Humidaire Model 20 Incubator

[5PChickens]

I recently aquired a perfect condition Humidaire Model 20 and have no idea how to use it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how these work? or somewhere I can get an Manual? All tips and suggestions welcome!
Thanks

we have one plus the hatcher as well. Have you plugged it in yet and tested to make sure it heats up?

Runs like a top have had it plugged in for 30+ hrs and its pinned on 99.5 and 53% humidity.

We just started one of these I got of cl! Is yours also 400-600 eggs? It holds the temp great, but I'm worried it will fall fast if I open to candle etc. Not sure what the best thing to do about that is.

I put eggs in today for the hatch a long, ill see how it goes when its got eggs in it and report back.

My turner will work if I push the button but how do I get it to or know how its working automaticly? Any ideas

Its supposed to be automatic. Ours was in different places when i looked in it while checking temp, so i'm assuming it was turning.

Ours is set up for goose eggs but same machine.

Red button is manual, silver toggle is auto for the turner

will take better pictures tomorrow as it sits in my office on the second floor and i dont mess with them or the room much if I dont have to.

it is the most stable of all the cabinets and incubators we have. This is with the monitoring of goose eggs daily from day 7 forward.
