VERY IMPORTANT (ORDINARY MAINTENANCE):
In order not to incur in any sudden water loss by the internal water tank please make sure that the floating does not present any malfunction that may
obstruct its movement. so keep the float perfecly clean and free of any lime deposit. after each incubation cycle put a solution of water 70% + white
vinegar 30% inside the humidification tank for 2/3 hours. then disassemble the float, rinses it and reassemble it making sure of its correct operation
before a new use.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR EASY ASSEMBLING AND CONNECTION OF AUTOMATIC HUMIDITY FOR MODELS EQUIPPED
The air humidification inside the incubator is performed by a special humidifier (ultrasound nebulizer) which uses ultrasound technology to atomize water
& create a smoke effect without changing the operating temperature.
ULTRASOUND NEBULIZER ASSEMBLING AND PREPARATION: Remove the ultrasound nebulizer by its carton box and place it on a flat level surface
next to the incubator. Remove the humidifier plastic tank and fill it with water and then place it again up to plastic base. Connect the air injection pipe
to the humidifier inserting the aluminum disk fitted part on the humidifier column exit steam introducing then the opposite part of the same pipe for at
least 2-3 cm inside the special dedicated intake predisposed on the incubator.
OPERATION: Plug the humidifier power socket to the power outlet socket positioned on the control panel back side and switch on the humidifier by
selecting the option "ON" on the main switch ON/OFF. Adjust the steam injection flow intensity by the control knob on the frontal part of the humidi-
fier. Generally it's enough to keep the dial set to 60-70% but in case the settled humidity percentage is not reached than we suggest to turn the knob
to maximum position. A red light on the humidifier will warn about water shortage on the tank. The ultrasound nebulizer is driven by the LCD control
panel. After the above mentioned steps for connecting the instrument it's necessary to set up the required humidity value in order to allow the nebulizer
automatic activation at each request of air humidification coming from the LCD thermostat.
IMPORTANT:
- The humidifier should be disconnected from any power outlet when filling the tank, during displacement and during cleaning
- The humidifier should not be used without water, if there is no water in the tank switch the humidifier off.
- Do not fill the humidifier tank with any other liquid than water, do not add medicines and do not cover any opening
- Do not use it outdoors
USE AND CALIBRATION
Before using the machine, remember to clean it carefully inside and outside, as shown in paragraph no. 5; In order to generate the required humidity,
fill the plastic water dish with tepid and preferably distilled water and place it in the bottom of the machine, on the left side of the hatching tray. It's
important to note that, depending on the reading of the hygrometer, it may be necessary to use the two basins together (see paragraph on humidity).
To switch the machine on, connect the electric plug into the wall outlet, push the master switch O/I and before loading the eggs, wait until the incubator
has reached the working temperature of 37.7°C (99, 7°F). The inside lighting of the machine is by an incandescent lamp activated by the switch placed
on the control panel; remember to switch off the light while the machine is in operation. Take out the setting trays and place the eggs into setting tray
with the points downwards
; Only when machine has reached the working temperature of 99.7°F, introduce the trays into the machine with the eggs

positioned correctly
; taking particular care to engage the end of the trays fully into the tray-support frame, so that the front end of the trays will not
3
foul the turning frame during operation.
IMPORTANT: TWO DAYS BEFORE HATCHING, REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE EGGS FROM THE SETTING TRAYS INTO THE HATCHING
BASKET.
Load eggs stored not more than 7-8 days and not less than 3 days from laying. - before incubation, the eggs must be stored in a location with tem-
perature between 14 – 16 °c. in order to supply the eggs with a constant and homogenous air flow, it is suggested to interchange the position of the
trays between themselves, weekly and in the same time to rotate themselves in order to change completely the position of eggs inside the incubator.
FOR MODELS EQUIPPED WITH ANALOGICAL THERMOSTAT ELTP1
If the working temperature has not reached the above set point, it needs to adjust the thermostat as follows: modify the temperature (if necessary) with
a screwdriver, acting on the adjustment screw and bringing the SET reference arrow in the correspondence of the requested value;
IMPORTANT: In case all the adjusting attempts are useless, do not remove absolutely it from its place to effect improper and not authorized
operations; contact immediately the builder for a reparation or further replacement.

It is noted that in order to guarantee the embryonic development, the eggs must be placed with the air space towards the top.
3
The plateaux are made specifically for each species of egg, and then must apply for specific plateau before incubation.
