3. Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your incubator for the first time:

1. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the incubator for any signs of damage during transit.
2. Placement: Place the incubator on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, drafts, or extreme temperature fluctuations. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Assemble Water Bottle: Connect the provided water bottle to the automatic water replenishment system. Ensure the bottle is filled with clean, distilled water to maintain optimal humidity levels. The external automatic water supply bottle ensures consistent and optimal water level.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into the incubator and then into a suitable electrical outlet. The display should light up.
5. Pre-heating: Allow the incubator to run for at least 2-3 hours before placing eggs inside. This allows the internal temperature to stabilize and ensures the automatic temperature control system is functioning correctly.

4. Operating Instructions

Operating the WONEGG incubator is straightforward, thanks to its automated features:

1. Egg Placement: Once the incubator has stabilized its temperature, carefully place fertilized eggs onto the egg turning tray. Ensure eggs are clean and free from cracks. The incubator is designed for 12 standard chicken eggs or a larger number of smaller eggs like quail eggs.
2. Automatic Egg Turning: The incubator features an automatic egg turning function, simulating the natural behavior of a mother hen. This ensures even heating and development of the embryo. The eggs will be gently rotated at regular intervals.
3. Temperature Control: The advanced digital temperature control system enables precise temperature regulation and control. The turbofan with circular arrangement of blades ensures more uniform airflow, maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the incubator. Monitor the digital display to ensure the temperature remains at the recommended level for your specific egg type.
4. Humidity Management: The automatic water replenishment system connected to the external water bottle will maintain the necessary humidity levels. Regularly check the water level in the external bottle and refill as needed.
5. Observation: The transparent design allows for 360-degree observation of the eggs and chicks without opening the incubator. This is both educational and fun, allowing you to observe the daily growth journey of chicks.
6. Hatching Period: As the hatching date approaches, typically around day 18 for chickens, stop the automatic egg turning function (refer to specific instructions on the control panel if available, otherwise, this model might not have a manual stop button for turning). Increase humidity if necessary.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your incubator:

• Cleaning: After each hatch, unplug the incubator and allow it to cool. Clean all internal surfaces with a mild disinfectant solution and a soft cloth. Ensure all components are completely dry before reassembly or storage.
• Water Bottle: Regularly clean the water bottle and its connection tube to prevent algae or bacterial growth.
• Storage: When not in use, store the incubator in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original foam packaging, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
