Chapter 4 | Product Description Work Space Components Inner Chamber All components of the work space are made of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and have an absolutely smooth and easy-to-clean surface. Any embossings have a large radius. Shelf System The oven is supplied with two wire-mesh shelves. The shelf support rails have an alternating pattern of oblong and round perforations spaced evenly at 30 mm, allowing the shelf support brackets to be inserted without any room for error, yet in a very flexible way to accommodate different heights of sample containers.
Installing the Shelf System The installation of the shelf system does not require any tools. The support rails are secured in place by spring action. Once the shelf support brackets have been inserted into the rails, the wire-mesh shelves can be simply pushed onto their support hooks to complete the installation. NOTE The support rails of the floor stand ovens cannot be removed.
