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.
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 rock with
aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from
oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler
pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold
the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just
like the grid.

of meat, slash fat at 1"
intervals.
Space patties evelny. Up to 8

time.
