− | '''''Do not change the media without prior approval from the Hot Metal Shop host!''''' | + | # Check the sticker on the front of the cabinet to see what media is loaded. If it's not what you need, proceed to step 2. |
| + | # Make sure the bucket labeled with the same media as what's in the cabinet is empty, clean and dry. |
| + | # Place the bucket under the hopper at the bottom of the cabinet. |
| + | # Pull down on the door, it's on a heavy spring and will snap back, you have to hold it. The media will fall into the bucket. |
| + | # Make sure the cabinet is free as possible of the old media, mixing and matching media is a no-no. |
| + | # Remove the bucket from under the cabinet. ''It will be quite heavy.'' |
| + | # Put the lid on the bucket! |
| + | # Find the bucket of media you want to use, open doors to the cabinet and pour the contents into the cabinet via the grate. |
| + | # '''''Label what media is currently loaded, the date, and who loaded it.''''' |
| + | # Enjoy! |
