1) Value with aluminum racks
2) To 98% of the set value

All technical data are specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) and a line voltage fluctuation of ±10%. These average values have been determined according to the BINDER factory standard, respecting the recommended wall clearances of 10% of the height, width and depth of the inner chamber. Differing ambient temperatures and production-related device-specific variances can lead to varying technical data.

Therefore, we recommend individual customer-specific calibration or validation for applications on the limit of the permitted ambient temperature range.
