5. Setup

1. Placement: Place the incubator on a flat, stable surface in a room with a consistent ambient temperature (ideally between 20°C and 25°C). Avoid areas with direct sunlight, drafts, or significant temperature fluctuations.
2. Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the power socket on the incubator and then plug it into a standard 110V electrical outlet.
3. Pre-heating: Turn on the incubator using the 'Switch' button. Allow the incubator to run for at least 30 minutes to an hour without eggs to stabilize the internal temperature and humidity. This also allows you to verify the display and controls are functioning correctly.
4. Water Filling for Humidity: Locate the water channels at the bottom of the incubator. Carefully add warm water (distilled water is recommended to prevent mineral buildup) into these channels. Do not overfill. Maintain appropriate humidity levels throughout the incubation period by regularly checking and refilling the water channels.
5. Egg Placement: Once the incubator has stabilized, carefully place up to 56 eggs into the egg trays. Ensure eggs are clean and free from cracks. For optimal turning, place eggs with the larger end slightly elevated.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On and Initial Settings

1. After setup, press the 'Switch' button to power on the incubator. The 'Record Screen' will illuminate, displaying the current temperature, humidity, and incubation day.
2. To adjust the target temperature, press the 'Set Key'. The temperature display will flash. Use the 'Temperature Adjustment +' and '-' buttons to set your desired temperature (range: 20°C to 40°C). Press 'Set Key' again to confirm.
3. The incubator will automatically begin heating to the set temperature.

6.2 Automatic Egg Turning

The incubator is equipped with an automatic egg turning mechanism to ensure even heat distribution and prevent the embryo from sticking to the shell.

• The motor automatically turns the eggs for 10 seconds every 2 hours.
• The 'Countdown' display shows the time remaining until the next turn.

6.3 Humidity Control

Maintaining proper humidity is crucial for successful hatching. The incubator monitors internal humidity.

• Monitor the humidity level on the 'Record Screen'.
• Adjust humidity by adding or removing water from the water channels at the bottom of the incubator. Refer to specific egg type requirements for optimal humidity ranges.
• The incubator features an intelligent temperature and humidity alarm system. If either parameter exceeds or falls below preset thresholds, an alarm will activate.

6.4 Using the LED Candler

The built-in LED candler allows you to inspect the development of the embryo without disturbing the eggs excessively.

• Press the 'Light Egg' button to activate the LED candler.
• Carefully place an egg over the light source to observe the internal contents.
• Turn off the candler when not in use to conserve energy.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• Always unplug the incubator before cleaning.
• Wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild disinfectant solution after each hatch.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing or reusing the incubator.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse electrical components in water.

7.2 Storage

• Store the incubator in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
