Operating Instructions

- Drip Collection: Place the tray on a lower shelf beneath items being roasted on a rack to catch fats, juices, and food particles, keeping your oven cleaner.

- Storage: Store the clean, dry drip tray in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your drip tray, consider the following:
- Food Sticking: Ensure the tray is adequately greased or lined with baking paper if required by your recipe. Avoid overheating an empty tray.
