Size is correct, but do I place this mat UNDER the heating element on bottom of my electric oven?

Place it on the bottom rack and be sure to cut it down so there is an inch or so of open space one either side

I wish I could say for certain. I have electric. I would think however, is the flame is only at the top and you have a flat bottom oven with no flame at the bottom (don't know how gas works), I don't see why it wouldn't work. The only thing I have noticed is at higher temps, the mat discolors (whiteish spots) and begins to wear thin at the discoloration spots. You might have to replace more often at high temps.

I ordered the microfiber dish mat to use under mine. I got it on Amazon as well. Works well! And you can wash the dishmat in the washer.

Yes, I use it on the bottom of the oven. The brackets that support the bottom burner keep the burner about an inch above the liner, and it works great. I had to trim it just a little to fit the bottom of the oven.

I have an oven with hidden heating elements. I read the reviews and didn't read anywhere that the liner shouldn't be used on the bottom of this type of oven. I just received the liner and the box says, "For electric ovens that have hidden elements or gas ovens, place the liner on the lowest rack". I'm disappointed.

I have always kept mine on the floor of the oven, under the heating element. The heating element seems a bit raised from it, but the liner is touched on both sides by little metal supports which hold up the element. I swear by this liner and just rinse it off in the sink every once in a while. It is a true lifesaver!

I've only used it to keep spills and drips localized. Don't put it on bottom of oven, but instead put it on a rack (even with a pan sitting on it). The silicon baking mats (Silpat is one brand, etc.)used as baking liners are softer. Hope this helps!

No, it will be too close to the element. I always put my oven rack at the lowest position & then put the 3-in-1 rack on top of the oven rack.

You'd need a minimum of about 11 inches, but you should have more to allow for heat dissipation. By the way, that other answer suggesting 9 inches cannot be correct, at least not for my oven. It stands 10 1/8 inches from bottom to top.

Manual says not to place near or on gas or electric burner, in heated oven (microwave, convection, etc.) or any other heated surface. Hope that helps.

It's supposed to go on the bottom of the oven. However, it burns onto the floor of the oven. My new oven, just installed this past October, is ruined by it. DO NOT BUY IT.Go to a Bed Bath & Beyond type of store, and have them recommend the right kind of oven liner. This is getting returned to Amazon.

Yes, that's why I was looking for something to cover them up..LOL. I do remove when cooking in the oven...don't want to warp it. It fits perfect on my old GE Electric Stove. It acts as additional counter space and has an attractive look when stove is not in use.

Yep. You can cut the plastic mesh with a utility knife and "turn" the mat. Just don't cut the heating element (which is well protected). I've used a lot of these systems over 12 years in the remodeling business. This was a good system and an amazing value. You should have an electrician hook it into the homes' electrical system though - it requires it's own dedicated circuit.

I would put it on the bottom and warm the oven first, then it will be more like an oven. I use the middle for toast.

The directions that came with my silicone oven liner stated very clearly that the liner cannot be placed anywhere except on the bottom of the oven. I put it there, several years ago, below the heating element. It works very well, no problems.

The entire king size pad fits flat on the upper rack of my GE Spacemaker ovenFor lower, rotating "plate", Ok to fold enough to fit. Follow timing/temp guide attached to the pad.

To use, simply place the Chef's Planet Ovenliner on the bottom of your electric oven, under the element or on the drip pan in your toaster oven. For gas ovens, or if your electric oven has no visible element, place the Ovenliner on the bottom rack.
