Before Using the Oven
Aluminum Foil
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of personal injury,
property damage or fire, do not
line oven bottom, racks, or broiler
pan and grid with aluminum foil.
When placed on the oven bottom or
racks, aluminum foil not only creates
a hazard, but also affects cooking
performance. To minimize spills in the
oven, place a shallow pan or cookie
sheet underneath food items that drip or
spill. The pan must not touch the oven
walls, front, or back. DO NOT use
aluminum foil, even if it is trimmed to
size, as a substitute for a drip pan.
