5 TEMPERATURE
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
Stable and correct temperature is essential for
good results. Adjust with care.
Your incubator has been factory set to the correct
temperature for most species (99.3 – 99.7°F) but it
is advisable to check the temperature and follow
this procedure:-
1
: As the incubator warms up and approaches its
control setting the red LED will change from
continuously on to flashing. Allow the incubator to
stabilise for at least an hour before adjusting the
temperature.
2
: Gently insert the temperature adjustment
screwdriver into the adjuster screw hole and turn
it until it engages in the screw slot. Do not force an
inappropriate screwdriver into the housing, it may
damage the adjustment unit and invalidate the
guarantee.
Turn clockwise to increase temperature,
anticlockwise to reduce it. ¼ of a turn is
approximately 4 degrees Fahrenheit. Make very
small adjustments and allow time for the
temperature to stabilise between adjustments.
Refer to the thermometer to check temperature.
Adjust temperature with care – small differences
have large effects on hatching performance.
Recommended temperatures:
Typical incubation period:
Hens
99.3 – 99.6°F
37.4 – 37.6°C
21 days
Pheasant
99.6 – 100.0°F
37.6 – 37.8°C
23-27 days
Quail
99.6 – 100.0°F
37.6 – 37.8°C
16-23 days
Ducks
99.3 – 99.6°F
37.4 – 37.6°C
28 days
Developing embryos are fairly tolerant of short term temperature drops and the user need not be concerned about cooling
that occurs when inspecting eggs. Temperatures above ideal can quickly have a serious detrimental effect on hatch rates and
must be avoided.
