Rcom 60 Operating manual

RCOM CURADLE PET BROODER 60 OR 90 MODEL IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please, leave the "NEW" Sticker on the front clear window. Removing it may leave the glue on the window and removing
the little glue with detergents or harsh chemicals may leave the clear window cloudy. Damage to the window caused by
the removal of the sticker is not covered under your warranty and replacement parts will be at your expense.
Please, set the temperature and humidity alarms for HI and LOW about two degrees above and below the desired
values. (Instructions included in the owner’s manual)
1. The bottom drawer tray is intentionally manufactured so that is not easy to slide out at first. This is so that pets do not
push it out easily. However, this makes it hard to take out for the first few times. Please make sure to follow the steps
listed below for proper removal of the tray and to prevent damage to your unit.
a. Before removing the tray, make sure any tape, manuals, and packing material are removed from the inside.
b. Sometimes during shipping, the tray may get pushed back and become lodged in the track.
c. You need to wiggle the tray from side to side while pulling it out slowly. Make sure the drawer right and left edges are
centered. Please, make sure it is centered and apply even pull to get it out.
d. If the tray still remains "stuck" you will need to stand the machine it on the left side and push the tray out from the
back. This will make it easier to remove for the first time. Please note that the tray slides out in the direction of the
handles.
e. Please note, after removing the tray for the first time you may need to use a drop of cooking oil or food grade silicone
on the right and left side edges or tracks. This will help the tray to slide easily on the tracks and help prevent the tray
from becoming stuck.
2. Please make sure you are only using Distilled Water and no Fluoride. If the machine shows the build-up of calcium,
lime, or hard water deposits it could become damaged and not function properly. This is the reason that you must use
distilled water only. Distilled water is sold by the gallon at most grocery stores in the water section and then simply use
the gallon as the water container. Make sure to place this gallon of water lower than the bottom of the machine as
excess water in the tube needs to be able to gravity feed back to the jug. Next, place the supplied tube inside the water
jug and connect the other end of the tubing (following the instructions in the provided machine manual) to the machine
in order for the automatic water to work. This will allow the internal pump to draw in water as needed and prevent you
from having to add water manually to the internal water reservoir. Please note that the internal water pump will only
engage when water is called for. This means if the current humidity is set for 40% but the actual reading of humidity
internally is at 50% the pump will not engage until the internal humidity drops below 40%. The recommended starting
temperature and humidity settings can be accessed on the product page of our website under the "Manuals and
Instructions" tab and then located via the pdf titled "Incubator and Icu - Recommended Temperature, Humidity, and

Oxygen Settings". There is also additional information including videos, pdf's, and other information that can be
accessed here at your convenience.
Cleaning of the water system is an important part of the recommended maintenance of the machine and ensures that
the components are working to their full potential. You should use distilled water only in the machine to help prevent
malfunction of the internal water and humidity components. This keeps your system operating at full potential and
helps to eliminate unnecessary component failure and replacement.
3. Please note that only one side of the internal light works. The reason for that is that our research indicated that
having two lights could cause blindness to the babies in the machine. Therefore, we do not recommend lights on two
sides. The light is located on the right side of the unit when looking through the window. The other side has a similar
cover but this is only there for cosmetic purposes and is not a functional light.
4. Please make sure to wash the inside filters regularly otherwise, temperature and humidity can fluctuate and dirt may
clog the filters and prevent adequate air circulation. The filters are behind the side wall screens. Please, use gentle force
after unscrewing the screen to unlock it while gently while pulling it out. Please, wash and dry the filters often (every
few days or more often if needed). We recommend washing the filters under the sink in warm soapy water. Then, rinse
with warm water and pat completely dry with a paper towel making sure it does not leave residue on the filter. You may
also air dry the filters. Please make sure they are completely dry before reinserting them into the machine as any
moisture still trapped inside the filter can contribute to a rise in humidity readings.
5. Please note that water inside the machine, unclean filters, or excessive excrement may cause the humidity levels to
rise. Please make sure to keep the machine clean!
6. Also, it is important to use a safety surge protector on all machines to protect your machine from an electrical outage.
We are not responsible for power surges resulting in damage to your machine from using it without an appropriate
power surge protector.
7. Additional connections, attachments, and add-on options for your unit can be found on our website at
https://LifelinePetSupplies.com
This includes oxygen concentrators, oxygen tubing, nebulizer pumps, absorbent washable pee pads, replacement filters,
and all the additional attachments for adding any of our add-on items to the unit. This allows you to create a true animal
intensive care unit and provide veterinary care from home at a fraction of the cost.
8. If the internal actual temperature measured by a reliable meter is placed around the center and differs from the
displayed temperature, please make sure the filters are clean and there are no excess soils inside the machine. If the
issue persists you may do the following steps below to return the unit to "Factory Settings" or what we like to call a
Factory Reset.

9. You can reset the B90 or B60 Curadle Icu to factory initialization by doing the following:
a. Unplug the power cord while pressing and holding the 'Power' button.
b. Re-plug the power cord. You should see "rSt" on the display screen if the factory reset was successful. If not, repeat
the steps above until you get a successful reset.
Once you see the "rSt" come up on the display screen the ICU will be initialized to the original factory settings.
*Please note, this means you will then need to reset your desired temperature and humidity settings.
10. If the internal reliable meter reads different temperature and/or humidity than the displayed Temperature or
Humidity and did not resolve after factory initialization, then you can recalibrate the temperature:
The recalibration is best done when the surrounding Temperature is about 77F and the humidity is between 50-60%:
Please, set the recalibration thermo/hygrometer above the bottom tray in the center about 4.7 inches above the bottom
of the tray. Set the temperature at 95F and when it reaches that, wait 20 minutes and then begin the recalibration:
a. Press together the "Temp+" and "OK" and hold for about 8 seconds
b. On the screen will display "CA" and beep. Release the fingers.
c. Then go up or down to match the internal temperature on the meter
d. Then press "OK".
11. If the internal actual humidity measured by a reliable meter and placed around the center differs than the displayed
Humidity, and the filters are clean and no excess soils inside the machine, then you can recalibrate the Humidity:
a Press together the "Hum+" and "OK" and hold for about 5 seconds
b. On the screen will display "CA" and you hear a beep. Release, the fingers.
c. Then go up or down to match the internal humidity on the meter
d. Then press "OK".
