a damp
cloth to which a dishwashing agent has been added and then wipe dry. Do not use sharp and abrasive
cleaning agents. The cooking tray is made of stainless steel. If rust spots are seen regardless, these are
initially only deposits adhering to the surface. They should be removed immediately with stainless steel
cleaner.
Descaling
Please descale your appliance regularly using a high-quality commercial descaling agent. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions, particularly with regard to the subsequent cleaning with clear water,
which is essential! Suitable descaling agents contain inhibitors that protect appliances against damage
to seals and surfaces, do not cause additional deposits and have no taste. Do not use descaling agents
that are unsuitable for your appliance (such as substances based purely on vinegar or citric acid). Our
warranty does not cover damage caused by using unsuitable descaling agents or failure to follow the
descaling instructions. Please keep descaling agents out of reach of children and make sure you do not
inhale any of the steam given off during descaling.
and switch on the appliance again.
