MANDATORY: SANITISE THE INCUBATOR BEFORE STARTING THE INCUBATION PROCESS: refer to Chapter 15
Place the incubator on a flat table higher than 500 mm from the floor.
Do not place other objects between the product and the plane, for example tablecloths or covers.
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 the

last 3 days).
Ensure the egg supports are well positioned in their seats and that (in the automatic version) 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 (14-Fig. 6).
Fill one of the nozzles at the outer base of the incubator (either one) with drinking water, pouring the water slowly
(4-Fig. 1).
REAL 49 PLUS VERSION ONLY: Use the 2 "DUST STOP" antimicrobial caps to close the 2 water filling nozzles (7-Fig.2).
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 upper part perfectly meshes with the duct in the cover
plate base.
Plug the cover plate plug in a power socket. Ventilation will start immediately, the internal temperature will then be
displayed and the yellow LED will switch on (13-Fig. 5). The LED will remain on for about 20-40 minutes, until the set
temperature is reached, then it will begin flashing. Set the temperature at 37.7°C (ideal temperature for all bird
species).
To set the temperature, use the (+) and (-) buttons on the upper control panel (1-Fig. 1). 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 egg).
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.
For the semi automatic incubator:
At least 4 times a day change the tilt of the eggs placed in the cell device by means of the lever located at the front
of the incubator. Tilt the lever alternatively to the right or left, stopping it in the position corresponding to 10
o'clock or 2 o'clock. Never leave the lever (and consequently the eggs) in vertical position (12 o'clock). Move the
lever gently to prevent any shocks to the eggs.
For the automatic incubator (with egg turning motor):
Plug the egg turning motor plug in a power socket. The egg turning motor will then start turning.
NOTE: the egg turning motor moves the eggs constantly by tilting them from right to left and vice-versa. This
movement is NOT visible since the motor turns very slowly like the hands of a clock, and completes a cycle from
right to left (or vice-versa) in 1 hour. The egg turning motor can thus deceive you into thinking it is not turning. But
in fact, it is working correctly and there is no need to worry that is has stopped.
The incubation cycle now starts. It is advisable to mark the day on a calendar and follow the instructions of the table
below.
