Aluminum foil and oven liners NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Aluminum foil and oven liners (cont'd) Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to cover the oven bottom or any oven racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven, including the warmer drawer (on some models).
