Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Sailnovo 70 Egg Incubator. Please read this manual thoroughly before use to ensure proper function and optimal hatching results. This incubator is designed for efficient hatching with uniform temperature control, precise humidity display, and automatic humidification technology, suitable for various poultry eggs.
Product Features
- Large 70-Egg Capacity: Offers efficient hatching with uniform temperature control, precise humidity display, and automatic humidification technology. Adjustable egg trays and a spacious brooding area make it perfect for hatching poultry eggs, including chicken, duck, goose, quail, pigeon, and turkey eggs. Dimensions: 23.2" x 16.3" x 7.1".
- Stable Temperature & Auto-Humidification: Advanced heating technology and a powerful motor-driven fan ensure consistent temperature and humidity. External water addition and automatic humidification minimize temperature fluctuations from lid opening. Features include auto temperature and auto-humidification, automatic egg turning, alarm system, and LED lighting.
- Automatic Egg Turner & LED Candler: Built-in egg turner rotates eggs every two hours, promoting healthy development and reducing manual intervention for improved hatch rates. Turning automatically stops three days before hatching. An integrated countdown timer helps monitor turning frequency. The built-in LED candler observes the development of fertilized eggs.
- Easy Operation: LED digital display for easy monitoring and adjustment of crucial incubation parameters - temperature, humidity, incubation days, and egg-turning countdown. The alarm function alerts you to any temperature or humidity level issues.
- Clear Visibility: Transparent ABS cover allows for easy observation, making it ideal for educational purposes and production settings. Perfect for schools, homes, farms, and laboratories. The well-designed sealing enhances incubation effectiveness. After the chicks are born, this large incubator can also be used as a warm room for the chicks.

Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain the styrofoam for potential future storage or transport.
- Placement: Place the incubator on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, drafts, or extreme temperature fluctuations. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Water Tank Preparation: Fill the water tanks (A/B/C) at the bottom of the incubator with distilled or demineralized water. For automatic humidification, connect the external water bottle using the provided tube assembly.
- Egg Tray Installation: Ensure the egg trays are properly seated within the incubator.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cable to the incubator and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The digital display will illuminate.
- Pre-heating: Allow the incubator to pre-heat for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably 24 hours, before placing eggs inside. This stabilizes the internal temperature and humidity.

Operating Instructions
Temperature and Humidity Control
The incubator features an LED digital display for monitoring and adjusting key parameters.
- Temperature Setting: Press the "MENU O.K." button once to enter temperature setting mode. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the desired temperature. Press "MENU O.K." again to confirm.
- Humidity Control: The incubator features automatic humidification. Ensure the external water bottle is filled and connected. The humidity indicator will blink during water addition.
- Alarm System: The alarm function will alert you to any significant deviations in temperature or humidity. Refer to the display for specific error codes or indicators.
Automatic Egg Turning
