• Power Cable
• Water Bottle
• Storage Bag

3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your incubator:

1. Place the insulation styrofoam bottom cover on a stable, level surface.
2. Insert the stepped sinks (water container) into the bottom cover.
3. Place the white grid tray on top of the stepped sinks.
4. Position the egg turner tray on the white grid tray. Ensure the rocker of the shaft wheel is inserted into the sliding groove of the egg tray for automatic turning functionality.
5. Carefully place the eggs into the egg turner.
6. Place the incubator cover and host on top, ensuring it is securely seated.
7. Connect the power cable to the incubator and then to a power outlet. The automatic turner will activate briefly upon connection.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Temperature and Humidity Control

The incubator features a digital display for monitoring temperature and humidity. Maintain stable conditions for successful hatching.

Figure 4: Adjustable Humidity Levels and Water Bottle

Use the provided water bottle to add water to the stepped sinks to adjust humidity. The incubator supports three levels of humidity:

• Low humidity: 50%~70%
• Medium humidity: 70%~85%
• High humidity: above 85%

The built-in fan ensures forced air circulation for even heat distribution, which is crucial for embryo development.

4.2 Automatic Egg Turning

The incubator automatically turns eggs every two hours. This feature mimics natural incubation and prevents the embryo from sticking to the shell.

4.3 Egg Candling

Use the built-in LED egg candler to observe the development of the embryo without disturbing the incubation process. This is best done in a dark room.

5. Egg Capacity Guidelines

The incubator can accommodate various types and sizes of poultry eggs. The capacity varies depending on whether the automatic egg turner is used.

Figure 7: Egg Capacity for Various Poultry Eggs

Capacity with Automatic Turner:

• Chicks: 8~12 eggs
• Quails: 24~35 eggs
• Ducks: 8 eggs
• Geese: 1~3 eggs

Capacity with Manual Turning (Turner Removed):

• Chicks: 26~34 eggs
• Quails: 54~68 eggs
• Ducks: 18~22 eggs
• Geese: 8~10 eggs

Note: When placing giant eggs (e.g., goose eggs), ensure at least 1.4 inches of space between the eggs and the ends of the turner to allow for proper rotation. If you remove the turner to hatch more eggs, you must manually turn the eggs at least twice a day.

6. Maintenance and Storage

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your incubator.

• After each incubation cycle, thoroughly clean all components.
• Air-dry all accessories completely before storage.
• Store the incubator and its components in a dry, clean place.
• The included styrofoam insulation helps maintain stable temperatures, especially in cooler environments. Keep it for future use.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your incubator, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Check the power cable connection and ensure the outlet is functional.
• Incorrect Temperature/Humidity: Verify settings and ensure the water reservoir has sufficient water. Consider using an external thermometer/hygrometer for cross-verification.
• Egg Turner Not Functioning: Ensure the shaft wheel is correctly engaged in the egg tray's sliding groove.
• Poor Hatch Rate: Review incubation parameters (temperature, humidity, turning frequency) against recommended values for your specific egg type. Ensure eggs are fertile and stored correctly before incubation.

For persistent issues, refer to the warranty and support information.
