• Do not use the door handles to push or pull the range during installation or when moving the range out for cleaning or service. Doing so can result in serious damage to the door of the range.

Remove packing material, tape and any temporary labels from your range before using. Do not remove any warning-type labels, the model and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located on the back of the range.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your range.

Your range is heavy and can be installed on soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. Use a belt when moving the range to prevent damaging the floor. Or slide the range onto cardboard or plywood to avoid damaging the floor covering.

Choosing the Proper Location

CAUTION

• Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To minimize the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of operating burners, install a ventilation hood over the range that projects forward at least five inches beyond the front of the cabinets.
• Make sure wall covering, countertop and cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up to 194 °F) generated by the range. Discoloration, delamination or melting may occur. This range has been designed to comply with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperature of 194 °F.
• Before installing the range in an area covered with linoleum or other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand temperatures of at least 200 °F (93 °C).
• Use an insulated pad or 1/4 in. (0.64 cm) plywood under the range if installing the range over carpeting.

The range should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet. This prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Using the Cooktop

Cooking Areas

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.

When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooktop surface. The element cycles on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.

NOTE

It is normal to see a very faint red ring around the outer edge of a dual or triple element when using it as a single element at a high heat setting. This is only a reflection from the bright glow of the center element and is not a malfunction.

Hot Surface Indicator

The hot surface indicator light glows as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch.

It remains on after the element is turned off and until the surface has cooled to approximately 150 °F.

CAUTION

It is normal for the surface elements to cycle on and off during cooking, even on higher settings. This will happen more frequently if cooking on a lower temperature setting.

Using the Cooktop Elements

CAUTION

• Only use cookware and dishes that are safe for oven and cooktop use.
• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the cooktop and oven.
• Do not place sealed containers on the cooktop.
• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food while on the cooktop. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.
• Never leave food on the cooktop unattended. Spillovers can cause smoke. Greasy spillovers may catch on fire.
• The surface element may appear to have cooled after it has been turned off. The element may still be hot and touching the element before it has cooled sufficiently can cause burns.

Turning on a Single element

1. Push the Single element knob in.
2. Turn the knob in either direction to the desired setting. The control knob clicks when it is positioned at both Off and Hi.

NOTE

• Hi is the highest temperature available.
• Lo is the lowest temperature available.

1 Push in the appropriate knob

2-A Turn the knob counterclockwise to use it as a Single element.

2-B Turn the knob clockwise to the Dual position to use as a Dual element

2-C Turn the knob clockwise to the Triple position to use as a Triple element.

Turning on the Warming Zone

CAUTION

FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140 °F.

• Always start with hot food. Do not use the warm setting to heat cold food.
• Do not use the warm setting for more than 2 hours.
• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the center warming element.

The Warming Zone, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature. Use the Warming Zone to keep food warm after it has already been cooked. Attempting to cook uncooked or cold food on the Warming Zone could result in a food-borne illness.

1. Turn the control knob to the On position.

NOTE

• For best results, food on the warmer should be kept in its container or covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.
• The warmer will not glow red like the other cooking elements.
• The Warming Zone can be operated as a single element on some models.

The Recommended Surface Cooking Setting

Using the Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware will influence the settings needed for the best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by placing a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. The ruler should touch the cookware across the entire bottom, with no gaps.

Cookware recommendations

Flat bottom and straight sides

Heavy-gauge pans

Pan sizes that match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element

Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced

Tight-fitting lids

Flat bottom woks

Cookware should not

• have a curved or warped bottom
• be smaller or larger than the surface burner.
• have a heavy handle that tilts the pan.

NOTE

• Do not use pans less than 7 inches in diameter on the front elements.
• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. Do not use the cooktop if metal has melted on it. Call an authorized LG Service Center.

Choosing Cookware

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on glass-ceramic (see Aluminum above).

Stainless steel - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast iron - A poor heat conductor but retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure that the canner is centered over the surface element and is flat on the bottom.

