A015 GB Issue 05 Introduction These instructions detail the operation of your new Mini Eco incubator. Please read these instructions carefully before setting up your machine to achieve best results and keep these instructions safe for future reference. This document includes recommended procedures for successful hatching but incubation involves the control and manipulation of a large number of factors and in certain circumstances different procedures may be necessary.
Water Pot Guard Please identify each part and check that they are all present and undamaged. If there are any parts damaged or missing please contact your retailer or Brinsea Products (at the address at the end of the document).
Discard cracked, mis-shaped and heavily soiled eggs (if possible). Only wash soiled eggs using a brand egg wash solution such as Brinsea Incubation Disinfectant Concentrate following the manufacturer’s instructions. It is essential to wash eggs in solution which is significantly warmer than the egg. Bear in mind that all solutions will remove the outer cuticle from the egg as well as the dirt and may leave the egg at greater risk from bacterial contamination in the future.
6 Egg Setting The Mini Eco is designed to accommodate eggs of different sizes up to duck eggs. Some experimentation may be necessary to maximise capacity. Before setting eggs ensure that the incubator has been run for several hours and has stabilised at the correct temperature.
NOT USE A DISHWASHER TO CLEAN TRAYS, INCUBATOR BASE OR LID. Following each hatch in the Mini Eco wash the base in Brinsea Incubation Disinfectant Solution. Wipe all other internal surfaces with a soft cloth soaked in the solution. Ensure that the instructions supplied with the fluid are followed.
If the problem persists contact your distributor or Brinsea Products Service Dept. 10.2 The functional parts of the Mini Eco are modular and parts are available and are readily exchanged by a suitably qualified person equipped with basic tools. Fitting instructions are supplied with replacement parts.
