1 Remove the incubator from the package.
Put the incubator on a sturdy plane at a height of about 80 cm, in premises
with a temperature included between 17°C and 25°C (62°F-77°F) and
humidity included between 55% and 75%. It is recommendable to keep
the incubator away from heat sources, air draughts and windows to prevent
sudden harmful temperature changes.
2 Carefully read the instruction manual.
3 Install the supplied accessories.Install the bottom (a) and introduce
the egg turning rod (b) or the automatic egg turning device (see the
instructions).
4 Install the separators.
5 Fill in the pan with lukewarm water. It is recommendable to perform the
operation approx. every 2 days or, at any rate, when necessary.
6 Connect the plug to the mains socket with the incubator closed and
without eggs.

Default settings

The incubator leaves the manufacturing process being already prepared to
incubate chicken, or at any rate, common poultry eggs. As a consequence,
the rst time you start up the machine, it will automatically adjust to reach
and keep a 37.8°C (100°F) temperature constant.
The incubator display will show 3 small triangular-shaped LEDs that
correspond to the relevant explicatory icons. The aforesaid LEDs have a
warning function and:
- icon no. 1: remind that the eggs must be turned
- icon no. 2: remind that water must be added to the pans
- icon no. 3: remind the time when you must prepare the incubator for the
egg-hatching period.

Set-up of the machine
You can modify the default settings after having connected the plug into
the mains socket and after displaying the model of the incubator (C16, C24,
C54, 108, 162); during the following 5 seconds (not later), contemporary
press and keys. The display will show F01, which corresponds to the rst
"function" to be set. If you repeatedly press the key, you can scroll the
menu and display the other available functions.
Available functions:
- It displays the unit of measurement of the set temperature (C or F
F01
degrees). By means of the key, you can vary its condition.
- After you have selected this function and have pressed the key, you
F02
can activate or deactivate the LED that corresponds to icon 1 (rotate the
eggs).
- After you have selected this function and have pressed the key, you
F03
can activate or deactivate the LED that corresponds to icon 2 (check the
water level).
After you have entered all settings and in order to leave the set-up
operation, wait more than 5 seconds before pressing any other key. The last
entered data will be stored by the machine and, if you do not edit them,
they will be the new default settings at the following use.
Start-up of the machine
Device start-up is divided into three phases:
- phase 1: display test – all digits turn ON for about 1 second
- phase 2: the display shows the model of the machine (C16, C24, C54, 108,
162) for about 2 seconds
- phase 3: the display will show the set temperature (relating to the last
incubation performed) for about 2 seconds
- phase 4: the machine is operating. The display shows the temperature,
which will increase until reaching the set value.
During this phase, the heating symbol will start blinking (and will go on
blinking for the entire duration of the incubation).
How to display and modify the temperature
The temperature that is necessary for the species that you want to incubate
can be set only when the machine is operating, by carefully following the
instructions listed below:
- if you press the key, you can display the temperature that was set for the
previous incubation.
- if you keep the same key pressed for some seconds, the temperature
digits will start blinking: now you can increase the temperature value by
pressing the key, or reduce the value by pressing the key. You can set
the temperature between 25°C and 40°C (77°F – 104°F).
To exit this operation, wait more than 4 seconds before pressing any key.
Display and setting of the days that are necessary for the incubation
The number of necessary days according to the species to be incubated
can be set only when the machine is operating, and carefully following the
instructions listed below:
- if you press the key, you can display the number of days that was set for
the previous incubation.
- if you keep the same key pressed for some seconds, the digits indicating
the number of days will start blinking: now you can increase the number of
days by pressing the key, or reduce the value by pressing the key.
You can set a maximum duration of 40 days.
To exit this operation, wait more than 4 seconds before pressing any key.
At any rate, you can always display the number of days that are missing by
pressing the key.
Explanation of the symbols
LED that corresponds to icon no. 1: this LED turns ON twice a day to remind
you that the eggs must be turned. After you perform this operation,
press one of the two or keys to turn OFF the LED and prepare it for the
following switching ON.
In case there is an automatic egg turning device (available on request), the
use of this LED is not necessary any more; therefore, it can be deactivated
(to deactivate this LED, see the paragraph "Machine set-up").
LED that corresponds to icon no. 2: this LED turns ON once every 2 days
to remind that you must add water to the pans. After you perform this
operation, press one of the two or keys to turn OFF the LED and prepare
it for the following switching ON.
If the two LEDs are ON at the same time, just press only one of the or
keys to turn them OFF.
LED that corresponds to icon no. 3: it turns ON 3 days before egg-hatching.
Now, perform the operations that are correlated with egg-hatching.
The LED blinks when the days counter is 0.
7 Wait until the incubator reaches the set temperature (37.8°C - 100°F).
8 When the internal temperature has stabilised (red line or 100°F),
disconnect the plug from the mains socket, remove the lid and put the eggs
in the speci c egg compartment (see the Eggs table), leaving a minimum
space between the separators; use a calendar to note down the incubation
date.
Close the lid once again and connect the plug into the mains socket.
9 If you do not have an automatic egg turning device: manually rotate
all eggs at least twice a day (morning-evening) by using the speci c egg
turning rod. Note: before opening the incubator, for any reason, you have
always to disconnect the plug from the mains socket to prevent sudden
temperature changes; however, it is recommendable to open the incubator only
to perform the necessary operations and for short times.
10 During the last 3 days before egg-hatching, prepare the incubator: -
completely ll the pan with water (a) – Remove the separators (b) – Put the
bottom at the centre of the incubator, install 2 separators at the ends of the
bottom, thus eliminating possible openings and preventing the chicks from
falling (c) - Do not rotate the eggs any more (d) (or deactivate the automatic
egg turning device by disconnecting the plug from the mains socket) –
During these 3 days, open the incubator only if it is strictly necessary.
Chick births can start 1 day before and end 2 days after the pre-established
date (ex. 21 days for chickens).
