Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms.
The foil will trap heat below and upset the
performance of the oven. Foilcan melt
and permanently damage the oven bottom.
Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is
not covered by the product warranty.
Foilmay 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 !-1/2" from
oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
