CAUTION
Do not use any type of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom. These items can block airflow
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, smoke or fire. Damage from
improper use of these items is not covered by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil
than necessary, and never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to
allow proper heat circulation.
