I have the hidden heating element on the bottom also and its also a convection oven, when I place foil down it melts and blows around, will this?

Hey Ron, I have exposed heating elements and this melted similar to my experience with aluminum foil liners catching on fire. My best experience so far with oven liners is using cookie tins that are large enough to cover the majority of the bottom of the oven.

My oven is not convection, but the heating element is on the bottom, tho not hidden. I simply lifted up the element, and put the liner on the bottom and have used the oven repeatedly and the liner is fine. Sorry I could not be of more help. Maybe you could contact customer service of your oven manufacturer and see what they recommend.

On the bottom of the oven under heating element. Definitely! It is great. Does a wonderful job. Cleans up easily.

I dont know. Maybe it works on the principal as of the convection oven. Sorry not a very good answer

It does seem to distribute the heat pretty well. The heating element is a sideways U, so in the middle gets heat from 3 sides and the material conducts well. The only spot that may be a little less hot would be where the two sides meet, because of the grease drain, but not enough to unevenly cook something.

The vent is not a problem, provided it can vent, the top does get hot - leaving things on top of the oven, while it is in use, is a mistake to be avoided.

No problem just keep the heat at meduim low and adjust the moisture vents. No need for foil.

No, the heating element is not exposed. It is somewhere inside where you cannot see or touch it.

I know it says to put the liner on the bottom rack. I did not!! I placed it on the bottom of the oven itself. My heating element is not visible - but even if it were I would slide the liner under it. It seems to be working just fine.

I have baked cakes and cupcakes in this oven. The only thing I noticed is that when baking with the convection oven on, it takes less time for the baking to be done. So I check sooner than the directions suggest.

I would contact the manufacturer. It might melt if the temps are above 400. I sit hot pots on it after removing from the stove...but I would think a hot plate and oven might put off higher temps.

I've had mine for 4 months in an oven where the element is not exposed; it's under the metal bottom of the oven.No issues and cleans up well.

Yes I use foil quite often. There is no problem. Think of it as a mini conventional oven that's a little faster

Yes we have a layer of aluminum foil at the bottom of the tray. Just keep it away from the heat elements. Which is not a problem normally.hope that makes sense.

That's a real good question. Our first burnt out and I'm wondering if it didn' t have enough cool air circulating. It was in a close space in our small RV. Haven't had the nerve to use the convection oven sence.

It's my understanding from the reviews that I read before I purchased it that you can NOT put it on the bottom of the oven. I have not tried it as I was afraid that I would either ruin it or be a fire hazard since it was so close to the heating element. One liner I read about melted to the bottom of someones oven. I use it on the bottom rack and it does its job of catching spills. It's very easy to clean. I do wish I could find one that I was sure would work on the very bottom of the oven.

Not readily! Mine also went "cold" and calling direct was of no help! They advised I call a local professional Svc - but to no avail. And you can't order the part, has to be replaced by a Svc person. So my sits idly in the basement as a paper stand! And my digital control loss some functionality. Too much tech in our products rising to too much costly breakdowns. I vowed never to get a convection microwave oven again cuz of the heating element issues (glass tubes with no protective shields/screens). Toaster ovens with metal elements do much better, easier to clean & lasts way longer (went back to using our old Oster t/oven not the prettiest condition but it works fine!) hope this non-solution helps u! Good luck!

I put mine on the bottom of the oven but the heating element weakened the material to where it turned white and then split on one side. My electric oven never set over 425.
