Explanation:
Credo che si intenda che l'apertura e chiusura viene attuata quando si raggiunge la temperatura impostata, con una piccola differenza.
Es. se si imposta 30 °C, può essere che scatti a 28 o a 31 °C

Asker: The manual was written by an Italian engineer and the expression appears about 900 times in Google in similar sentences, so I think it does exist exactly like that. Thanks for the help!

agree  philgoddard: I think this is more likely given that they talk about opening and closing, though I agree it's not clear.
