Check the individual values by means of an additional thermometer and hygrometer. If neces-

sary, calibrate the values. Test how being able to keep the desired air humidity at the right
level/what amount of water is required to stay in the desired range.
If the incubator works without a problem, and you are accustomed with the functions, unplug

the incubator and clean it on the inside and the outside with a suitable disinfectant.
Adding the Eggs
As soon as the incubator has been cleaned, you can place a small bowl of water into the in -
cubator. Please note that the air humidity should be noticeably lower at the beginning of the
breeding process than towards the end (at least for most bird types). Therefore only fill a little
bit of water into the bowl at the beginning.
Note: Every animal species has individual requirements. Do not place too much water into the
incubator as this can lead to bad hatching results. Ideally you have already found out how
much water is required at the beginning.
Note: If humidity level is too low, even though the bowl is filled with plenty of water, another
bowl can be added to the incubator. Please be careful not to wet the eggs. Do not keep the in-
cubator open too long when placing the bowls, as this can have a negative impact on the
hatching result.
Important: Choose the shape and design of the water bowls, making sure they are not fatally
dangerous to hatched chicks and reptiles.
After the good incubator parameters have been adjusted, the eggs can be placed into the in-
cubator. Please use a waterproof marker, in case of marking the egg, as it could otherwise be
removed by humidity.
Regularly check the temperature on the incubator control panel and if necessary modify the
parameters. Pay attention to the water level inside the incubator bowl; there should always be
a sufficient amount of water.
When measuring the humidity via a hygrometer, check it frequently.
Important: There should be no water on the egg! For this can have a negative impact on the
hatching results.
Towards the end of the hatching process, the poultry eggs must not be turned any longer. It is
important that the humidity is high enough for the chicks to hatch.
Important: Please note that the incubator should not be opened towards the end of the breed-
ing process with more sensitive species. Thus ensure that a few days prior, humidity is high
enough.
During the hatching process, the lid should be kept closed. Water can be refilled to protect the
eggshells from drying out.
When the chicks have hatched, you need to ensure that they cannot drown, while chicks still
breeding need to hatch.
