5.6 TURN SYSTEM FAULT ALARM - If the shelves become jammed by debris or incorrectly loaded trays the
motor is switched off and an alarm sounds. The display shows "FAULT". Automatic turning is also temporarily
set to off (0) in the Main Menu to prevent the turn restarting. Always check trays are loaded to the back of
each shelf as damage may occur if the shelves are jammed by trays placed too far forward.
5.7 CHANGING SETTINGS – The Main Menu allows the various settings to be modified and saved. All changes
are retained in the event of a power cut.
To access the Main Menu press the + and – buttons simultaneously to unlock the display. For full details of
menu settings please refer to the guide on page 4.
6 Storage of eggs
6.1 Store eggs in cool, damp conditions. Most species may be safely stored for up to 14 days before serious
reductions in hatch rates are likely. Daily turning of stored eggs also helps maintain hatchability.
6.2 Discard cracked, mis-shaped and heavily soiled eggs (if possible). Only wash soiled eggs using a brand egg
wash solution following the manufacturer’s instructions. It is essential to wash eggs in solution which is
significantly warmer than the egg. Bear in mind that all solutions will remove the outer cuticle from the egg as
well as the dirt and may leave the egg at greater risk from bacterial contamination in the future.
7 Temperature
Stable and correct temperature is essential for good results. Adjust with care.
7.1 Note: your incubator may not be set to the correct temperature from the factory and the following procedure
must be followed before setting eggs.
7.2 As the incubator warms up and approaches its control setting the heater on asterisk “*” will change from
continuously on to flashing. Allow the incubator to stabilise for at least an hour before adjusting the temperature.
7.3 SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
Press the - and + buttons simultaneously to unlock the Main Menu.
Press OK to select the temperature screen and adjust as necessary using the + and – buttons.
Press OK to return to the Main Menu and then scroll down to SAVE. Press OK to save the changes.
When reducing temperature the asterisk may go out while the incubator cools – this is normal.
7.4 Refer to the digital temperature display to check temperature. The display shows the air temperature in
increments of 0.1°. Adjust temperature with care – small differences have large effects on hatching performance.
7.5 The Display can be switched to show all temperature settings in degrees Fahrenheit. Press the - and + buttons
simultaneously to unlock the Main Menu. Scroll to the C/F option and press OK to select the C/F display screen.
Press the + button to select °F or the – button to select °C. Press OK to return to the Main Menu and then scroll
down to Save. Press OK to save the changes.
