Aluminum Foil and Metal

Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from

used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause
damage to the oven.
OK for Use
Racks and bakeware supplied with the oven (if supplied),
aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers
may be used with the following guidelines:
Never allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity
walls, ceiling or floor.
Always use the turntable.
Never allow contact with another metal object during

cooking.

Do Not Use
Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-
approved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such
as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver
trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the oven.
