4. Podešavanje

4.1 Postavljanje

Place the incubator on a flat, stable surface in a room with a consistent ambient temperature between 20°C and 25°C (68°F and 77°F). Avoid areas with direct sunlight, drafts, or significant temperature fluctuations.

4.2 Water Filling for Humidity

The incubator features an external water refill system to maintain humidity without opening the unit. Locate the practical outlets outside the incubator. Carefully pour water into these outlets to fill the internal trays. This method minimizes humidity loss during refilling.

5. Uputstvo za upotrebu

5.1 Kontrola temperature

The Borotto REAL 24 Automatic Incubator features a sophisticated electronic temperature control system. This system maintains a constant microclimate inside the incubator with an accuracy of 0.1 °C. The electronic system ensures the set temperature value remains constant, even if the ambient temperature outside the machine varies. Refer to the control panel for temperature display and adjustment buttons.

5.2 Automatic Egg Turning

The REAL 24 Automatic incubator automatically rotates the eggs throughout the entire incubation phase. Eggs are tilted from right to left (and vice versa), with a complete cycle lasting 1 hour. This continuous turning is crucial for embryonic development and prevents the embryo from sticking to the shell.

5.3 Humidity Management

Regularly check the water level in the external refill ports. Maintain appropriate humidity levels according to the specific requirements of the eggs you are incubating. The external refill system allows for quick and practical interventions without opening the incubator, drastically reducing humidity loss.

5.4 Ventilacija

Internal ventilation is provided by a quiet turbine that draws air from below and directs it to the side walls, creating a warm air barrier. This aerodynamic design ensures greater uniformity of temperature and humidity inside the incubator, which is vital for successful hatching.

6. Održavanje

6.1 Čišćenje

After each incubation cycle, unplug the incubator and allow it to cool. Clean all internal surfaces, egg trays, and water channels with a mild disinfectant solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing or starting a new cycle. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

6.2 Redovne provjere

Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for any signs of damage. Ensure the ventilation openings are clear of debris. Check the water level daily during operation.

7. Otkrivanje problema

If you encounter issues with your incubator, consider the following:

• Temperaturne fluktuacije: Ensure the incubator is placed in a stable environment away from drafts or direct heat sources. Verify the power connection is secure.
• Niska vlažnost: Check the water levels in the external refill ports and replenish as needed. Ensure the water channels are not blocked.
• Poor Hatch Rates: This can be due to many factors including egg quality, incorrect temperature/humidity, or improper egg handling. Review your incubation practices and ensure the incubator settings are appropriate for the specific type of eggs.
• Egg Turning Not Working: Check the power connection to the egg turning mechanism. Ensure the egg trays are correctly installed.