• The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the element. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil and may damage the cooktop.
• Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smooth surfaces.
• Use the high heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.
• Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil, or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged.

Using the Oven

Before Using the Oven

NOTE

• Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven thermometer placed in the oven cavity may not show the same temperature that is set on the oven.
• It is normal for the convection fan to run while preheating during a regular bake cycle.
• The convection fan motor may run periodically during a regular bake cycle.
• The heat turns off if the door is left open during baking. If the door is left open for longer than 30 seconds during baking, the heat turns off. The heat turns back on automatically once the door is closed.

Oven Vent

Areas near the vent may become hot during operation and may cause burns. Do not block the vent opening. Avoid placing plastics near the vent as heat may distort or melt the plastic.

It is normal for steam to be visible when cooking foods with high moisture conten

Using Oven Racks

The racks have a turned-up back edge that prevents them from being pulled out of the oven cavity.

Removing Racks

1. Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2. Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.

Replacing Racks

1. Place the end of the rack on the support.
2. Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.

CAUTION

• Replace oven racks before turning the oven on to prevent burns.
• Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or any other material, or place anything on the bottom of the oven. Doing so will result in poor baking and may damage the oven bottom.
• Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.

Bake

Bake is used to prepare foods such as pastries, breads and casseroles. The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170 °F (80 °C) to 550 °F (285 °C). The default temperature is 350 °F (175 °C).

Setting the Bake Function (example, 375 °F)

1. Touch Bake.
2. Set the oven temperature: touch 3, 7 and 5.
3. Touch Start. The oven starts to preheat.
   As the oven preheats, the temperature is displayed and rises in 5-degree increments. Once the oven reaches the set temperature, a tone sounds and the oven light blinks on and off.
4. When cooking is complete, touch Clear/Off.
5. Remove food from the oven.

NOTE It is normal for the convection fan to operate periodically throughout a normal bake cycle in the lower oven. This is to ensure even baking results.

Baking Tips

• Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the characteristics, size, and shape of the baking pan used.
• Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time.
• Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick finish), heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or other bakeware recommended for oven use.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook food faster with more browning. Insulated bakeware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.

NOTE

The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the rack you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are highly acidic may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain-enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately.

Convection Mode

The convection system uses a fan to circulate the heat evenly within the oven. Improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results while cooking with single or multiple racks.

Setting the Convection Function (example, 375 °F)

1. Touch Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast. The display flashes 350 °F.
2. Set the oven temperature: touch 3, 7 and 5.
3. Touch Start. The display shows Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast and the oven temperature starting at 100 °F.
   Touch Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast. The display flashes 350 °F. 2 Set the oven temperature: touch 3, 7 and 5. 3 Touch Start. The display shows Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast and the oven temperature starting at 100 °F.
4. When cooking has finished or to cancel, touch Clear/Off.

NOTE The oven fan runs while convection baking. The fan stops when the door is open. In some cases, the fan may shut off during a convection bake cycle.

Tips for Convection Baking

• Use Convection Bake for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.
• Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
• When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 3. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 1 and 3 (for two racks).
• Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods. Cakes, cookies and muffins have better results when using multiple racks.

The Convection Roast feature is designed to give optimum roasting performance. Convection Roast combines cooking with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. The heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Foods are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. Convection roasting is especially good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

Tips for Convection Roasting

Use a broiler pan and grid when preparing meats for convection roasting. The broiler pan catches grease spills and the grid helps prevent grease splatters.

1. Place the oven rack on the bottom.
2. Place the grid in the broiler pan.
3. Place the broiler pan on the oven rack

CAUTION

• Do not use a broiler pan without a grid.
• Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil.
• Position food (fat side up) on the grid.

Recommended Baking and Roasting Guide

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in the positions shown.

Broil

The Broil function uses intense heat from the upper heating element to cook food. Broiling works best for tender cuts of meat, fish, and thinly cut vegetables.

