Adding the eggs
•
As soon as the incubator has been cleaned, you can put water into the grooves of the incub-
ator. Please note, that the air humidity should be noticeably lower at the beginning of the
breeding process than towards the end (at least for most bird types). Therefore, only fill a little
bit of water into the bowl at the beginning.
Note:
Please note the individual requirements of every type of animal. Do not place too much
water into the incubator as this can lead to bad hatching results. Ideally, you have already
found out how much water is required at the beginning.
Note:
If the humidity is too low, even though the groove is filed with plenty of water, another
bowl can be added to the incubator. Please be careful not to make the eggs wet. Do not keep
the incubator open for too long, when placing the bowls, as this can have a negative impact on
the hatching result.
•
Important:
Choose the shape and design of the water bowls, making sure they do not pose a
fatal risk to hatched chicks and reptiles.
After adjusting the according parameters of the incubator, the eggs can be placed in the in-
cubator. Please note to mark the egg with a waterproof marker, in case of marking the egg, as
it could otherwise be washing away in the humidity.
•
After adjusting the according parameters of the incubator, place the eggs in the designated in-
lays. Please ensure that the eggs lay loosely sideways in the inlay and that the display of days
is adjusted to 0 with item no.

•
Regularly check the temperature (and humidity) on the control panel of the incubator and if ne-
cessary alter the parameters. Pay attention to the water level in the bowl of the incubator,
there should always be a sufficient amount of water.
When measuring the humidity via a hygrometer, check it frequently.
Important:
There should be no water on the egg! As this can have a negative impact on the
hatching results.
•
Towards the end of the hatching process, the poultry eggs must not be turned any longer. The
automatic turning mechanism needs o be switched off. Therefore, switch the turning frequency
or duration to 0 (see section
“display, function buttons and basic settings”).
Alternatively, the electricity supply can be disconnected from the turning motor and the lid, by
unplugging the cables.
•
If you wish to remove the turning mechanisms entirely, this is possible too. Open the incub-
ator, disconnect the cables of the turning mechanism from one another and lift the turning in -
sert out. Then carefully place the eggs back into the incubator onto the wire inlay. Spray the
eggs with warm water and store the eggs carefully, yet fast to be able to maintain the warm-
humid climate.
Important:
Please note that the incubator should not be opened towards the end of the breed-
ing process with more sensitive species, thus we do not recommend disconnecting the turning
mechanism from the electricity supply manually, but to adjust the setting accordingly.
•
If the turning has been switched off and the eggs are lying still, it is important that the humidity
is high enough. During the hatching process, the lid should stay closed. Water can be refilled
carefully, to avoid the eggshells from drying out.
•
During the hatching, the lid should remain closed. Water can be refilled to protect the egg-
shells from drying out.
•
If the chicks have hatched, you need to ensure they cannot drown, whereas chicks still breed -
ing need to hatch.
