Thoroughly clean the incubator after each use. Then fully open the grey air vent and
plug the incubator into power to run dry (with no added water) for 24 hours to ensure
incubator is thoroughly dry before storage.
Incubation room environment can have a considerable effect on hatch rate. The
incubator needs to be placed in a room with stable temperature between 74°-80°F.
Pay attention to the room temperature to ensure that it doesn’t drop below 72°F
particularly at night. Do not place the incubator near a window to avoid direct
sunlight and drafts. Do not use the incubator on the floor. Not enough fresh air is
available close to the ground due to the CO2 concentration.
c) Plug the egg turner cord (coming out from the base) into the socket
located on the back of the incubator top. Connect the power supply
unit to the incubator top.
d) Place the top onto the incubator base, ensuring the clear
window is completely closed. It’s important to align the two notches on
the bottom of the clear window with the two sockets on the base.
This incubator is factory pre-set to 99.5°F and 21 hatch days for chicken eggs.
Upon plugging the incubator into power, the timer will immediately begin
countdown from 21 days and the temperature will gradually increase to 99.5 °F.
During this time, the heater indicator light will blink - this is normal.
To change the temperature, press and hold the “MENU” button for 3 seconds,
and the pre-set “99.5” °F will blink on the screen. Then, use the “+” or “-” buttons
to adjust the temperature.
After completing the temperature adjustment, press the “MENU” button again to
enter hatch days setting mode, and the pre-set “d - 21” will blink on the screen.
Then use “+” and “-” to adjust the hatch days.
When finished, press the “MENU” button once more to exit the setting mode.
The incubator will then start to run using the new settings.
During the initial warm up period, the “Low Temperature” alarm may be
triggered as the unit slowly warms up to 99.5°F. This is normal due to the cooler
starting temperature of the eggs, water, and ambient air inside the incubator. To
disable the alarm, press the “MENU” button once.
The humidity in this incubator can be roughly adjusted by adding water to one
or both water pots via the external water filling port and can be further adjusted
via the air vent knob to achieve the required humidity level.
Day 1 until 3 days before hatch day:
To prepare the incubator for the first stage of incubation, fill water pot “A” and
open the grey air vent to halfway. Then wait for 2-3 hours for the humidity to
fully stabilize, to achieve a humidity around 50% (48-55% is acceptable) which
is suitable for most poultry.
Last 3 days before hatch day:
To prepare the incubator for the final stage of incubation, remove the red plug
from water pot “B” and add water to water pot “B” in addition to water pot “A”.
Next, open the grey air vent fully. Then wait 2-3 hours for the humidity to fully
stabilize, to achieve a humidity around 70% (65-75% is acceptable) which is
suitable for most poultry.
Make sure the notches align completely with the two sockets on the base
a) Place the egg tray onto the base, making sure the tray sits flat and level.
b) Fit the egg turner onto the “D-shaped” shaft of the turner motor located in the
center of the incubator base.
Install the egg turner onto the base

This incubator is only to be used with the power supply unit provided. • This incubator must be placed in an area where it is out of the reach of animals. • Do not use this
incubator on the floor. Not enough fresh air is available close to the ground due to the CO2 concentration. • This incubator is not a toy. Children should not play with the
incubator and must be supervised by an adult when using it.
Reset to factory settings.
Refer to the “Adjusting Temperature
and Hatch Days” section.
The lamp will automatically turn off after
5 minutes.
The screen will display “d-# #”, which
refers to the remaining days to hatch day.
Test the egg turner several times after
inserting the eggs to ensure that every
egg can turn smoothly.