Some models may feature a hybrid broiler consisting of an inner broiler that utilizes a carbon heating element which provides instantaneous heat, and a traditional outer broiling element. During normal broiler operation, it is normal for either element to cycle off intermittently.

CAUTION

• Do not use a broiler pan without a grid. Oil can cause a grease fire.
• Do not cover the grid and broiler pan with aluminum foil. Doing so will cause a fire.
• Always use a broiler pan and grid for excess fat and grease drainage. This will help to reduce splatter, smoke, and flare-ups.

NOTE This range is designed for closed-door broiling. Close the door to set the Broil function. If the door is open, the Broil function cannot be set and door appears on the display. Close the door and reset the Broil function. Opening the door turns off the broil burner during broiling. If the door is opened during broiling, the broil burner turns off after five seconds. The broiler turns back on automatically once the door is closed.

Speed Broil (on some models)

The Speed Broil setting is designed to reduce the amount of time it takes to broil foods. By utilizing the infrared broil element, which provides heat instantaneously, there is no need for preheating.

Setting the oven to Broil / Speed Broil

1. Touch Broil or Speed Broil once for Hi or twice for Lo.
2. Touch Start. The oven begins to heat.
3. Let the oven preheat for approximately five minutes before cooking the food if using broil.
4. Touch Clear/Off to cancel at any time or when cooking is complete.

Smoking

Due to the intense heat associated with broiling, it is normal to experience smoke during the cooking process. This smoke is a natural byproduct of searing and should not cause you to worry. If you are experiencing more smoke than you are comfortable with, use the following tips to reduce the amount of smoke in your oven.

1. Always use a broiler pan. Do not use saute pans or regular baking sheets for safety reasons.
2. The broiler pan should always be thoroughly cleaned and at room temperature at the beginning of cooking.
3. Always run your cooktop ventilation system or vent hood during broiling.
4. Keep the interior of your oven as clean as possible. Leftover debris from prior meals can burn or catch fire.
5. Avoid fatty marinades and sugary glazes. Both of these will increase the amount of smoke you experience. If you would like to use a glaze, apply it at the very end of cooking.
6. If you are experiencing significant smoke with any food item, consider:
   • Lowering the broiler to the Lo setting.
   • Lowering the rack position to cook the food further away from the broiler.
   • Using the Hi broil setting to achieve the level of searing you desire, and then either switching to the Lo broil setting, or switching to the Bake function.
7. As a rule, fattier cuts of meat and fish will produce more smoke than leaner items.
8. Adhere to the recommended broil settings and cooking guidelines in the chart on the following page whenever possible.

Recommended Broiling Guide

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature. For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling.

• This guide is only for reference. Adjust cook time according to your preference

NOTE

The USDA advises that consuming raw or undercooked fish, meat, or poultry can increase your risk of foodborne illness. The USDA has indicated the following as safe minimum internal temperatures for consumption:

• Ground beef: 160 °F (71.1 °C)
• Poultry: 165 °F (73.9 °C)
• Beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 145 °F (62.8 °C)
• Fish / Seafood: 145 °F (62.8 °C)

Tips for Broiling

Beef

• Steaks and chops should always be allowed to rest for five minutes before being cut into and eaten. This allows the heat to distribute evenly through the food and creates a more tender and juicy result.
• Pieces of meat that are thicker than two inches should be removed from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking. This will help them cook more quickly and evenly, and will produce less smoke when broiling. Cooking times will likely be shorter than the times indicated in the Broiling Chart.
• For bone-in steaks or chops that have been frenched (all meat removed from around the bone), wrap the exposed sections of bone in foil to reduce burning.

Seafood

• When broiling skin-on fish, always use the Lo broil setting and always broil the skin side last.
• Seafood is best consumed immediately after cooking. Allowing seafood to rest after cooking can cause the food to dry out.
• It is a good idea to rub a thin coating of oil on the surface of the broiling pan before cooking to reduce sticking, especially with fish and seafood. You can also use a light coating of non-stick pan spray.

