4. Setup

Follow these steps for initial setup of your incubator:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts listed in the package contents are present.
2. Placement: Place the incubator on a stable, level surface in a room with a consistent ambient temperature (ideally between 20-25°C / 68-77°F). Avoid direct sunlight or drafts.
3. Water Addition: Locate the water filling hole. Use the provided water bottle to add water to the water channels at the bottom of the incubator. Ensure the water level is adequate to maintain humidity. Do not overfill.
4. Egg Trays: Ensure the egg turning trays are correctly installed. The incubator comes with trays designed to hold up to 24 standard chicken/duck eggs.

5. Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the incubator and then plug it into a 110V grounded electrical outlet. The digital display will light up.
6. Pre-heating: Allow the incubator to run for at least 20-30 minutes to stabilize the internal temperature and humidity before placing eggs inside.

5. Operating Instructions

Operating the incubator involves setting the correct parameters and monitoring the hatching process.

5.1 Setting Temperature and Humidity

• The incubator comes with factory default settings. For most chicken eggs, the ideal temperature is around 37.5°C (99.5°F).
• To adjust the temperature, press the 'Setting' key. Use the 'Adding' (+) and 'Decreasing' (-) keys to set the desired temperature. Press 'Setting' again to confirm.
• Humidity is maintained by adding water to the channels. The ideal humidity for most eggs is 50-60% during incubation and 65-75% during the last 3 days (hatching period). Monitor the humidity display and add water as needed.

5.2 Placing Eggs

• Once the incubator has stabilized, carefully place fertilized eggs into the egg turning trays. Ensure the larger end of the egg is slightly elevated.
• Close the lid securely.

5.3 Automatic Egg Turning

• The incubator is equipped with an automatic egg turning mechanism that rotates the eggs every 2 hours. This is crucial for preventing the embryo from sticking to the shell and for proper development.
• You do not need to manually turn the eggs during the incubation period.

5.4 Hatching Period

• Approximately 3 days before the expected hatch date (e.g., day 18 for chicken eggs), remove the egg turning trays.
• Place the eggs directly on the grid at the bottom of the incubator.
• Increase the humidity to 65-75% by adding more water to the channels.
• Do not open the incubator frequently during hatching, as this can cause temperature and humidity drops, negatively impacting the hatch.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your incubator.

• Cleaning: After each hatch, unplug the incubator and allow it to cool. Remove the egg trays and bottom grid. Clean all surfaces with a mild disinfectant solution and a soft cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly or storage.
• Water Channels: Regularly clean the water channels to prevent algae or bacterial growth.
• Storage: When not in use, store the incubator in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
