6C – TEMPERATURE SETTING AND ADJUSTMENT
To set and adjust the temperature press the (+) and (-) buttons on the control panel. Press one of the two buttons to enter the Programme Mode
(the display shows a "P" beside the temperature). Press and release (+) or (-) to set the desired temperature. This will be memorized after a few
seconds (the display will show the present internal temperature and the letter "C").

Once the new temperature is set, allow the machine to stabilize and check optimum temperature is attained. If you increase it, the resistor will
activate (the LED will be on) heating the air until the temperature is reached. If you decrease it, the resistor will remain inactive (the led will be off)
to allow the air inside the incubator to cool.
H)
Run the machine empty (without eggs) for at least 2-3 hours in order to stabilize temperature and humidity.
I)
After ensuring that the machine functions correctly remove the lid and place it beside the
incubator. Gently place the eggs into the tray cradles, their point downwards. Replace
the lid.
Only for art. 512/A: start the egg turning unit by plugging it into a suitable socket; the supply voltage of the electrical system must be suitable for
the incubator's voltage. Ensure that your hands are not wet while performing this operation. The unit will start working. The egg tray executes one
tilting every two hours. Note: its movement is scarcely noticeable as it is very slow.
One hour after starting the unit
Do not cover the incubator or keep it in a box whilst in use. This would prevent the air
exchange in the incubator, necessary for the embryo development that takes place through the
ventilation holes present in the base of the incubator and through the two inspection windows.
The incubation cycle starts now. Mark the date on a calendar and follow the instructions shown on table 4C "Information For A Correct
Incubation".