Vegetables

• Toss your vegetables lightly in oil before cooking to improve browning.

Warm

This function will maintain an oven temperature of 170 °F. The Warm function will keep cooked food warm for serving up to three hours after cooking has finished.

Setting the Proof Function

1. Use rack position 2 or 3 for proofing.
2. Touch Warm/Proof until Proof appears in the display.
3. Touch Start.
4. Touch Clear/Off when proofing is finished.

NOTE

• To avoid lowering the oven temperature and lengthening proofing time, do not open the oven door unnecessarily. Check bread products early to avoid over proofing.
• Do not use the proofing mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to keep foods at safe temperatures. Use the Warm feature to keep food warm. Proofing does not operate when the oven is above 125 °F. Hot shows in the display.
• It is normal for the fan to operate during the Proof function.

Pizza

The Pizza function is specially designed for cooking pizza. It heats from both the top and bottom to brown food more evenly.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Glass-Ceramic Cooktop

CAUTION

• Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning pads. They may damage your cooktop surface.
• For your safety, wear an oven mitt or pot holder while using a scraper on the hot cooking surface.

Use ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective or may scratch, damage or stain the cooktop surface.

To maintain and protect the surface of the glass cooktop, follow these steps:

1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2. Use ceramic cooktop cleaner daily to help keep the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface.
5. Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue.

NOTE Do not heat the cooktop until it has been cleaned thoroughly.

IMPORTANT

If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves, ketchup, tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, chocolate) spills, or plastic or foil melts on the cooktop, remove the molten material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper (it will not damage the decorated cooking surface) while the cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of damage to the glass-ceramic surface. For your safety, please use an oven mitt or pot holder while scraping the hot cooking surface.

Burned-On Residue

1 While the cooktop is still hot, remove any burnt on deposits or spilled food from the glass-ceramic cooking surface with a suitable metal razor scraper. (Similar to scraping paint off of a windowpane, it will not damage the decorated cooking surface.) Hold the scraper at an approximate 30° angle to the cooktop.

2 When the cooking surface has cooled down, apply a few dabs (about the size of a dime) of an approved cleaner in each burner area and work the cleaning cream over the cooktop surface with a damp paper towel.

NOTE

Approved cleaners

• Weiman Cooktop Cleaning Cream (www.weiman.com)
• Cerama Bryte (www.ceramabryte.com)
• Golden Ventures Cerama Bryte
• Easy-Off 3 in 1 Glass Top Cleaner Spray (www.easyoff.us)

3 Rinse with clean water and wipe the cooktop surface with a clean, dry paper towel.

Metal Marks and Scratches

1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across the cooktop. Doing so will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface. To help remove these marks, use a ceramic cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration

CAUTION

Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. may be permanent.

• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.
• Do not use cookware with any dirt build-up on the bottom

EasyClean®

LG’s EasyClean® enamel technology provides two cleaning options for the inside of the range. The EasyClean® feature takes advantage of LG’s new enamel to help lift soils without harsh chemicals, and it runs using ONLY WATER for just 10 minutes in low temperatures to help loosen LIGHT soils before handcleaning.

For Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413

While EasyClean® is quick and effective for small and LIGHT soils, the Self Clean feature can be used to remove HEAVY, built up soils. The intensity and high heat of the Self Clean cycle may result in smoke which will require the opening up of windows to provide ventilation. Compared to the more intense Self Clean process, your LG oven gives you the option of cleaning with LESS HEAT, LESS TIME, and virtually NO SMOKE OR FUMES.

When needed, the range still provides the Self Clean option for longer, more thorough oven cleaning for heavier, built up soils.

Benefits of EasyClean®

• Helps loosen light soils before hand-cleaning
• EasyClean® only uses water; no chemical cleaners
• Makes for a better self-clean experience (For Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413)
  • Delays the need for a self-clean cycle
  • Minimizes smoke and odors
  • Can allow shorter self-clean time.

When to Use EasyClean®

* The Self Clean cycle can be used for soil that has been built up over time.

