CAUTION:
When you are using the offset rack (on 27" models) in the lowest
position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack
out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and
then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides
of it. The offset rack is low and you could be burned if you place
your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be
very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using a rack
in the lowest position (A),
