Shelf Operation
The three drying shelves on the left side wall can be positioned horizontally
to dry small pieces of evidence, or swung down, against the left side wall of
the liner, if needed. To position the shelves in the up (horizontal) position:
1. Pivot the desired shelf until it is above horizontal (the frame of the
shelf is higher than the retaining clip on the back wall of the liner.
2. Push the shelf back all the way.
3. Slowly lower the shelf to a horizontal position, ensuring that the
frame of the shelf engages the retaining clip on the back wall of the
liner. The shelf is now ready to use.
To fold the shelf down (vertical position):
3. Lift up on the rear frame of the shelf, to release it from the rear
retaining clip.
4. Pull the shelf towards the front of the liner.
5. Allow the shelf to swing down into a vertical position.