Cleaning Tips

• Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the EasyClean® cycle. If your oven cavity is above 150 °F (65 °C), Hot will appear in the display, and the EasyClean® cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.
• A plastic spatula can be used as a scraper to scrape off any chunks or debris before and during oven cleaning.
• Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring pad may help to take off burnt-on stains better than a soft sponge or towel.
• Certain non-scratch scrubbing sponges, such as those made of melamine foam, available at your local stores, can also help improve cleaning.
• The range should be level to ensure that the bottom surface of the oven cavity is entirely covered by water at the beginning of the EasyClean® cycle.
• For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
• Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more difficult to remove with the EasyClean® cycle.
• Do not open the oven door during the EasyClean® cycle. Water will not get hot enough if the door is opened during the cycle.
• For hard to reach areas such as the back surface of the lower oven, it is better to use the Self Clean cycle. (For Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413)

EasyClean® Instruction Guide

1 Remove oven racks and accessories from the oven.

2 Scrape off and remove any burnt-on debris with a plastic scraper.

Suggested plastic scrapers:

• Hard plastic spatula
• Plastic pan scraper
• Plastic paint scraper
• Old credit card

3 Fill a spray bottle with 1¼ cups (10 oz or 300 ml) of water and use the spray bottle to thoroughly spray the inside surfaces of the oven.

4 Use at least ¼ cup (2 oz or 60 ml) of the water to completely saturate the soil on both the walls and in the corners of the oven

5 Spray or pour the remaining 1 cup (8 oz or 250 ml) of water onto the bottom center of the oven cavity. The indentation on the oven bottom should be fully covered to submerge all soils. Add water if necessary.

NOTE Use the "mist" setting on the spray bottle for better coverage. The entire 1¼ cup (10 oz or 300 ml) of water should be used for each oven cavity cleaned. Do not spray water directly on the door. Doing so will result in water dripping to the floor

6 Close the oven door. Touch EasyClean®. Touch Start.

CAUTION

• Some surfaces may be hot after the EasyClean® cycle. Wear rubber gloves while cleaning to prevent burns.
• During the EasyClean® cycle, the oven becomes hot enough to cause burns. Wait until the cycle is over before wiping the inside surface of the oven. Failure to do so may result in burns.
• Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning the oven cavity

7 A tone will sound at the end of the 10 minute cycle. Touch Clear/Off to clear the display and end the tone.

8 After the cleaning cycle and during handcleaning, enough water should remain on the oven bottom to completely submerge all soils. Add water if necessary. Place a towel on the floor in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill out during hand-cleaning. If you are cleaning the upper oven on a double oven range, it is also best to cover the holes in the top of the lower oven door with a towel to capture any water that may drip into the door during hand cleaning.

9 Clean the oven cavity immediately after the EasyClean® cycle by scrubbing with a wet, non-scratch scouring sponge or pad. (The scouring side will not scratch the finish.) Some water may spill into the bottom vents while cleaning, but it will be captured in a pan under the oven cavity and will not hurt the burner.

NOTE Do not use any steel scouring pads, abrasive pads or cleaners as these materials can permanently damage the oven surface.

10 Once the oven cavity is cleaned, wipe any excess water with a clean dry towel. Replace racks and any other accessories. '

11 If some light soils remain, repeat the above steps, making sure to thoroughly soak the soiled areas. If stubborn soils remain after multiple EasyClean® cycles, run the Self Clean cycle. Be sure that the oven cavity is empty of oven racks and other accessories, and that the oven cavity surface is dry before running the Self Clean cycle. Consult the Self Clean section of your owner’s manual for further details.

NOTE

• If you forget to saturate the inside of the oven with water before starting EasyClean®, touch Clear/Off to end the cycle. Wait for the range to cool to room temperature and then spray or pour water into the oven and start another EasyClean® cycle.
• The cavity gasket may be wet when the EasyClean® cycle finishes. This is normal. Do not clean the gasket. If mineral deposits remain on the oven bottom after cleaning, use a cloth or sponge soaked in vinegar to remove them.
• It is normal for the fan to operate during the EasyClean® cycle.

