Factory-set standard working temperature is 65 °C. Wax bath heating will automatically switch
on when the actual temperature of the paraffin is 5 °C below set working temperature.
When working with paraffin that has a melting point below 58 °C, the instrument working
temperature can be readjusted with the corresponding setting screw.
