MAGNETIC AUTO-EJECT RACK
When the wire rack is inserted into the middle
rack position, it will automatically eject halfway
out of the oven when the door is opened so
you can easily remove your toasted items.
Always open the door slowly when the wire rack
is in this position to prevent the rack from ejecting
too quickly.
NOTE
The top of the oven is very hot during and after
operation. As a result, storing items on top
of the oven is not recommended.
The Sage Bamboo Cutting Board fits
in the ribbed section on top of the oven. Visit
