as it may cause condensation to form on the windows and can decrease hatch
percentage.
Plug the cord set into the appropriate wall socket. The fan should then run and the
small heat indicator light on the thermostat box should be lit. Allow the incubator

- Page 2 LOCATION An Incubator is designed to bring normal room temperature to the desired temperature. Room temperture of 60°F. or below will reduce the temperature in the incubator. Room temperature change of 10°F. or more will change temperature in incubator & is more pronounced below a temperature of 70°F. The location of the machine is important to successful operation.
- Page 3 AUTOMATIC TURNER Set up incubator as shown on page 1. If you are using the automatic egg turner, place it on the fl oor in the bottom of the incubator. The turner motor uses metal gears for additional strength when turning heavy loads. These gears can emit noise during normal operation.

Questions and answers
does the model 2370 measure humidity
The GQF HOVA-BATOR 2370 does not appear to measure humidity directly. While it has humidity guidelines and troughs for controlling humidity, the digital display's accuracy is questioned, and using an additional analog thermometer is recommended. There is no mention of a built-in hygrometer, so external humidity measurement tools may be needed.

I set 3 Emu eggs in my Hova-Bator 2370 w/o any water a few days ago. Emus require 25-35% humidity but mine is running at 40%. I have added a bowl of rice and dry sponge but it won’t reduce, using an InkBird hygrometer so I believe it is accurate. I’m in San Diego and house humidity is only 35%, how can I reduce the humidity?
To reduce humidity in your GQF Hova-Bator 2370 incubator for Emu eggs, you can try the following methods:
1. Reduce Water in Troughs – Ensure that only the necessary water troughs are filled and avoid overfilling.
2. Prop Up the Top Slightly – If humidity remains high, slightly prop up the top to allow excess moisture to escape while maintaining the proper temperature.
3. Wipe Moisture from Windows – If condensation forms on the windows, quickly remove the top and wipe away the moisture to aid drying.
Ensure that humidity stays within the recommended range for incubation.
