For "normal size" hens eggs, between 6 and 8 minutes is fine (shorter time for older eggs).

We have a special electrical egg steamer with numbers of eggs marked on the side of a small measuring pot used to add water at the start. (When it boils, the steam escapes through a small hole).
The amount of water added is more for harder eggs (there are three scales: soft, medium and hard), but each scale has the larger number of eggs with LEAST water used, because extra eggs take up more volume inside the (fixed-volume) container... Takes a while getting used to it. Anyone else got one? If I find an internet link I'll add it later.
pick the correct scale, and fill to the the number of eggs you have in the cooker, 1 requires more water than 7 because the eggs sit partly in the water. The "timer" is based upon the evaporation of the water over time, the fewer eggs, the less displacement in the water pool, but also easier for water vapor to escape.
Ignore the instruction manual. Instead look at the measuring cup that comes with your Hyundai PLU 247959 (produced and sold under license by Poundstretcher). On the side of the measuring cup, you can see three clusters of marks:1. 25 to 40 ml for soft-boiled eggs (symbol of egg with two horizontal lines)2. 45 to 60 ml for medium boiled eggs (symbol of egg with one horizontal line)3. 65 to 80 ml for hard boiled eggs (symbol of egg) Egg boilers are based on the principle that the larger the volume to be heated is, the less water is required. In other words, you will need to add less water for boiling seven eggs, and more water for boiling one or two eggs. Which means that for seven eggs to soft boil, add 25 ml; and for one egg to soft boil, add 40 ml. If you look at the markings, you'll notice that on the vertical line between 40 and 25 ml, there are seven equidistant horizontal lines, each showing the amount of water required for the various quantities of eggs. One egg = fill with water up to the 40 ml markTwo eggs = fill up to the mark below the 40 ml markThree eggs = fill up to the second mark below the 40 ml markFour eggs = fill up to the third mark below the 40 ml mark etc, untilSeven eggs = fill up to the 25 ml mark Medium boiled and hard boiled eggs are measured in similar ways. Works every time for me. Nice little egg boiler, by the way.
