Brinsea EcoGlow Safety 600 Manual De Instrucciones página 3

Chicks prefer the brooder panel to be set low down at first so they can snuggle underneath as they would in the nest. Always
ensure there is a minimum of 30mm between the brooder and the litter surface. Gradually increase the height of the brooder
panel as the chicks grow. One end of the panel may be set lower than the other, the chicks will then find their preferred height
and chicks of different sizes will be accommodated. As a guide, for bantam chicks start with one end at 40mm and the other at
80mm.
Ensure the brooder panel cannot sink into deep litter. This could block the chicks' access to the heat source and potentially
create a fire hazard.
Place the EcoGlow chick brooder where it is not likely to be trodden on by people or large animals. Avoid draughts. Room
temperature should not drop below 10 degrees at night.
Always allow enough space around one side of the chick brooder to allow free movement of chicks. They will find their own
comfortable temperature by moving under (or on top of) the brooder as they require. In a colder location close off one or two
sides against the side of the brooding box or pen.
A set of inter-locking, plastic Chick Enclosure Panels available from Brinsea Products may be used to form a pen (part number
HE100). Specially shaped brooder covers are also available to help make cleaning easier (part number HD050). These are
specifically designed and tested to work safely with the heat source.
Connect the lead on the brooder panel to the lead on the power supply unit. Connect the power supply unit in a convenient
electrical outlet, off the floor and out of the reach of animals. The red power indicator on top of the panel will gently glow and
the metal plate under the brooder will get warm. Allow an hour to reach operating temperature.
Chicks should stay in the incubator for a minimum 24 hours to recover from hatching and to dry off, they do not require food or
water. If a chick fails to thrive, return it to the incubator for longer. Closely monitor new chicks for the first few days when they
are most vulnerable.
Cleaning
Disconnect the mains supply before cleaning or moving the brooder.
Keep the power supply unit and electrical connections dry at all times.
Do not immerse the panel in water or place any part in liquids over 50°C.
After use, clean thoroughly with Brinsea Incubation Disinfectant solution. In the event of a problem, please contact brinsea.com,
brinsea.co.uk or your local Brinsea stockist.
