Magnets on the Front Bezel

The glass panel has a thin silver ferrous metal band affixed to the perimeter which is magnetically attracted to the fourteen magnets (circled below) which are attached to the front bezel. These magnets hold the glass panel in place. Suction cups are used to pull the glass panel away from the magnets on the front bezel. .
