Allen, who forgive bad reviews here, I recommend reading the instructions for use.
Incidentally, the following points must be observed when operating the device in order to provide satisfactory results:
1. Eggs must always inserted at the wide end and be inserted with the opening upwards, otherwise they burst.
2. The hardness of the eggs will not be controlled by the amount of water, but set the control dial. The measuring cup must always be completely full, even if there is imprinted a scale for different degrees of hardness (halt any of the measuring cups are produced for this egg cooker!). Like other egg boiler serviced, but is completely irrelevant. As Audi driver I finally can not argue that the VW reverse gear is otherwise engaged.
3. There must be sufficient water be present, because here on the heat transfer takes place to the egg. That some water remains, is this machine normal because the cooking time is not regulated by the amount of water (see point 2). To pour off the excess water, just the cool down period must be respected.
4. Who is so deaf know that he no longer hears the alarm, should generally stay away from the unit or remain constantly stand by.
5. The fact that metals conduct heat and hot steam, should be common knowledge.
6. calcium deposits are common, but can be easily removed with vinegar (possibly unit on briefly so that the plate warms).
