in the bigger end of the egg into the egg insert (4) (see the figure).
• Now fill in the required quantity of cold, clear water into the measuring
beaker (13). The quantity of water depends upon the number of eggs to be
boiled and the hardness desired (soft, medium or hard boiled). There are three scales (12) on the
measuring beaker (13) showing how much water to use (indications are in English, German and

fluids other than water. Also, do not add any additives (such as salt) into the water.
• Now pour the water from the measuring beaker (13) into the water tray (11). Take care not to spill
any water on the housing of the motor unit (1)!
