Full details
The Novital Covatutto 16 Incubator by Kerbl is an ideal choice for small-scale poultry keepers and hobbyists looking for a reliable, durable unit to hatch up to 16 chicken-sized eggs. It offers consistent heating via an electronic thermostat and triple-bulb array, providing a stable environment for successful incubation; however, users should be prepared for the manual labor involved in egg turning, as this model lacks an automatic rotation mechanism.

FAQs
How often should I turn the eggs?
It is standard practice to turn the eggs at least three times a day for even development.
Can I hatch different types of bird eggs?
Yes, the Covatutto 16 is suitable for poultry and game bird eggs, though you must adjust the temperature settings according to the specific species' requirements.
What is the power source for this incubator?
The unit operates on 230 volts.
How do I maintain humidity?
Use the external water port to refill the water reservoir as needed throughout the incubation process.
Is the temperature display accurate?
The electronic thermostat provides an accurate reading, but it is always good practice to verify with a secondary thermometer during the initial setup.
How do I replace a burnt-out bulb?
Unplug the unit, allow it to cool completely, then carefully remove the cover or access panel to replace the bulb with one of the same wattage and type.
Troubleshooting
Internal temperature is fluctuating
Ensure the incubator is placed in a room with stable ambient temperature and away from vents or windows.
Temperature display is not turning on
Check that the power cord is fully inserted into the outlet and verify the outlet has power.
Humidity levels are too low
Add water to the external filling port and ensure the incubator lid is properly sealed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your incubator, place it on a level surface away from direct sunlight or drafts. Plug the unit into a standard 230V power outlet and allow it to run for at least 24 hours while monitoring the thermostat to ensure it holds the desired temperature before adding eggs. For care, always unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild disinfectant specifically designed for poultry equipment to wipe down the interior surfaces. Ensure all components are completely dry before reassembling. Regularly check the incandescent bulbs to ensure they are functioning properly and securely seated in their sockets.
