Caratteristiche principali:

• Patented Universal Egg Holders: Accommodates 0-49 standard eggs or up to 196 small eggs (e.g., quail).
• Semi-Automatic Egg Turning: Features an external lever for manual egg tilting, requiring only a few seconds, 3-4 times daily. An automatic turning motor can be added later.
• External Water Refilling: Water trays can be refilled from outside the incubator, minimizing humidity loss.
• Ventilated Thermal Insulation: A silent turbine fan ensures uniform temperature and humidity distribution within the incubator, creating a warm air barrier.
• Artificial Intelligence Control: Sophisticated electronic temperature control maintains a constant microclimate with 0.1 °C precision, adapting to external environmental temperatures for optimal embryonic development.

2. Avvertenze di sicurezza

Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating the Borotto REAL 49 incubator. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the device.

• Ensure the incubator is placed on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, drafts, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Do not operate the incubator with a damaged power cord or plug. If the cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified service agent.
• Keep the incubator out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not immerse the incubator in water or any other liquid. Clean only with a damp cloth as instructed in the Maintenance section.
• Always unplug the incubator from the power outlet before cleaning, performing maintenance, or when not in use.
• Use only the power source specified for this appliance.
• This appliance is intended for domestic use for incubating eggs. Do not use it for any other purpose.

3. Impostazione

3.1 Disimballaggio e ispezione

1. Rimuovere con attenzione tutti i componenti dalla confezione.
2. Verify that all parts are present: incubator unit, power cable, and instruction manual.
3. Inspect the incubator for any signs of damage during transit. If any damage is found, do not proceed with setup and contact customer support.

3.2 Posizionamento

Place the incubator in a room with a stable ambient temperature, ideally between 20°C and 25°C (68°F and 77°F). Avoid locations with direct sunlight, drafts, or significant temperature fluctuations, as these can negatively impact incubation results.

3.3 Egg Placement

The Borotto REAL 49 features patented universal egg holders designed to accommodate various egg sizes. Place the eggs vertically in the designated slots, with the pointed end facing downwards. This vertical positioning is crucial for optimal embryonic development and higher hatching rates.

3.4 Initial Water Filling

Before starting the incubation process, fill the internal water trays. The incubator is equipped with convenient external filling spouts. Carefully pour distilled or demineralized water into these spouts until the trays are adequately filled. This external filling method helps maintain stable humidity levels by avoiding the need to open the incubator lid.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1 Accensione e impostazione della temperatura

1. Plug the power cable into a suitable electrical outlet. The digital display will illuminate, showing the current internal temperature.
2. The incubator's sophisticated electronic control system is pre-calibrated to maintain optimal incubation temperatures. Refer to the specific temperature requirements for the type of eggs you are incubating.
3. If adjustment is needed, consult the detailed temperature adjustment procedure in the full manual (not provided here, but implied by "sophisticated electronic control").

4.2 Semi-Automatic Egg Turning

The semi-automatic egg turning system requires manual operation of an external lever. This mechanism gently tilts the eggs, mimicking natural turning behavior essential for preventing the embryo from sticking to the shell and ensuring proper development.

1. Locate the red lever on the side of the incubator.
2. To turn the eggs, gently push or pull the lever to tilt the egg trays.
3. Perform this action at least 3 to 4 times per day. Each turning cycle takes approximately 1 second.
4. Ensure the eggs are tilted in both directions over the course of the day.

4.3 Humidity Management

Maintaining correct humidity is vital for successful hatching. The external water filling system allows for easy replenishment without disturbing the internal environment.

• Regularly check the water levels in the external spouts.
• Refill with distilled or demineralized water as needed, typically daily or every other day, depending on ambient humidity and egg type.
• Avoid overfilling, which can lead to excessive humidity.

5. Manutenzione

5.1 Pulizia

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene, especially after each incubation cycle.

1. Always unplug the incubator before cleaning.
2. Remove all egg trays and internal components. Wash them with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
3. Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces of the incubator with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild disinfectant suitable for plastics can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp stoffa.
4. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and storing or reusing the incubator.

5.2 Conservazione

When not in use, store the incubator in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to store it in its original packaging to protect it from dust and damage.
