Beware of Magnet Locations
This is a good shelf but...
After putting it in place, the oven controls would not operate properly. Since we didn't use the oven for the first several days after installation, we never realized the shelf had caused a problem. Even after the first baked casserole did not cook properly, we didn't make the connection. We chalked that up to my male culinary skills on a new recipe.
A few days later, the wife, with better culinary skills, on a regular recipe informed me that the oven was malfunctioning. After some troubleshooting, we figured out that the magnets were messing with the electronic controls.
To solve the problem, we moved the magnets to the outside edge of the range backsplash control unit. See arrows on photo.
I find it hard to believe this issue hasn't popped up before, and appropriate warning given.
