Initial Set-up
This will need to be performed BEFORE placing eggs in the incubator!
1. Fill the water tray. Use the slide out tray in the bottom
of the unit to add humidity to the environment.
Keep this tray filled with water throughout
the incubation period to provide humidity.
Since evaporation depends on the
temperature it is advisable to check
the water on a daily basis. Place a
deeper container with water
in the incubator if
daily checks
are not
possible.
replacement part.

2. Set the temperature. Use the 'up arrow' or 'down arrow' buttons
located on the front panel to adjust to incubation temperature. The
'up arrow' button increases the temperature, the 'down arrow"
button will decrease the temperature. The unit will automatically
switch to heating or cooling mode based on the set incubation
temperature.

Important

The temperature display and the setting is an approximate value
and does not 100% represent the actual temperature inside the
unit as the sensor is not directly placed in the incubation area. The
difference between the actual temperature in the incubation area
and the reading on the display depends on the ambient temperature
in the room where the unit is placed. These differences can also vary
depending on the set temperature, the higher the set temperature,
the bigger the variance. Please note that there is also a temperature
variation between the top and the bottom of the unit, with the
digital readout reflecting the uppermost temperature. Monitor this
temperature over a period of 24 hours with a separate thermometer
(optional) to ensure the unit is set and working properly. It is also
recommended to check the temperature at each location of the
incubating eggs.
Temperature deviations shown on the display and the actual setting
are normal. This is due to the functioning of the device as it switches
with a delay of +/- 2°C(3.6°F.) At a setting of 32°C the device will
start heating when the temperature falls to 30°C or 86°F on the
display, and starts cooling when the temperature reaches 34°C or
93.2°F. When using closed boxes or deli cups, the breeding substrate
in it will not vary more then 0.2°C, ensuring a constant incubation
temperature.
Always have the unit operating for a few days to monitor
temperatures before placing the eggs inside of the incubator.
Regular temperature checks are required with a separate calibrated
thermometer as we do not accept ANY claims for loss of eggs or
animals due to the malfunctioning of the unit.
