📦 Compatibility – PAY ATTENTION TO THE MODEL

Exploded view reference: Component number 2 (CIP CIP 40)

Manufacturer: FIEM Srl (Como, Italy)

🔍 When to Replace the Net – Typical Symptoms

The safety net should be replaced when one or more of the following symptoms occur:

• Rubbing noises: You hear a metallic or scratching noise coming from the fan, a sign that the deformed mesh is touching the blades
• Reduced ventilation: Air circulates less effectively, with possible temperature inhomogeneities in the incubator
• Accumulated debris: Feathers, shell fragments or dust accumulate in the fan area because the mesh no longer provides adequate protection.
• Oxidized or corroded mesh: After years of use or cleaning with aggressive products, the mesh appears rusty
• Deformed or widened mesh: Accidental impacts or deterioration have compromised the original shape
• After cleaning too vigorously: You have used metal brushes or overly aggressive chemicals that have damaged the mesh

⚠️ Before ordering: quick checks to do

🔧 Safe installation

ATTENTION SAFETY

Before any intervention:

• Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet
• Never intervene with the incubator switched on or connected to the mains.
• No part must be under tension during work
• If you don't feel confident → the procedure is simple but if you have any doubts ask for help

Assembly procedure (valid for both 28/40 models):

1. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet
2. Access the fan compartment at the top of the incubator
3. Unscrew the screws holding the old safety net (usually 2-4 screws)
4. Gently remove the old mesh
5. Position the new net, checking that the screw holes are correctly aligned.
6. Screw the new mesh in without overtightening (to avoid deforming it)
7. Make sure the mesh does not touch the fan blades at any point.
8. Reconnect the plug and turn on the incubator to check that it is working correctly.

💡 Advice from 45 years of experience: When replacing the mesh, take the opportunity to thoroughly clean the fan and the inside of the upper compartment. Remove dust, feathers, and accumulated debris—this will improve ventilation efficiency.

❌ Common mistakes to avoid

• Don't order the wrong net: CIP CIP 28 and CIP CIP 40 have different net sizes – always check your model
• Do not overtighten the screws: You risk deforming the new mesh, ruining the replacement.
• Do not force the net into the fixing points: If it does not fit easily, you probably ordered the wrong model
• Don't forget to clean: Putting a new mesh on a dirty fan won't solve ventilation problems.

How to clean your net properly (without damaging it):

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I know if I have a CIP CIP 28 or a CIP CIP 40?
A: Look at the nameplate on the back of the incubator, or count the capacity: 28 or 40 chicken eggs indicates a model number of 28 or 40, respectively. Not sure? Send us a photo on WhatsApp .

Q: Can I mount the 28 mesh on the 40 or vice versa?
A: No, the sizes are different and are not interchangeable. Always order the specific net for your model.

Q: The net is slightly bent, do I need to replace it?
A: It depends on the extent of the warping. If it's not touching the fan blades and the mesh is still intact, you can try gently straightening it. If it's touching the fan blades, it needs to be replaced.

Q: How long does a safety net last?
A: With proper use and regular cleaning with non-aggressive products, it can last for many years (even 5-10 years or more). Lifespan depends on frequency of use and maintenance.

Q: Can I use generic wire mesh instead of the original one?
A: Not recommended. The original FIEM mesh has dimensions, mesh pitch, and thickness specifically designed to ensure proper ventilation and protection. A generic mesh may not be compatible or compromise efficiency.
