Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This product is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
For more information, refer to the U.S. FDA’s Food Facts “Playing It Safe With Eggs” at http://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/types/eggs/index.html.

According to the FDA:

Thorough cooking is perhaps the most important step in making sure eggs are safe. Cook eggs until both yolk and white are firm. Scrambled eggs should not be runny.
Casseroles and other dishes containing eggs should be cooked to 160°F (72°C). Use a food thermometer to be sure.
For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella by pasteurization or another approved method, or use pasteurized egg products.

Choose the number of large eggs you want to cook and locate type of cooked egg you want on the Water Measuring Cup. Fill with cold water to that line.
NOTE: This product works best for large eggs. Adjust the amount of water for other sizes of eggs.

Remove Lid. With oven mitts, lift the Egg Holder with eggs by the handles.
WARNING: Burn Hazard. Always use oven mitts to protect your hands when opening the egg cooker. Escaping steam can burn.
Gently lower eggs into cold water. Remove eggs from water when eggs are cooled. Refrigerate eggs or serve immediately.

Troubleshooting

Eggs are overcooked.

Have you used medium or small eggs? This product works best with large eggs. Follow the water recommendation for one less egg than what you are cooking.

Eggs are undercooked.

Not enough water was in the Water Reservoir. Add additional water.
Did you use extra-large or jumbo eggs? This product works best with large eggs.

Eggs are slightly brown on the shell after cooking.

Different types of water may discolor eggshells. Eggs are safe to eat.

Eggs are difficult to peel.

Very fresh eggs can be difficult to peel. It is easiest to peel eggs that have been refrigerated for 1 week to 10 days. To peel an egg, crack the shell all over by gently tapping the egg on a table or countertop. Roll the egg between your hands to loosen the shell. Then peel off the shell, starting at the large end. Hold the egg under running water or dip it in water to make peeling easier.
