5. Troubleshooting

• Rack Does Not Fit:
  Solution: Verify that your oven model is listed as compatible. Measure the internal dimensions of your oven to ensure they match the rack's specifications (46.5 x 37.5 x 2 cm). If dimensions do not match, the rack may not be suitable for your oven.
• Food Sticking to Rack:
  Solution: For certain foods, it is recommended to lightly grease the rack or use parchment paper/aluminum foil to prevent sticking. Ensure the rack is clean before use.
• Rack Appears Discolored After Use:
  Solution: High temperatures can sometimes cause slight discoloration over time, which is normal for metal oven accessories. This does not affect performance. Ensure proper cleaning after each use.
