Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room.

The insert can also be removed to provide room for large items such as a turkey and casseroles. Do not place more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on the splitrack. The insert can also be used on the counter for a cooling rack.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.
