Can you cook a large item with a rack on the bottom of the oven? This would give you 6 positions.

For sure NOT if you’re using steam; maybe otherwise.

Hi Arnold!

No, we do not recommend anything on the bottom of the oven. This is called out in the quick start guide. The evaporator plate is on the bottom of the oven and must remain unobstructed.
