The right location
For a good result, place the incubator into a heated room. There should not be any major fluctuations
of room temperature inside it. Ideally, the room temperature should be between 17 
Additionally, there should be a good ventilation in this area, especially if there are several incubators
located in this room. There has to be an efficient ventilation, as a natural air supply ensures that the
developing embryos always have fresh oxygen.
Make sure that the incubator is placed on a flat, even surface and not in direct sunlight, on a solid sur-
face approx. 80 cm above the floor.
It is recommended to place the incubator far away from heating sources, drafts and windows to avoid
harmful temperature fluctuations. Additionally, the incubator should be kept inside the included styro-
foam packaging, which provides protection.
General information on breeding
1. How has the poultry eggs to be stored before placing them into the incubator?
Hatching eggs should not be kept longer than ten to twelve days. After that, the hatching success rate
is very low. Store the eggs at a cool temperature (8–15 
hatching eggs have been sent you via post, they should rest for at least 24 hours before being placed
into the incubator.
Important: The eggs should be stored lying and need to be rotated halfway around their longitudinal
axis at least once a day.
2. When will the incubator be ready?
The incubator should run for at least 24 hours before placing any eggs into it. If it is possible, let
the incubator run for a week without eggs. Thus it is easy to see if all parameters can be adjusted and
are working as required. Additionally you will learn how to function and adjust the incubator during this
time. Nothing is more harmful to the eggs than the wrong incubator adjustments. If everything works
accordingly during the testing period, the incubator can be cleaned thoroughly with a suitable disinfect-
ant.
The intended humid and warm climate inside the incubator is a good breeding ground for bacteria and
fungi. Not disinfecting the incubator allows their growth and threatens the entire brood. Thus: Before
the first breeding and after every new breeding, thoroughly disinfect the incubator.
You need to make sure that the disinfectant is suitable for the material of the incubator. Otherwise the
material can be attacked, and the hatching process endangered.
Important notice on the parameters: Regarding the term "internal temperature" ("internal"), do not
confuse "internal temperature" (inside the egg) with "internal incubator temperature." The internal tem -
