4. Setup
4.1 Assembly
The incubator is designed for easy assembly. Refer to Figure 2 for a visual guide.
- Carefully unpack all components.
- Assemble the base unit and ensure all connections are secure.
- Place the water tray into the base.
- Install the rolling egg trays. The multi-layer structure allows for stacking additional trays if purchased separately.
- Place the top cover with the control panel onto the assembled unit.
4.2 Water Filling and Humidity
Maintaining proper humidity is crucial for successful hatching.
- Fill the provided water bottles with clean, distilled water.
- Insert the water bottles into the designated ports on the side of the incubator. The automatic water refill system will maintain the water level in the channels of the water tray.
- Monitor the humidity display on the control panel and adjust water levels as needed.
4.3 Egg Placement
The adjustable egg trays accommodate various egg sizes.
- Carefully place the fertilized eggs into the rolling egg trays. Ensure they are positioned correctly for the automatic turning mechanism.
- Adjust the spacing of the egg rollers if necessary to fit different egg sizes (e.g., chicken, duck, goose, quail, parrot, pigeon).
4.4 Power Connection
The incubator supports dual power input.
- Connect the appropriate power cable (110V/220V AC or 12V DC) to the incubator and a suitable power source.
- The dual power feature allows for continuous operation even during power outages if a 12V battery backup is connected.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Initial Power-On and Pre-heating
- After connecting power, the incubator will power on and display current temperature and humidity.
- Allow the incubator to pre-heat for at least 2-4 hours to stabilize the internal temperature and humidity before placing eggs.
5.2 Setting Temperature and Hatch Days
- Temperature Setting: Press the 'Quick Menu' button once. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the desired temperature. Press 'Quick Menu' again to confirm.
- Hatch Days Setting: Press the 'Quick Menu' button twice. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to set the total number of incubation days. Press 'Quick Menu' again to confirm.
5.3 Automatic Egg Turning
The incubator automatically turns eggs to ensure even heating and development.
- The eggs are turned every two hours for optimal development.
- The integrated transmission shaft ensures reliable turning.
- Note: Automatic egg turning should be stopped in the last 4 days of incubation to prepare for hatching.
5.4 Egg Candling
Use the built-in LED candler to check egg development.
- Press and hold the 'Egg Candler' button for 3 seconds to activate the LED light.
- Place an egg over the light to observe the embryo's development and identify infertile or necrotic eggs.
5.5 Resetting for New Incubation
- Before starting a new batch of eggs, reset the incubator by pressing and holding both the 'Temperature Setting' and 'Hatch Days Setting' buttons for 3 seconds.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential for hygiene and optimal performance.
- Unplug the incubator before cleaning.
- The detachable design (refer to Figure 2) makes cleaning convenient. Disassemble the egg trays and water tray.
- Clean all parts with a mild disinfectant solution and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembly.
- Wipe the main unit and control panel with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
6.2 Storage
- When not in use, ensure the incubator is clean and dry.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Keep the original packaging for safe storage and transport.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature not stable/incorrect | Incorrect setting, poor ventilation, external temperature fluctuations | Verify temperature setting. Ensure incubator is in a stable environment. Check fan operation. |
| Humidity too low/high | Insufficient/excessive water, improper ventilation | Adjust water levels in the tray. Ensure water bottles are correctly inserted. Check for proper air circulation. |
| Eggs not turning automatically | Egg turning mechanism off, obstruction, motor issue | Perform an 'Egg Turning Test' (press and hold button for 3 seconds). Check for any obstructions in the egg tray. Ensure the motor is connected. |
| Low hatching rate | Incorrect temperature/humidity, infertile eggs, poor egg quality | Double-check all settings. Use the egg candler to verify embryo development. Ensure fresh, fertile eggs are used. |
| Incubator not powering on | Power cable disconnected, power outage, faulty power supply | Check power connections. Verify power outlet. If using 12V, check battery. Contact support if issue persists. |
