4 Location and Installation
4.1
Your incubator will give best results in a room free from wide temperature variations and with generous
ventilation – particularly if several incubators are running at the same time. Ensure that the room
temperature cannot drop on a cold night. Ideally thermostatically control the room at between 20 and
25°C (68 and 77°F).
Never allow the room temperature to drop below 17°C (63°F) and ensure that
the incubator cannot be exposed to direct sunlight.
4.2
ONLY USE THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT SUPPLIED WITH THE PRODUCT. USE OF A
DIFFERENT POWER SUPPLY MAY CAUSE A HAZARD AND WILL INVALIDATE ANY
WARANTEE.
4.3
Connect the power supply unit cable to the socket on the back of the incubator lid. Ensure the connector
is pushed fully home in its socket.
4.4
Place the incubator on a flat, level surface that is resistant to moisture and scratching. The base of the
incubator must sit flat on the surface as this traps air under it as part of the thermal insulation.
4.5
Remove the lid and fill one of the two water pots with water or 100:1 Brinsea Incubation Disinfectant
Solution.
4.6
Fit the egg disc with its shiny side upwards and replace the lid.
Note that a disc for holding up to 12
small (e.g. quail) eggs may be purchased as an accessory. Contact Brinsea at the address at the end
of these instructions or a Brinsea stockist.
4.7
Plug the power supply unit into a suitable outlet ensuring that the cable is not pulled tight. The incubator
fan will start, the buzzer sound and the LCD display on the temperature control housing will display the
air temperature and remaining days.
4.8
Allow the incubator to run for at least an hour to stabilise the temperature before making adjustments or
setting eggs.
