Cleaning and storage
Remove the electric plug before cleaning. The Comfort heating plate is easy to clean with a damp
cloth. In case it’s necessary, you may first remove the excess dried faeces with a scraper. Regular
cleaning will enhance the lifetime of this product. Please store the product, after cleansing, care-
fully in its original box for a longer lifespan.
Never submerge your heating plate in water.
Correct height setting
The chicks stay calm and quiet under the heating
plate. They leave from underneath the heating plate
to get food and to drink. After that they go back under.
They look comfortable and remain quiet and don’t
cheep or huddle.

If the height setting is to high
The chicks stay under the heating plate all the time but
are restless, standing and huddling. They almost never
leave the heating plate to drink or eat. They’re acting
uncomfortable and cheep a lot more.
To remedy, lower the heating plate and check the behavi-
our of your chicks again until they’re comfortable.
The height setting is too low
The chicks struggle to go underneath the heating plate.
Also, if the temperature is too high the chicks will not
stay under the heating plate and tend to huddle in a
corner away from the plate. Please raise the height
and check again.
Monitor the height setting
Despite of the right height setting, chicks will grow so
the heating plate must be raised with the chick’s
growth. Raise the heating plate about once a week.
The Comfort heating plate reduces the energy waste almost to
almost nothing, because its heat is directly available underneath
or not lost through the top of the plate. This, in contrast to a hea-
ting bulb, which radiates heat over a much larger environment.
In comparison to a common heating bulb, you will already earn
back your investment in energy savings from your heating plate in
an average 6-13* weeks.

Even easier cleaning
Specially developed for the Comfort heating plate series: a cover, made of strong clear PET,
which solves once for all the known problem of dirt on the heating plate. Chicks that want to
jump onto the heating plate top will slide straight o
ff
and down again due to the covers sloping
design. After use, the cover can be cleaned rinsing simply with hot water to remove the dirt.
The heating plate can also be equipped with a temperature controller (WPR), to control the
temperature. Ask your dealer for the possibilities.
Overview energy saving of heating plates
Please make sure that when the heating plate is placed in a corner or against a wall
there is no gap left to avoid any chicks getting stuck.
