EcoGlow Safety 1200
CHICK BROODER
Read the instructions before use. Please observe all safety warnings:
Do not cover the brooder panel or the power supply unit or allow them
to be buried in litter! This may cause it to overheat or create a fire hazard.
Damaged appliances must not be used. If the power supply unit, supply cord or the brooder panel become
damaged discontinue use immediately. The sealed units contain no serviceable parts.
For continued safety against fire and electric shock, this appliance is only to be used with the power
supply unit provided with the appliance. For replacements contact brinsea.com, brinsea.co.uk or your local
Brinsea stockist.
The brooder panel is designed for floor use. However, the power supply unit must be located at least
500mm off the floor in an indoor area not subject to splashes of water or wet conditions, protected from
animals and away from litter.
This appliance must not be used, cleaned or maintained by children or persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge without supervision. Children must not
play with the appliance.
Disconnect from the mains power supply during cleaning. Ensure that all electrical parts are kept dry.
Please read these instructions carefully before setting up your EcoGlow Brooder to achieve best results and keep these
instructions safe for future reference.
The EcoGlow Safety 1200 chick brooder is ideal for rearing up to 35 chicks, ducklings or most other species of fowl or game. The
low voltage heater panel warms chicks gently and directly by replicating the warmth and contact of the adult bird. This makes it
more economical and safer than infra-red lamps.
Measuring the temperature with a thermometer is not reliable. Always watch the behaviour of the birds. If they are too cool
they will huddle together, make “peep” noises and will not come out from under the brooder. When warm enough the birds will
be quiet, often lie down and will occasionally come out from under the brooder. The more of them, the less external warmth
they need.
