This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and efficient operation of your Sailnovo 24 Eggs Incubator. Please read this manual thoroughly before use to ensure optimal performance and successful hatching results.

Key Features:

• 24-Egg Capacity with 4 Hatching Modes: Features 3 smart auto-modes (Chicken, Duck, Quail) for precise temperature and timing, plus a Manual Mode for custom settings.
• User-Friendly Digital Panel: 360° clear panoramic window and digital display show real-time temperature, humidity, and countdown days.
• Stable Temperature: Advanced circulation fan system ensures consistent temperature. Includes styrofoam for insulation in cold climates.
• Effortless Humidity Control: External A/B water ports and an air vent allow humidity adjustment without opening the lid. Features a smart humidity alarm.
• Built-In Egg Turner & Candler: Automatic egg turning every 2 hours prevents embryo sticking and stops near hatch day. Integrated top candling light for monitoring egg development.
• Memory Backup Feature: Automatically resumes operation from where it left off after a power interruption.

3. Setup Instructions

1. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage. Keep the styrofoam base as it provides insulation.
2. Clean the Incubator: Before first use, clean all parts of the incubator with a mild disinfectant solution and wipe dry. Ensure no water enters the electronic components.
3. Assemble the Egg Tray: Place the egg turning tray onto the base.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the incubator's power port and then into a suitable electrical outlet.
5. Add Water for Humidity:
   • Locate the external water filling ports (A and B) on the side of the incubator base.
   • For initial setup and during the first 18 days of incubation, fill water pot A with water (approximately 100ml) using the provided watering can. Ensure the water level does not exceed the highest water mark.
   • During days 19-21 (or the last 3 days of incubation), fill both water pots A and B with water (approximately 600ml) to increase humidity for hatching.

6. Pre-heat the Incubator: Allow the incubator to run for at least 20-30 minutes to stabilize temperature and humidity before placing eggs.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Selecting Incubation Mode

The incubator offers 4 modes: Chicken, Duck, Quail, and Manual. The default mode is Chicken.

1. Factory Reset (if needed): Press and hold the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously for 2-3 seconds until the display resets.
2. Choose Mode: Press the "Turn" button (often labeled with an egg icon) once to cycle through the modes (Chicken, Duck, Quail, Manual). The corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
3. Confirm Mode: Once your desired mode is selected, press and hold the "Menu/OK" button for 3 seconds until the number of days for that mode is displayed.

4.2 Manual Mode Temperature Adjustment

If you select Manual Mode, you can adjust the temperature to your desired value:

1. In Manual Mode, the temperature number on the screen will flash.
2. Use the "+" or "-" buttons to adjust the temperature.
3. Once set, press and hold the "Menu/OK" button for 3 seconds to save the settings. The display will show "OK DAY" and the incubation process will start.

4.3 Temperature and Humidity Guidelines:

Refer to the Incubation Record Card for recommended temperature and humidity settings for different egg types and stages:

Image: The incubator's digital display provides accurate real-time temperature and humidity readings, crucial for monitoring the incubation process.

Image: The automatic temperature control system uses internal airflow to maintain a stable and consistent temperature throughout the incubator.

4.4 Adjusting Humidity with Air Vent

During incubation, if the humidity displayed on the screen is too low or too high, you can adjust it by opening or closing the grey air vent. It is recommended to keep the grey air vent closed from Day 1 until the last 3 days before hatch day.

4.5 Automatic Egg Turning

The incubator features an automatic egg turning mechanism that rotates eggs every 2 hours. This prevents embryos from sticking to the shell and ensures even development. The automatic turning function will stop approximately 3 days before the expected hatch date.

Image: The automatic egg turning mechanism ensures eggs are rotated regularly, stopping automatically in the last 3 days for easier hatching.

4.6 Egg Candling Function

Use the built-in top candling light to monitor the development of the embryos without disturbing the incubation process. Press the candling button (often labeled with a light bulb icon) once to activate the light. Press it again to turn it off.

4.7 Spraying Eggs

From the 15th day of hatching, it is recommended to spray water on the eggs with a kettle once a day. This helps to soften the eggshells and assist in the hatching process. For more detailed operations, please refer to the instruction manual.

5. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your incubator and ensure hygienic conditions for hatching.

1. Cleaning:
   • After each hatch, unplug the incubator and allow it to cool.
   • Remove the egg tray and any remaining eggshells or debris.
   • Wipe down all surfaces with a mild disinfectant solution. Ensure no liquid enters the control panel or motor area. Use the provided rubber plug to seal the motor opening during cleaning if necessary.
   • Rinse removable parts with clean water and allow them to air dry completely before reassembly.
2. Storage: Store the incubator in a clean, dry place when not in use.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your incubator, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Temperature Fluctuations: Ensure the incubator is placed in a stable environment away from drafts or direct sunlight. Check that the styrofoam insulation is correctly in place.
• Humidity Too Low/High: Adjust water levels in channels A/B and use the grey air vent as described in Section 4.4.
• Eggs Not Turning: Verify the egg turning motor is properly connected and the egg tray is correctly installed. Perform a manual egg turning test (refer to Section 4.5).
• Power Interruption: The incubator has a memory backup feature and should resume previous settings once power is restored.
• Alarm Sounds: Check the display for error codes or indicators (e.g., low humidity alarm) and address the underlying issue.
