Description and function
2.1
Description
The appliance can heat the interior up to 70 ºC and cool it down to 0 ºC. In addition to
the HPP standard equipment, the appliance features an exhaust fan in the back of the
chamber and 4 swivel-type LED light strips for adjusting the interior lighting in steps of
1 %. HPPlife appliances have more humidity. Therefore, use the central compressed air
dehumidification (see page 13).
2.2
Working range
The temperature-humidity diagram (Fig. 2) specifies at what range of temperature and
humidity a permanent, condensation-free operation is possible.
Caution:
Always observe the indicated humidity-temperature range. Otherwise, puddles may
form in the chamber and leak through the door seal.
