5. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
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) and away from direct sunlight or drafts.
3. Add Water: Locate the humidifying sponge. Moisten the sponge with clean, distilled water and place it in its designated slot within the incubator. Ensure water does not spill onto electronic components.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into the incubator's power port, then into a suitable electrical outlet. The digital display should illuminate.
5. Pre-heat: Allow the incubator to pre-heat for at least 2-3 hours to stabilize the internal temperature before placing eggs inside.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Setting Temperature

• The digital display shows the current internal temperature.
• Press the 'Set' button (often represented by a gear icon) to enter temperature adjustment mode.
• Use the '+' and '-' buttons to increase or decrease the target temperature. Refer to specific egg type requirements for optimal hatching temperatures (e.g., chicken eggs typically require 37.5°C / 99.5°F).
• Press 'Set' again to confirm the new temperature. The incubator will automatically adjust to the set temperature.

6.2. Placing Eggs

• Ensure eggs are clean and fertile.
• Carefully place eggs into the designated slots on the blister tray. Ensure they are positioned correctly for automatic turning.
• Close the transparent lid securely.

6.3. Automatic Egg Turning

• The incubator is equipped with an automatic egg turning mechanism. This feature typically operates every 2 hours.
• Do not manually turn the eggs once the automatic turning is active, as this may interfere with the mechanism.
• Stop automatic turning 3 days before the expected hatch date to allow chicks to position themselves for hatching.

6.4. Candling Eggs

• The built-in LED candler allows you to observe the embryo development.
• To use, gently lift an egg and place it over one of the LED lights.
• Observe for signs of development, such as blood vessels or a visible embryo. Remove infertile or non-developing eggs to prevent contamination.

7. Maintenance

7.1. Cleaning

• After each hatch, unplug the incubator and allow it to cool completely.
• Remove the blister tray and clean it with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
• Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces of the incubator with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild disinfectant.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the incubator.

7.2. Water Refill
