About NOSTALGIA

The definition of nostalgia is a yearning for the past. We have a special way of looking into an inventive future while retaining the greatest elements of the past, whether it be the comforting familiarity of our favorite childhood foods, a style from a bygone age, or a memory we have or wish we had.

Since the initial release of our Vintage Hot Air Popcorn Maker, we have kept our goal straightforward: to provide top-notch family entertainment into the daily lives of our customers.

We work hard to provide high-quality, eye-catching items that go above and beyond the usual standards of style and functionality, from early 19th-century American-inspired designs to the timeless attractiveness of our Coca-Cola® appliances.

HELPFUL TIPS

NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.

Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs provide the best results when using your MyMini egg cooker. To determine the freshness of your eggs, fill a large glass with water to the top. One by one, place each egg in the full glass of water.

• Eggs that sink and settle at the bottom of the glass in a horizontal position are the freshest eggs.
• Those eggs that float to the top of the glass are bad eggs.
• Eggs that sink to the bottom of the glass but lie in a more vertical position are still good to eat but are less fresh and need to be eaten as soon as possible.

Cooking Time
Times noted in this manual are for large eggs. Smaller or larger eggs may require less or more cooking time to reach the desired result. Nostalgia MyMini 7 Egg Cooker

Indicator Light
If your indicator light does not illuminate when switched to the ON ( – ) position, check to be sure the unit is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Nostalgia MyMini 7 Egg Cooker

Using Egg White Separator
To separate the egg whites from the yolk, set the separator over a bowl (the included egg bowl works well for this). Crack an egg into the separator and allow the egg whites to pass through into the bowl. The yolk will remain in the separator.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Take care of your MyMini egg cooker by following these simple instructions and precautions.

General cleaning:

1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely.
2. Wipe down the main body and Heating Plate with a damp, non-abrasive cloth.
3. Wash all accessories (egg white separator, measuring cup, egg bowl, egg tray, and lid) in the sink with warm, soapy water.
4. Dry all parts with dry, non-abrasive cloth.

Brown stains on a heating plate:

1. The brown stains on the heating plate are simply residue from usage.
   Allow the heating plate to cool completely to avoid burns.
2. Clean using a paper towel or a dish rag and white vinegar to wipe clean the heating plate.
