OVENUSE
IMPORTANT: DO not line the oven bottom with any type of foil,
liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the
oven bottom finish.
• Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.
• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
IMPORTANT: Never place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom.
