Settings of Gentle drying
Gentle drying
This drying program is suitable for the gentle drying of substances which tend to form a
skin (e.g. substances containing sugar or volatile substances). With this program the temperature
is continuously increased and attains the selected drying temperature only after
the elapse of the so-called ramp time. The «ramp», i.e. the time that should elapse
between the start of drying and attainment of the final temperature can be pre-set.

In this menu item you can define the Ramp time, i.e. the time that should elapse between the start of drying
and attainment of the final temperature. The ramp is started once the temperature reaches 50 °C.
