(high setting). Two 20 cm × 20 cm drying frames
and a loading platform (20 cm × 20 cm) are
included. The dryer can hold up to six frames,
and when fully loaded, the dryer can accommo-
date up to six 20 × 20 cm or twenty-four
8 × 10 cm gels. With the 21 cm × 26 cm acces-
sory frames, the dryer can accommodate up
