MANUAL FOR USE OF INCUBATORS MOD. COSMO, COSMO EVO & COSMO ML
Cosmo represents, in any way, the new incubation frontier as each detail of this appliance has been conceived to ensure
excellent performance together with a unique and exclusive design. It results from F.I.E.M. experience, reached and applied
on field in years of dedicated research and drilled-down studies on incubation technique.
WARNING: This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sen-
sory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning
and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
INFORMATION TO THE USERS: Under Legislative Decree 25 September 2007, no.185 and art. 13, Legislative Decree 25
July 2005, no.151 "Implementation of Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC, regarding the reduction of use of
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment as well as waste disposal". The barred waste container symbol
on the equipment means that the product, at the end of its service life, must be disposed of separately from the other types
of waste. The user must therefore convey the equipment, at the end of its service life, to the appropriate separate collection
centres for electronic/electro technical waste products or return it to the dealer when purchasing a new equivalent equipment.
The appropriate separate collection and the following sending of the used equipment to recycling, treatment and eco-friendly
disposal will help avoid negative effects on the environment as well as on health along with an easier recycling of the materials
forming the equipment. Any unauthorized disposal of the product by the user will imply the enforcement of the administrative
sanctions as set out in Legislative Decree no. 22/1997 (article 50 and following articles, Legislative Decree no. 22/1997).
BEFORE USE: Before using the incubator, it is recommended to study the Instruction Manual, especially the technical and
safety data aspects, in order to gain an understanding of the components and the potential operation of the machine.
WARNING: ALL REPAIRS SHALL BE CARRIED OUT ONLY BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON
MACHINE UNPACKING: Take the incubator out of its cardboard box and remove the internal components which are
secured by the adhesive tape and check that they are intact.
Check the following components are included:
• 1 no. adjustable egg-turning grid + 12 no. metal inserts;
• 1 no. Instruction Book;
The incubator is supplied with a single phase electric cable (approx. 2 mt.) with a plug for the electric connection 220-240V,
50/60Hz. On the back of the machine, the data plate gives full details regarding the voltage, power requirements, registration
number and production date.
IMPORTANT: Remember to check thermometer is working correctly, examining that there are no breaks in the line of alcohol.
IMPORTANT NOTICE In order to comply with the latest CE specifications
in terms of human safety from dangerous materials contained on electric
and non electric equipments we have been obliged to conform our mercury
thermometers/hygrometers to the actual rules via the replacement of the
now forbidden mercury with colored alcohol. Being this last one physically
more volatile and subject to fragmentations, sometimes invisible because of
his discoloration, the result is that the new thermometers are less reliable.
Consequently we ask our esteem customers & distributors to pay the max-
imum attention before using our thermometers, examining that there are no
gaps visible in the alcohol/liquid and while storing caring them to be positioned vertically. The adequate room temperature
for storing our thermometers is comprised between 10°C to 30°C.
POSITIONING AND PREPARATION: The area where the machine is placed should be well ventilated and dry, at a constant
temperature between 17-23 °C. Place the incubator on a flat, level surface and near to an electric socket for easy access.
Use only the electric plugs supplied, with earth connection.
PLEASE NOTE: The manufacturer declines every responsibility in case of any improper use or improper placement, connec-
tion to any unauthorized apparatus or tampering from unauthorized personnel.
1. Before using the machine, remember to clean it carefully inside and outside, as shown in the relative paragraph.
2. Insert the thermometer into its clip on the left side of the egg turning grid
and adjust it so that its bulb is level with the centre line of the eggs.
3. In order to activate the automatic turning of eggs ensure that the peg on the turner
motor is inserted into the metal stirrup connected to the egg grid and connect the
specific egg-turning plug into the electric power.
4. Natural surface humidification is performed by modular basins built into the machine lower valve by an easy-to-use exter-
nal filling system.
5. On the new developed EVO and MINILED Version the LCD electronic control unit can perform the digital reading of
humidity expressed in UR% (range 20-90%) and, if connected to an external ultrasound humidifier, it is a super-modern
digitally-regulated automatic humidification system.
6. For analogue version: insert the dial hair hygrometer into its metal support on the right frontal size.
7. Synthetic hair hygrometer regeneration: in order to enable an exact humidity reading it's important at each incubation
start to regenerate the dial hair hygrometer. A simple regeneration is possible by wrapping the device in a wet hot for
about 10-15 minutes. After this time the hygrometer must indicate a relative humidity of max. 95 – 98%. Deviations can
be corrected by turning the adjusting screw with a small screw driver. The adjusting screw is visible through a small hole
in the back of the housing.
