BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON PERIODIC COOLING
The precise details of which days a nd what cooling period each day s hould be used for best effect are not known. Brinsea have assessed
the a va ilable research a nd s uggest that poultry, wa ter fowl and game bird eggs have a 30 mi nute daily cooling period from day 7 through
to 2 da ys before eggs are due to hatch (the same point that automatic turning would normally be s topped).
COOLING IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PARROTS AND B
IRDS OF PREY BECAUSE THE RESULTS OF COOLING HAVEN’T YET BEEN
ESTABLISHED

HOW IT WORKS WITH YOUR INCUBATOR
•
The periodic cooling feature turns the i ncubator’s heater a nd
l ow temperature a larm off for a s electable period but keeps the
fa n running. After the cooling period is complete the incubator reverts to normal temperature and the alarm is automatically
res et.
•
Ea ch cooling period s tarts a t approximately the same time each day (24 hours between s tart ti mes). The first cooling period will
s ta rt 24 hours a fter the i ncubator was last switched on. If there is a power interruption the 24 hour delay s tarts again.
•
Duri ng the cooling period the heater asterisk goes off and an a r
row “↓” is displayed. When the cooling period ends the asterisk
i s s hown a nd the i ncubator warms to incubation temperature. The ti me ta ken to return to i ncubation temperature depends on
the room temperature a nd may ta ke 30 or more minutes.
