Operating Your Design Eggboiler
Cooking eggs
1. Prepare the appliance for use. Before first use or after a longer period of storage you
should clean the appliance (see First Use). If necessary, pour out any remaining
water. Always use fresh tap water for your eggboiler.
Place the steamer base on an appropriate surface (level, dry, water-resistant and
heat-resistant). During operation, always keep the appliance away from other objects:
leave at least 20 cm of free space on each side and 1 m of free space above the appliance.
2. Fill up the heating base in the steamer base with clear tap water. You can boil up to
7 eggs at one time. For soft or hard boiled eggs, fill the measuring cup with cold tap
water to the desired level. The water level in the measuring cup depends on the
amount of eggs you want to boil and the hardness. Less water is used when cooking
more eggs. The amount of water used may have to be adjusted to allow for variations
in temperature and size of eggs. Fill the cup with water to the line along side the
number of eggs you are cooking.
number of eggs amount of water (hard eggs) amount of water (soft eggs)
1 100 ml 55 ml
2 90 ml 50 ml
3 80 ml 45 ml
4 70 ml 40 ml
5 60 ml 35 ml
6 50 ml 30 ml
7 40 ml 25 ml
3. Take the lid and the egg tray off the steamer base and pour the measured water on
the heating base.
CAUTION! Do not overfill the heating base. Otherwise the water could overflow the
brim of the heating base during operation. Only use clear water without any ingredients.
Dry spilled water immediately. Ensure that the steamer base is situated on an even
surface. If the steamer base is placed on an uneven surface, the heating base is only
partly covered with water. An acoustic signal continuously sounds until you turn
´OFF` the appliance. The same will happen if you forget to fill the heating base
with water and the eggboiler boils dry. Do not overfill the heating base.
4. Place the egg tray on the steamer base (see Features of Your Design Eggboiler). The
egg tray will only fit in the right orientation. The rim of the egg tray must seat on the
rim of the steamer base and the handles of the egg tray must face the sides. The
steamer base is situated with the On-/Off-switch facing the front. The egg tray must
fit without any gaps and may not move about or tilt.
