9 HATCHING & CLEANING UP
HATCHING
1
:
If hatching in the Ovation 28, remove the top,
take out the egg carriers and their link two days
before the hatch is due. Lay the eggs directly in the
base.
2
:
Put the top back on.
3
: Turning must be switched to OFF in the control
menu.
Hatching humidity levels need to be high (see
section 6 above).
When most eggs have hatched (12 to 48 hours after
the first egg hatches) remove the hatchlings to a
brooder. The Brinsea EcoGlow 20 and 50 are ideal
for poultry and waterfowl etc. The Brinsea TLC-40
and TLC-50 Brooders are recommended for exotics.
During hatching the high humidity levels will fall
dramatically when the lid is lifted and will take some
time to build up. Resist the temptation to open the
incubator frequently – leave for at least 6 hours
between inspections.
CLEANING UP
IMPORTANT:
DISCONNECT THE INCUBATOR FROM THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY DURING CLEANING.
ENSURE THAT ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS ARE KEPT DRY. DO NOT IMMERSE THE INCUBATOR TOP.
NEVER WASH THE BASE, EGG CARRIERS, COVERS OR CABINET PARTS IN LIQUIDS OVER 120°F (50°C). DO NOT USE A DISHWASHER TO
CLEAN ANY PARTS OF THE INCUBATOR.
Following each hatch in the Ovation EX remove and wash the egg carriers, link and base in Brinsea Incubation Disinfectant Solution and
then rinse thoroughly.
Use a vacuum cleaner and soft brush to remove dust from the fan guard. Wipe all other internal surfaces with
a cloth made damp with the solution and then wipe off with a cloth made damp with clean water.
Ensure that the instructions supplied
with the fluid are followed.
If a separate hatcher is used the procedure above should still be followed every two months.
The exterior of the incubator may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid allowing any moisture to get inside electrical housings.
If after extended use more thorough cleaning within the top of the appliance is required, please visit www.brinsea.co.uk for information
on how this may be safely performed.
ALWAYS CLEAN THE INCUBATOR BEFORE STORAGE AND ENSURE THAT THE UNIT IS TOTALLY DRY INSIDE AND OUT. ALLOW IT TO RUN
FOR 24 HOURS WITH NO WATER IN TO ENSURE IT IS THOROUGHLY DRY.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND CALIBRATION
In case of failure first check that the mains power supply is working and that the mains cable connector is fully engaged in the socket on
the control enclosure.
The digital temperature and humidity display is individually calibrated during manufacture but may be re-calibrated if required. In the
unlikely event that your hatching success makes you doubt the temperature or humidity calibration of your machine please contact your
distributor or Brinsea directly at [email protected] for further information and advice.
