I got just the oven without any pans or extras. There is a piece of transparent plastic attached. What is it for; what does it do?

The plastic helps to trap the heat inside the oven. When you use the oven it may seem that the plastic would melt but it withstands the heat that the solar energy generates.

The plastic is to isolate what ever you are cooking from cooling effects of the wind.

I noticed that it caused my cabinet to separate, which means there is a lot of heat generated from the top, so I moved it out from underneat the cabinet and it's fine. I have a granite counter top so it's ok on that.I love the oven!!

I am not sure what it is....sort of a very flimsy metal with lots of square holes...I can tell you it is amazing...makes the world of difference in foods cooked on thisthan ones just put on a cookie sheet in the oven.

Hello- I returned the Magic Chef I bought on Amazon because the thing you push to open the door got stuck and would not pop back out. The entire oven is plastic and very flimsy--just like that plastic junk that you often see thrown out in lower income neighborhoods! I ended up buying a Magic Chef at Home Depot that is metal, looks better, slightly bigger, and about the same price as the Amazon one, which came from a Walmart store.

To be sure I would suggest that you check with the manufacturer of your oven; they often use secondary parts but you should double check

Can't comment on baking but you can take it out of the oven without a rack.

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.

Fortunately, I have some VERY recent info on that rack :) I ruined mine...by I guess overheating it in the broiler or putting it in the dishwasher. Normally, I use the pan for baking/grilling etc and it is super for single or small servings. But, I used it to grill hotdogs and accidentally left it in the oven and next day went to preheat oven and the rack was a mess....as the plastic or whatever coating on it half melted and or came off in places. If you put it in hot oil I think it will ruin it. It is definitely not stainless steel but a metal with a black coating looks like vinyl. Hope this helps.

I have it and have not used it but the print I made out of it was dull too but what the seller said is that it will appear cleaner and sharper after going tru the ovun. For me I just installed it and have no oven to use it yet.

I would just pull it off. You will probably have some of the adhesive left on the oven, if so I would just use some Goof Off to remove it.

I assume it has something to do with the sensor, since I didn't have it in my other oven

Additional answer: Perhaps the plastic is just protecting it and you just need to remove the plastic.

It doesn't look like Teflon to me. It looks and feels more like powder coated metal. I haven't used the oven for anything gooey, so I don't know how easily it would clean up.

I threw mine away because it got glued to the bottom of my brand new oven the very first time I used it at less than 400 degrees !!It also left a white mark on it. My oven too has the self cleaning feature but I got the white mark off first using one of those spray on oven cleaner that can be used with a cool oven. The stain came out after the second treatment. I didn't dare to use the self cleaning feature with that stuff still glued to it. Just try and see what happens. Good luck!!

I baked twice with it and there was no dome in the cake. The high temperature of the oven causes the doming but then a goodquality pan will make a difference in the way heat is distributed. Nonetheless, it is the best pan I've had, sturdy, will last youa very long time. The straight sides make very nice cakes.

Not trying to be sarcastic, but the best place you can put that whole thing is back in the box and send it back. The white bar, I THINK is supposed to keep the plastic / foil from clinging back to the roll. I've put it in there and tried feeding over and under it. It's a piece of junk. Save yourself. Send it back. :)

yes, that's what adds to its functionality. leave on top of oven, and then use as a hotplate later. i really like this product.
