I have the Borotto real 49 automatic plus. Last year I didn’t have any luck hatching eggs in, so I decided to try again this year. My problem is it doesn’t keep the temperature I have it set for 99.7, and every time I check it, it is 102. Plus real hard to keep the humidity up with both sides filled. I thought this would me a up grade for me but my old styrofoam one worked better. Any help would be appreciated.

To fix temperature and humidity issues with the Borotto Real 49 Automatic Plus incubator:
1. Temperature Adjustment: - Set the temperature to 37.7°C at the start of incubation. - Reduce the temperature to 37.2°C during the last three days before hatching.
2. Humidity Control: - Ensure proper humidity levels by adjusting the water surface area inside the incubator rather than the water quantity. - Use the SIRIO automatic humidifier, recommended by Borotto, for continuous humidity control.
3. Ventilation: - Do not cover the incubator with blankets or place it in a closed box, as it needs to exchange air through the built-in windows to prevent embryo asphyxiation.
4. Egg Positioning: - Rotate the eggs every 5 days, swapping those in the center with those on the sides to ensure even hatching.
Following these steps will help maintain the correct temperature and humidity levels for successful incubation.

The embryo begins developing before incubation and, therefore, it needs proper care, otherwise there will be a decrease in the hatching percentage. Below are some rules that will be helpful in obtaining suitable eggs for incubation: Collect the eggs at least 5 times a day to prevent environmental contamination. Never incubate eggs that have been at a temperature lower than 5°C or higher than 24°C.
7.2 - Use Place the incubator on a flat table. Do not place other objects between the product and the surface, such as table cloths or blankets, that might obstruct the aeration holes. 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.
Check water level on a daily basis, and top it up with clean and lukewarm water using the suitable filling nozzles. The water level that may be seen in the filling nozzles coincides with the internal level in the trays. Humidity is generated by the water surface not its quantity, therefore the moisture content in the incubator will always be the same, whether the water level in the tray is minimum, half or full! ATTENTION: do not cover the incubator with blankets for any reason nor close it in a box thinking this will lead to...
Otherwise, the incubated eggs may be periodically inspected by candling. This operation must be performed in a dark room, using a concentrated beam of light (the egg candler is available on the website www.borotto.com), following the table below:...
This promotes healthy growth of the chick which will also be more resistant to disease. The reflectors (used to convey heat) and infra-red lamps are available on the website: www.borotto.com 9.2 - Nutrition Chicks usually start eating and drinking from the second/third day of life.

The activities for cleaning, sanitising and maintenance must be performed with machine off, unplugged and after a sufficient time to allow hot parts to cool down. Cleaning incubator bottom: at the end of the cycle thoroughly wash the bottom of the incubator with a water softener to remove any scaling left during water evaporation (do not use steel wool or scrapers to remove the scale), rinse thoroughly with water to remove all water softener residues before moving to the sanitising stage in order to avoid chemical reactions.
