Place the incubator on a flat table higher than 500 mm from the floor.
Do not place other objects between the incubator and the surface, such as table cloths or blankets that might
obstruct the aeration holes at the base of the incubator.
Remove the cover plate and lay it next to the incubator.
Remove the bottom plastic hatching grate, which is not used at the moment (it is only used in hatching, i.e. for
NEVER LEAVE IT IN THE INCUBATOR DURING THE INCUBATION PERIOD!
the last 3 days).
E
nsure the egg supports are well positioned in their seats and that the steel tab of the egg turning motor is
properly inserted in the slot of the egg support, i.e. the plastic of the egg support must be inserted onto the
steel tab.
Fill one of the nozzles at the outer base of the incubator (either one) with drinking water, pouring the water
slowly.
Use the 2 "DUST STOP" antimicrobial caps to close the 2 water filling nozzles (4-Fig.1).
NOTE: THESE 2 CAPS MUST NEVER BE REMOVED DURING INCUBATION. THEY MUST ONLY BE REMOVED FOR
THE TIME REQUIRED TO FILL WATER AND MUST BE CLOSED AGAIN!
Replace the cover plate, ensuring the rim of the incubator's lower part perfectly meshes with the duct in the
cover plate base. The small half-moon slit on the upper edge of the base is used to insert the SIRIO automatic
humidifier sensor cable, if this accessory is used.
Insert the power supply connector in the outlet on the incubator's control cover (12-Fig. 5), connect power supply
by inserting the plug into a normal socket outlet. Ventilation will start immediately, the internal temperature will
then be displayed.
Should the fan not work, immediately unplug the appliance and contact the service.
ATTENTION
:
To set the temperature, use the (+) and (-) buttons on the upper control panel (9-Fig. 4). Press one of the two
buttons to access the Program (the letter "P" will appear next to the degrees). Keep pressing until the desired
temperature is obtained. Once the temperature has been set, wait for it to be stored. Wait a few seconds for the
current internal temperature and the letter "C" to be displayed.
NOTE: leave the incubator on while empty for minimum 2-3 hours before putting any eggs in order to stabilise
the temperature and humidity (the incubator must operate without any eggs).
After ensuring the incubator works properly, remove the cover plate and lay it next to the incubator. Gently place
the eggs in the cells with the tip downwards. Close the incubator again.
Insert the small connector of the egg turning unit cable (14-Fig. 6) into the socket on the cover (13-Fig. 5).
The egg turning motor will then start turning at variable times.
NOTE: egg turning unit movement is managed by a programmed microprocessor to regularly change the tilt time,
always varying the tilt degree of the eggs differently, exactly as it happens inside a nest. Therefore, there is no
need to worry if the motor starts at different times and tilts in different positions; this operation has been
specifically designed.
The incubation cycle now starts. It is advisable to mark the day on a calendar and follow the instructions of the
table below.
Check the water level on a daily basis, and top it up with clean drinking water using the suitable filling nozzles.
The water level, which may be seen in the filling nozzle, coincides with the one inside the tray. Humidity is
generated by the water surface produced and not by its quantity. Therefore, whether the level of water in the tray
is minimum, half way or full, the humidity in the incubator will always be the same!
