Do you have aluminum foil in the bottom of your Range? 

If you do, we recommend to remove it immediately! Putting aluminum foil on the bottom of a range or oven can cause your unit to not perform properly, as it disrupts the airflow, heating distribution, causes overheating, and damages your appliance long-term. Check out Kelvis' tip below!

    Yes, you should remove any aluminum foil from the bottom of your range. Foil can block airflow, cause uneven heating, lead to overheating, and potentially damage your oven over time. It’s best to keep the bottom of the range clear to ensure proper performance and longevity of your appliance.

    What if the vents are not blocked by the tin foil?
