Incubator and Manual
Before beginning a hatch, you need to regulate the incubator tempera- ture. Turn the control knob fully clockwise. The red indicator light will come on and the element will begin to heat. Watch the thermometer as the incubator heats up. As soon as it registers to the temperature recom- mended for the species you are hatching, turn the control knob slowly. Adjust the control knob counter clockwise to decrease heat and clock- wise to increase heat until you have it regulated to hold at the desired temperature. The red indicator light may flicker off and on during this process.
This is normal and indicates that the incubator is adjusting to changes in both internal and external air temperatures. Run the incubator for 6-8 hours. At the end of this time, make sure the desired temperature was maintained. If so, you are ready to incubate!
Disassembly: Place complete Automatic Egg Turner on a flat surface. Slide power cord horizon- tally to remove from notch in base. Loosen two screws connecting the motor to base and remove. Slide motor upward, releasing the white plastic lever from T- bracket of connecting rod. Turn connecting rod so offset arms rest in a horizontal position and egg trays are vertical. Lift offset arm to release con- necting rod from notches. Lift individual egg trays by offset arms while still in a horizontal position from offset arm notch in base and pull slightly to release the pin from the corresponding hole in the base.
Repeat with all six trays until you are left with an empty base. Place egg trays and base in dishwasher, run and dry. manual can be found here
