Conventional Oven Care
Do not store plastic items or other utensils in oven
as they may melt or burn if the oven is accidentally
turned on with them inside. Use large enough cooking pans
to avoid boil-overs. If spills occur, wipe them up
promptly to avoid baking on.
Do not put large pieces of foil on oven floor or racks
unless appliance manual recommends it. Then follow manual
instructions as to size and placement of foil exactly.
Foil in the oven, especially on the racks, may slow
cooking and reduce browning. Do not line broiler pan with
foil, as it concentrates heat and may damage the pan.
