Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil.
You can use ahmfinum foil to line tile

must mold the fifil tightly to the grid and
cut slits in it just like the grid.
Oven Moisture

water droplets to form on tile door glass.
These droplets are hamfless and will

_duminum fi)il may also be used to catch a
spillove_: To do so, place a small sheet of
toil on a lower shelf several inches below

Never entirely cover a shelf xfith almninmn
