User Instructions

After removing your Nursery Hospital_®/Brooder from it's shipping container, you'll notice our signature square shape.
This was designed to offer extra security and mimic a natural environment. With three solid sides and a clear door, this gives ill, frightened, and very young animals more security and less stress by replicating their natural environment. This is particularly important when treating wild or older, non-imprinted animals.

• The first step is to remove the top; the heating element, temperature controller and fan are mounted in the top. The ceiling panel or baffle just lifts out. The baffle is not only essential to control and maintain the proper airflow and temperature, but necessary to keep prying fingers, and little beaks away from the fan blades, and heating element.

• The multi-directional scoop can be turned to direct the airflow to any desired area

• When replacing the ceiling baffle, note the fan hole is off-set toward the back of the unit. Make sure the baffle scoop in directly under the fan, it only fits on one way properly. If you turn the scoop toward the front, you should be able to see the fan deflector if properly installed.

On/off switch
This is the main power switch. Flip this to the on position. You’ll hear the fan start, and the red light will acknowledge the unit is heating up. The fan motor runs continually when the main power switch is on.

Red indicator light
The red light mounted between the power and auxiliary switch indicates the unit is on and working. Some models (101, solid state, and the wafer-assisted mechanical) are designed to blink, when power is being diverted to the heating element.

Aux. switch
There is a 110-volt outlet on the inside. One side has constant power going to it whenever the unit is plugged in. The other side works off the auxiliary switch and can be used for a night-light, baby monitor or Egg Watch Incubator. By plugging the Egg WatchIncubator in the constant power side, it will run continually. Plug it in the auxiliary side and it works manually with the Aux. switch Humidity Tray. The humidity tray is designed to produce between 35-45% humidity for 24 hours (Bacteria in water start to grow at higher temperatures after 24 hours). Higher humidity percentages can be reached by adding a small kitchen sponge in the drawer to increase the evaporation area.
