3.3 Storage
Intermediate storage of the chamber is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for
temporary decommissioning (chap. 21.2).
• Permissible ambient temperature range during storage: -10 °C / 14°F to +60 °C / 140°F.
• Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.H., non-condensing

tion may form. Before start-up, wait at least one hour until the chamber has attained ambient temperature
and is completely dry.
