FAQs
Can I steam vegetables other than asparagus?
Yes, you can steam various small vegetables that fit comfortably on the steaming tray, provided they do not exceed the cooking time of the eggs.
Does the unit turn off automatically?
Yes, the device is designed with safety features that include an automatic shut-off function once the water has fully evaporated from the heating plate.
How do I avoid mineral buildup on the heating plate?
Wipe the plate clean after every use. For stubborn buildup, use a mild descaling solution or a mix of water and white vinegar.
Can I cook fewer than 7 eggs at a time?
Yes, you can cook anywhere from 1 to 7 eggs; simply adjust the water amount according to the instructions to ensure they are cooked perfectly.
Is the lid dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the lid and accessories to maintain their clarity and structural integrity over time.
Troubleshooting
Eggs are consistently undercooked or overcooked
Ensure you are using the provided measuring cup correctly and that the water level matches the 'doneness' markers on the cup.
Eggs are cracking during the boiling process
Always use the included egg piercer to make a small hole in the larger end of the egg before placing it into the tray.
Buzzer does not sound when finished
Verify that the unit is fully plugged in and that the power switch is in the 'On' position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: place the unit on a flat, heat-resistant surface, ensure the needle on the base is clean, and plug the device into a standard power outlet. For maintenance, it is essential to wipe down the heating plate with a damp cloth after every use to remove residue. If mineral deposits accumulate, a mixture of vinegar and water can be used to gently descale the base. All removable plastic trays are designed for easy cleaning, but they should be washed with warm, soapy water and dried thoroughly before being stored inside or on top of the base unit.
