Description and use

combination of the low temperatures of external air and
the high levels of moisture in the air in the areas being
treated.
The connection box at the top of the body provides
access to the electrical wiring terminals, and also
contains two thermostats:
-an
auto-reset safety thermostat calibrated at 55°C ±
10% for 500 W version and 45°C ± 10% for 750 W
version.
-and
manual reset thermostat calibrated at 85°C ±