Self Clean

The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor. This is normal; especially if the oven is heavily soiled.

During Self Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning.

Before Starting Self Clean

• Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, aluminum foil or any other material from the oven.
• The kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning.
• Wipe any heavy spillovers on the bottom of the oven.
• Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.
• The oven light cannot be turned on during a Self Clean cycle. The oven light cannot be turned on until the oven temperature has cooled below 500 ˚F (260 ˚C) after a Self Clean cycle is complete

CAUTION

• Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance. During the Self Clean cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch.
• If you have pet birds, move them to another well-ventilated room. The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self Clean cycle of any range.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil or any other material. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
• Do not force the door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when opening the oven door after the Self Clean cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT

During the Self Clean cycle, the cooktop elements and warming drawer cannot be used.

NOTE

• Remove oven racks and accessories before starting the Self Clean cycle.
• If oven racks are left in the oven cavity during the Self Clean cycle, they will discolor and become difficult to slide in and out.
• Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot soapy water. Rinse well.
• Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
• Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.
• Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.
• It is normal for the fan to operate during the Self Clean cycle.
• The Burner On indicator light turns on when the knob is turned even if the cooktop element does not operate.

Setting Self Clean

The Self Clean function has cycle times of 3, 4, or 5 hours.

TROUBLESHOOTING

FAQs

What types of cookware are recommended for use with the cooktop?

• The pans must have a flat bottom and straight sides.
• Only use heavy-gauge pans.
• The pan size must match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.
• Use tight fitting lids.
• Only use flat-bottom woks.

Why do the heating elements appear to be turning ON and OFF during use of the cooktop or oven?

Depending on your cooktop element setting or the temperature selected in your oven, it is NORMAL for the cooking elements to cycle on and off.

My new oven doesn’t cook like my old one. Is there something wrong with the temperature settings?

No, your oven has been factory tested and calibrated. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the oven temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking needs. Refer to the Oven Temperature Adjustment section in this manual for easy instructions on how to adjust your thermostat.

Is it normal to hear a clicking noise coming from the back of my oven when I am using it?

Your new range is designed to maintain a tighter control over your oven’s temperature. You may hear your oven’s heating elements click on and off more frequently on your new oven. This is NORMAL.

Why is the time flashing?

This means that the product has just been plugged in, or that it has experienced a power interruption. To clear the flashing time, touch any button and reset the clock if needed.

During convection cooking the fan stops when I open the door. Is that normal?

Yes, this is normal. When the door is opened, the convection fan will stop until the door is closed.

Can I use aluminum foil to catch drippings in my oven cavity?

Never use aluminum foil to line the bottom or sides fo the oven or the warming drawer. The foil will melt and stick to the bottom surface of the oven and will not be removable. Use a sheet pan placed on a lower oven rack to catch drippings instead. (If foil has already melted onto the bottom of the oven, it will not interfere with the oven's performance.)

Can I use aluminum foil on the racks?

Do not cover racks with aluminum foil. Covering entire racks with foil restricts air flow, leading to poor cooking results. Use a sheet pan lined with foil under fruit pies or other acidic or sugary foods to prevent spillovers from damaging the oven finish

CAUTION Foil may be used to wrap food in the oven or warming drawer, but do not allow the foil to come into contact with the exposed heating/broiling elements in the oven. The foil could melt or ignite, causing smoke, fire, or injury

Can I leave my racks in the oven when running a Self Clean cycle?

No. Although it will not damage the racks, it will discolor them and may make them hard to slide in and out during use. Remove all items from the oven before starting a Self Clean cycle.

What should I do if my racks are sticky and have become hard to slide in and out?

Over time, the racks may become hard to slide in and out. Apply a small amount of olive oil to the ends of the racks. This will work as a lubricant for easier gliding.

What should I do for hard to remove stains on my cooktop?

