30 -35Celsius is good. I use a closet where I have heat blower with thermostat.  Honey boxes are in closet 6 hour before extracting.

Capping wax must be in quite warm place so honey comes out from crushed cappings. Otherwise it has really much valuable honey.

70 F Minimum.  100 F maximum.  80 to 90 F would be optimum.  Runny honey but the wax not too soft.
