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 currents
and windows to prevent sudden harmful temperature changes.
2 Carefully read the instruction manual. (Annex A)
3 Remove the safety lock from the door hook (a) by sliding it upwards
(b). It is recommendable to keep the lock and use it again to lock the door
during possible incubator displacements.
4 Install the supplied accessories.
Remove the egg trays and install the egg turning rods or the automatic egg
turning devices (see the instructions).
5 Install the separators inside the specifi c trays. If it is diffi cult to introduce
the separators in the machine due to friction, slightly press the two ends to
facilitate their introduction.
6 Introduce the egg trays into the specifi c guides, and then hook the
movable bottom to its own egg turning rod. First, displace the rod
completely outwards (a), and then introduce the tray into the guides (b) by
keeping the hook of the movable bottom completely close to the right wall
of the incubator (where you fi nd the egg turning rod) in order to facilitate
the automatic connection (c).
7 Test the operation by gently displacing the egg turning rods in the two
directions.
8 Fill the pan/s with lukewarm water and place it/them on the bottom
of the incubator (if there is one pan: centrally (a); if there are two pans:
parallely and at the same distance one to the other in correspondence with
the external references that are marked on the bottom (b)).
9 Connect the plug to the mains socket with the incubator closed and
without eggs and set the display.
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 fi 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 the and keys. The display will show F01, which corresponds to the
fi rst "function" to be set. If you repeatedly press the key, you can scroll the
menu and display the other available functions.
Available functions:
F01 - It displays the unit of measurement of the set temperature (C or F
degrees). By means of the key, you can vary its condition.
F02 - After you have selected this function and have pressed the key, you
can activate or deactivate the LED that corresponds to icon 1 (rotate the
eggs).
F03 - After you have selected this function and have pressed the key, you
can activate or deactivate the LED that corresponds to icon 2 (check the
water level).
After you have entered all settings and 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 temperature.
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 the or key 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.
10 The incubator has a push-button that, if pressed, will turn ON a bulb that
allows lighting inside the incubator.
Do not keep the bulb ON for long periods to prevent sudden temperature
changes due to the heat emanated by the bulb. In addition, it is recommendable
to keep the bulb OFF in case of temperature adjustment.
11 Wait until the internal temperature is starting to stabilise (the display
shows 37.8°C or 100°F).
12 When the internal temperature has stabilized (red line or 100°F), open
the door, remove the egg trays and rapidly close back the door to avoid
wasting heat; place the eggs in the trays (see points 16 and Egg types) and
leave a minimum space between the separators (a).
It is recommendable to use a calendar to note down the incubation date.
13 Open the door, re-introduce the egg trays and fi nally close back the
door.
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.
