Important cord information

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, there is only one way

this plug is intended to ﬁt into a polarized outlet. If the plug does

not completely ﬁt 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) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord)

is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled

in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are

available and may be used if they are used carefully.

c) If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is

used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply

cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the

electrical rating of the appliance;

2) If the appliance has a grounded plug, the cord set or exten-

sion cord should also be a grounded 3-wire cord; and

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape

over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on

by children or tripped over.

side up.

♦ Fill the measuring cup up to the MAX marking with tap

water and pour this water into the cooking bowl .

♦ Place the cooking insert into the cooking bowl and place

the lid on top.

The preprogrammed cooking times relate to average-sized eggs

(size M/L) at a temperature of around 7 °C (44.6 °F, refrigerator

temperature).

♦ Turn the control switch to the position that corresponds to

the desired egg ﬁrmness (see the symbols to the right of the

control):

SED 400 A2

drain.

SED 400 A2 US-EN │ 11 ■

Boiling eggs to diﬀerent degrees of ﬁrmness

You can boil eggs to two diﬀerent degrees of ﬁrmness in the appli-

ance. It will always reach the softest level ﬁrst. For reliable results,

all the eggs must be of the same size and have the same starting

temperature.

For the ﬁrst cooking process, the symbols to the right of

the control apply.

For the second cooking process, the symbols to the left of

the control apply.

level, a beep will be heard. To turn the appliance oﬀ, set the

operating switch to the "O" position.

The integrated control lamp turns oﬀ.

♦ Then take oﬀ the lid and carefully remove the desired number

of eggs (those that have been cooked to the softer ﬁrmness

level).

The boiled eggs are very hot! Always wear oven gloves to protect

your ﬁngers when touching the eggs. Risk of burns!

Shock the removed eggs under cold, ﬂowing water.
