IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- Read all instructions.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or egg cooker base in water or other liquids.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on and taking off parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or in the event, the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return this appliance to the Presto Factory Service Department for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries. Use only genuine Presto® accessory attachments and replacement parts.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
- Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
Important Cord Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
An extension cord may be used if care is properly exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Egg Cooker Tips
- Always wash hands, surfaces, and utensils that have come in contact with raw eggs.
- Before and after cooking, store eggs on the lower shelf in your refrigerator at a temperature of or below 40°F.
- Check eggs for cracks before cooking. If eggs have superficial cracks, they are best used for poaching or in baking rather than hard-, medium-, or soft-cooking. Cracks in eggs may allow some of the contents to leak out during cooking.
- Piercing eggs before cooking should be avoided. Bacteria can enter the egg if the piercer or needle is not sterile. Additionally, piercing causes superficial cracks in the shell through which bacteria can enter after cooking.
- The eggs are cooked by steam, and it is the amount of water used that determines the cooking time. It may be necessary to adjust the cooking time to achieve the degree of doneness you prefer. Use additional water to increase the cooking time and the doneness of the eggs; use less water to reduce the cooking time.
Care, Cleaning, and Storage
- Always unplug and allow egg cooker to cool before cleaning.
- Wash the cooking tray, poaching trays, measuring cup, and cover in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The cooking tray and poaching trays are dishwashers safe (top rack); however, the measuring cup and cover should NOT be washed in the dishwasher.
- When exposed to steam, some egg shells leave a residue on the surface of the water reservoir. To remove, wash the surface of the reservoir with a damp cloth. If necessary, gently scrub the surface with a nylon mesh pad, such as a Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub sponge. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners. When needed, wipe the egg cooker base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the egg cooker base in water or any other liquid.
- Mineral content in water varies from place to place. In some areas, this may result in the formation of mineral deposits on the surface of the water reservoir. To remove the deposits, pour 1 cup of water and 1 cup of vinegar into the reservoir. Plug in the unit and heat for 10 minutes. Unplug and allow the solution to cool. Pour out a solution. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth, then dry.
- For storage, turn the base over and wrap the cord counterclockwise under the four tabs on the bottom of the base (Fig. D). Then insert the plug prongs into the slots to secure the cord. Turn the base right side up and stack the parts onto the base as follows: poaching trays, cooking tray, measuring cup, and cover. Secure the cover to the base with the latches.
Cooking Guide
For convenience, use the included measuring cup when making eggs. The following guide is a reference for cooking times and water volume, should you need it. The amount of water and times in the cooking guide below are for medium to large eggs that have been removed from refrigeration just prior to cooking. Cooking times may vary depending on household voltage, altitude, and personal preference. If you prefer firmer eggs, allow the eggs to remain in the cooker 1–2 minutes after the buzzer sounds. If eggs are too firm, use slightly less water.
