Materials used

Component

FT6060

Casing

Galvanized sheet steel, painted/coated RAL 9002

Inner chamber

Stainless steel, material No. 1.4301

Trays

Chromium-plate steel wire

Thermal insulation

Mineral fiber wool

Door seal

Seasoned silicone rubber

Control panel cover

Toughened safety glass / silicate glass

Operator control membrane

Printed polyester foil

Door handle

Heating element

Stainless stell tubing filled with magnesium oxide
and heating conductors

Electrical components

Various plastic-encapsulated components, some
mounted on glass fibre reinforced PCBs with epoxy
resin

Fibrous materials used for insulation are classified as health hazards in some countries. Although the fibers released into the

environment during normal operation do not constitute a serious risk, greater quantities may be released as a result of improper
handling during repair work or as a result of mechanical damage.
