4 After covering the top cover, rightly connect the power line and switch on the power supply, if temperature is indicated on the control panel in normal condition, the heating indicator(Work) will be on incubator will begin to heat up.
5 Note: when ambient temperature is less than 25°C, measure shall be taken for heat preservation, it’s good for temperature uniformity when the device is enclosed with clothes or other warms, and it also helps energy-saving and reduces heat dissipation.
6 Check all parameters according to Push-button instruction.
7 The motor on egg tray shall be connected to the joint in top cover, so that the motor is available for 24-h work without interruption (the motor will work as long as the device is powered on).
8 After the power and switch are on, the switch indicator on panel turns to red and it will send alarm if the temperature shows “L” and the alarm can be released by pushing “SET”, “+” and “-” . The incubator can be put into running after 2 hours’ trial
9 Check whether all the display meter are as in normal, and it well start to record time by pushing the time reset button after the breeding egg is placed.
10 It will start to record the number of days after pushing the time reset button.
11 It’s about to incubate, put the selected eggs well and the bigger side shall be up, take down the incubation time.
12 The incubator begins to incubate, pay attention to the temperature indicated on the control panel, adjust it in time if it doesn’t comply with requirement, check the water level for every 2-3 days so as to avoid incubator in lack of water.
13 It will send alarm if the humidity is lower than 45%, so please do remember to add water. There are only display and alarm function for humidity,
