BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON PERIODIC COOLING
The precise details of which days and what cooling period each day should be used for best effect are not known. Brinsea have assessed
the available research and suggest that poultry, water fowl and game bird eggs have a 30 minute daily cooling period from day 7
through to 2 days before eggs are due to hatch (the same point that automatic turning would normally be stopped).
COOLING IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PARROTS AND BIRDS OF PREY BECAUSE THE RESULTS OF COOLING HAVEN’T YET BEEN
ESTABLISHED

HOW IT WORKS WITH YOUR INCUBATOR

The periodic cooling feature turns the incubator’s heater and low temperature alarm off for a selectable period but keeps the
fan running. After the cooling period is complete the incubator reverts to normal temperature and the alarm is automatically
reset.

Each cooling period starts at approximately the same time each day (24 hours between start times). The first cooling period
will start 24 hours after the incubator was last switched on. If there is a power interruption the 24 hour delay starts again.

During the cooling period the heater asterisk goes off and an arrow “↓” is displayed. When the cooling period ends the
asterisk is shown and the incubator warms to incubation temperature. The time taken to return to incubation temperature
depends on the room temperature and may take 30 or more minutes.

The humidity pump will not run during periodic cooling; humidity levels will rise as the air cools.
