For example, the spring fixing portion 464 may be located above the hinge 462 and the fixing protrusion 463 may be located below the hinge 462.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, in a state where the fixing protrusion 463 is inserted into the fixing groove 313, the position of the rack supporter 40 is fixed.

In this case, the elastic force of the first elastic member 442 may be set to be greater than the elastic force of the second elastic member 470.

As illustrated in FIG. 9, in order to adjust the height of the rack supporter 40, the user can operate the lever 440. For example, the user may pull the lever 440 in a process of holding the handle 412.

Then, as an example, the lower end of the lever 440 may be rotated in a direction closer to the handle 412 based on FIG. 9. In this case, the upper end of the lever 440 may be rotated in a direction away from the handle 412.

By the rotation of the lever 440, the transmission unit 450 is moved to the rear. When the transmission unit 450 moves backward, the fixing protrusion 463 is rotated in a direction which is separated from the fixing groove 313 by the transmission unit 450. When the fixing protrusion 463 is separated from the fixing groove 313 and moved to the guide groove 312, the rack supporter 40 can move up and down.

In this state, the user can move the rack supporter 40 upward or downward, and in a state where the height is determined, the operation of the lever 440 is released. Then, the lever 440 is returned to the original position thereof by the first elastic member 442, and the adjustment device 460 is rotated by the second elastic member 470, the fixing protrusion 463b is inserted into one of the plurality of fixing grooves 313, and thus the position of the rack supporter 40 is fixed.

According to the proposed embodiment, since the lower fixing portion is integrally formed or coupled with the frame forming the cooking chamber and thus the upper fixing portion is combined, a groove or protrusion for directly supporting the rack or a hole for movement of the rack is not formed on the frame, there is an advantage that the structure of the frame becomes simple.

In addition, since the rack supporter can move up and down with respect to the guide member in s state where the rack is supported by the rack supporter, there is an advantage that the structure of the frame is simplified and the height of the rack can be adjusted.

In addition, since the rack supporter can move up and down with respect to the guide member in a state where the rack is supported by the rack supporter, the height of the rack can be adjusted without taking the rack out of the cooking chamber.

In addition, since the rack support device can be separated from the frame, it is possible to easily clean the cooking chamber in the frame in a state where the rack support device is separated from the frame.
