⚙️ How the COSMO Fan Protection Net Works
The fan guard is a metal grille located in front of the fan motor on the top of the COSMO incubator. Its function is simple but essential: to prevent feathers, eggshells, dust, and other foreign objects from falling into the rotating blades and preventing your hands from touching the blades.
The fan runs continuously for 21 days (or more), mixing warm air and evenly distributing temperature and humidity. Without the protective mesh, any debris could jam the blades, damage the motor, or create imbalances that cause vibrations and noise.
The original FIEM mesh has a calibrated mesh: tight enough to block debris, yet open enough to allow airflow. A non-original mesh with a different mesh size may reduce ventilation or provide inadequate protection.

🔍 When to replace this part
Replace the COSMO fan protection mesh if you notice:
- ✓ Broken or punctured netting: Holes through which debris could pass.
- ✓ Wider mesh: the mesh no longer traps feathers and fine dust.
- ✓ Deformed net: bent inward, it risks touching the blades.
- ✓ Rhythmic noise from the fan: often caused by the mesh brushing against the blades with each rotation.
- ✓ Advanced rust: Corrosion weakens the structure and can cause links to fail.
⚠️ Why it happens and what you risk
The protective mesh is mainly damaged by accidental impacts during cleaning or corrosion due to constant humidity. Even the pressure applied when cleaning the fan can deform it over time.
A damaged mesh exposes the fan to real risks: a feather landing in the blades can unbalance them, causing vibrations that accelerate motor wear. An eggshell can suddenly jam the blades, burning out the motor. People often think the fan needs replacing, when simply checking the mesh can identify the real cause of the problem.

🔧 Assembly in 4 simple steps
Estimated time: 10-15 minutes | Tools: Phillips screwdriver
- Turn off and unplug the incubator
Unplug the machine from the electrical outlet. Let it cool if it was running.
- Access the fan compartment
Lift the upper body (upper valve) to access the ventilation assembly at the top.
- Replace the network
Unscrew the screws holding the old mesh. Remove it carefully without forcing it. Position the new mesh and secure it with the same screws.
- Final test
Close the case, plug it back in, and turn it on. Check that the fan spins freely without making any noise or grinding.
🛡️ How to make it last longer
- ✓ After each cycle: Gently vacuum feathers and dust from the net with a vacuum cleaner on low power.
- ✓ Every 6 months: check for deformations or rust spots.
- ✓ When cleaning: use a soft cloth, do not press hard on the mesh.
- ⚠️ DON'T: Do not use direct jets of water, do not push the mesh towards the blades when cleaning.
