BEFORE FIRST USE

AUTO SHUT SHUT-OFF TIMER
The Elite Gourmet Egg Cooker is designed with a thermal sensor that detects when water has fully evaporate evaporated from the Heating Plate, signaling it to shut off automatically for perfectly cooked eggs and for the alarm to sound.
NOTE: Avoid unplugging the Egg Cooker in the middle of the cooking cycle. If doing so, the Egg Cooker will not shut off completely and will turn back on when the unit is plugged back in next. However, the thermal sensor will detect no water on the Heating Plate and will automatically shut off within 30 30-seconds.

COOKING EGGS
The cooking times listed below are guidelines on how long to cook eggs for desired doneness. The thermal sensor in the Egg Cooker will automatically shut off when the water has completely evaporated and the eggs are done. The Time Chart provided is for Medium to Large eggs.