The cooktop should be cleaned after every use to prevent permanent staining. When cooking foods with high sugar content, such as tomato sauce, clean the stain off with a scraper while the cooktop is still warm. Use an oven mitt when scraping to prevent burns. Refer to the MAINTENANCE section of this owner's manual for further instruction.

Why aren't the function buttons working?

Make sure that the range is not in Lockout mode. The locK will show in the display if Lockout is activated. To deactivate Lockout, touch and hold Lower Clear/ Off for three seconds. The unlock melody sounds and Loc appears in the display until the controls are unlocked.

My range is still dirty after running the EasyClean® cycle. What else should I do?

The EasyClean® cycle only helps to loosen light soils in your oven range to assist in hand-cleaning of your oven. It does not automatically remove all soils after the cycle. Some scrubbing of your oven range is required after running the EasyClean® cycle.

I tried scrubbing my oven after running EasyClean®, but some soils still remain. What can I do?

The EasyClean® feature works best when the soils are fully soaked and submerged in water before running the cycle and during hand-cleaning. If soils are not sufficiently soaked in water, it can negatively affect the cleaning performance. Repeat the EasyClean® process using sufficient water.

Sugar-based and certain greasy soils are especially hard to clean. If some stubborn soils remain, use the Self Clean feature to thoroughly clean your oven.

Soils on my oven walls are not coming off. How can I get my walls clean?

Soils on the side and rear walls of your oven range may be more difficult to fully soak with water. Try repeating the EasyClean® process with more than the ¼ cup (2 oz or 60 ml) spray recommended.

Will EasyClean® get all of the soils and stains out completely?

It depends on the soil type. Sugar-based and certain grease stains are especially hard to clean. Also, if stains are not sufficiently soaked in water, this can negatively affect cleaning performance.

If stubborn or built-up stains remain, use the Self Clean feature. Refer to the Self Clean section of your owner's manual.

Are there any tricks to getting some of the stubborn soils out?

Scraping the soils with a plastic scraper before and during hand-cleaning is recommended. Fully saturating soils with water is also recommended.

However, certain types of soils are harder to clean than others. For these stubborn soils, the Self Clean cycle is recommended. Consult the Self Clean section of your owner's manual for details.

Is it safe for my convection fan, broil burner or heater element to get wet during EasyClean®?

Yes. The convection fan, broiler burner or heater element may get a little wet during cleaning. However, direct spray onto the broil burner and heater elements is not necessary because these are self-cleaning during regular use.

Do I need to use all 1¼ cups (10 oz or 300 ml) of water for EasyClean®?

Yes. It is highly recommended that 1 cup (8 oz or 250 ml) of water be sprayed or poured on the bottom and an additional ¼ cup (2 oz or 60 ml) of water be sprayed on walls and other soiled areas to fully saturate the soils for better cleaning performance.

I see smoke coming out of my oven range’s cooktop vents during EasyClean®. Is this normal?

This is normal. This is not smoke. It is actually water vapor (steam) from the water in the oven cavity. As the oven heats briefly during EasyClean®, the water in the cavity evaporates and escapes through the oven vents.

How often should I use EasyClean®?

EasyClean® can be performed as often as you wish. EasyClean® works best when your oven is LIGHTLY soiled from such things as LIGHT grease splatter and small drops of cheese. Please refer to the EasyClean® section in your owner's manual for more information.

What is required for EasyClean®?

A spray bottle filled with 1¼ cups (10 oz or 300 ml) of water, a plastic scraper, a non-scratch scrubbing pad and a towel. You should not use abrasive scrubbers such as heavy-duty scouring pads or steel wool. Except for a towel, all of the materials you need are included in a special cleaning kit with your new range.

Can I run the EasyClean® cycle on both of my ovens at once?

Yes. You can run the EasyClean® cycle on both ovens at the same time. Some oven surfaces will be hot after the cycle completes running. Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning the oven cavities. You can not run the Self Clean cycle on both ovens at the same time
