Each chamber is equipped with dual door limit safety switches that interrupt power to the elements when the door is opened. Fan stops when lower door is opened. (Note: door blocks view of the lower set of controls)

Elements: High temperature alloy wire elements are mounted in porcelain plates on the walls and floor and in grooves in the brick door, this provides all around heating and close gradients throughout the furnace chamber. A ceramic hearth plate covers the floor element.
