Cooking eggs
➪ Pick a hole in the top or bottom side of the egg
with the egg pick u . This allows the air contained
inside the egg to dissipate as it expands during
boiling. This prevents the shell from bursting open.
➪ Place the eggs on the egg holder
w with the
picked side up.
➪ Fill the measuring cup
y with the required
amount of water. The amount of water depends
on the number of eggs and the desired degree
of hardness.
Explanation of the symbols on the measuring cup:
hard
medium
soft
Note:
Depending on the size of the egg, to obtain the des-
ired hardness you may need to vary the volume of
water used from that detailed by the scale markings
on the measuring cup
y .
If the egg is too soft, use a little more water (about
one mark on the measuring scale). The cooking time
will be extended. The egg will be harder.
If the egg is too hard, use a little less water the next
time (about one mark on the measuring scale). The
cooking time will be shortened. The egg will be softer.
➪ Now pour the water into the cooking bowl e .
➪ Place the egg holder
w in the cooking bowl e
and place the lid q on top.
➪ Press the operating switch r to the left (position
" ") to turn the appliance on for cooking.
The integrated control lamp glows.
As soon as the eggs are cooked, a signal sounds.

water.
