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 as this appliance.

Troubleshooting

Eggs are overcooked.

• Did you use medium or small eggs? This product works best with large eggs. Follow the water recommendation for one fewer egg than what you are cooking.

Eggs are undercooked.

• Not enough water is added to 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 egg shells. 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 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.
