READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE STARTING
The location of the incubator is important to successful operation. A thermostatically controlled room temperature between 75 F to 80 F (24 C
to 27 C) degrees with fresh air without drafts is ideal. Room temperatures from 55 F to 90 F (13 C to 32 C) are acceptable but good temperature
control in the incubator is obtained when the room temperature is held within a few degrees. The back of the incubator and the right side
where the vents are located should be placed no closer to a wall or barrier than 12 inches (30 cm) in order to have free air exchange within the room. Avoid areas of strong
sunlight or air ducts that could in uence the temperature in the incubator.
It is suggested that a small number of inexpensive eggs be used during the rst setting to establish the operator’s procedure and the incubators
desired operation. (See warranty on last page.) Allow the incubator to run for at least half a day in order to warm the cabinet
and stabilize the operation.
LOCATION
When operating as expected the eggs may be placed in the turning racks. Plastic trays may be used to hold the eggs
upright with the small end down. GQF offers plastic trays for different size eggs which will allow maximum capacity with
proper air fl ow around eggs. Goose, turkey and other large eggs maybe too tall to stand on end. If so they should be
placed with large/small end oriented to the parallel turning axis of the tray. Extremely large eggs may be secured with rows of “V” shaped hardware
cloth fastened to the turning rack or a removable tray (see accessories). Sliding metal trays are also an option.
