6. CLEANING AND STORAGE
You can leave the appliance out on the kitchen work surface.
Always unplug the appliance when not in use.
You can wash the lid, the cooking rack and the poached egg
dish in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher (in the top tray
only).
Clean the heating plate with a cloth moistened with a
spoonful of white vinegar. This will prevent any limescale
deposits building up from minerals in the water and will also
act as an anti-bacterial agent. You can also clean the heating
plate using a damp sponge or cloth.
NOTE: If the appliance is not cleaned with white vinegar (see
above) on a regular basis, deposits from the minerals
in the water will build up and cause discoloration of
eggshells. This discoloration however, will not affect
the taste of the eggs.
Wipe main base of the appliance with a damp cloth.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUID
Place the clean cooking rack, poaching dish, measuring
beaker and egg holders on top of one another inside the
housing before storing.
