The user set the temperature protection (lower and upper) by himself and when the set temperature is exceeded, the power heaters or compressor is switched off. When the temperature returns to the allowed range, the device con- tinues the work.
  • Page 26: Cleaning And Maintenance Of The Device

    Instruction Manual INCU-Line Cooled The device is equipped with a protection mechanism against damaging the cooling system. The mechanism makes it impossible to turn on cooling when the temperature exceeds 45ºC. As a result if the device has been programmed to go down with temperature (e.g. from 60ºC to 20ºC) it may take longer for the program to operate until it reaches 45ºC.
