The cast should not be stored above:

A
50° C
B
55° C
C
40° C
D
45° C
High-Yield Explanation
If the storage temperature is raised to between 90°C and 110°C (194°F to 230°F), shrinkage occurs, along with loss of strength as the water of crystallization is removed and the dihydrate reverts to the hemihydrate form. As a rule of thumb, it is not safe to store or heat a stone cast in air at a temperature higher than 55°C (130°F).  Phillips Science of Dental Materials ed 12 pg 192
