At what temperature does the OVHT light illuminate for a feeding tank?

Explanation:
The OVHT light is an overheat indicator for the feeding tank. It illuminates when the tank temperature reaches 57 °C, signaling that cooling or corrective action is needed before temperatures rise further. This specific threshold is chosen to provide early warning and protect the system from damage. The other temperatures shown are not the setpoint for this indicator in the feeding tank, so they don’t trigger the OVHT light.
