OWNER’S MANUAL GAS RANGE

Burner Locations
Your gas range cooktop has four or five sealed gas burners, depending on the model. These can be assembled and separated. Follow the guide below.

1. Medium and Large Burners - The medium and large burners are the primary burners for most cooking. These general purpose burners can be turned down from Hi to Lo to suit a wide range of cooking needs.
2. Small Burner - The smallest burner is used for delicate foods such as sauces or foods that require low heat for a long cooking time.
3. Extra Large Burner - The extra large burner is the maximum output burner. Like the other four burners, it can be turned down from Hi to Lo for a wide range of cooking applications. This burner is also designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil. It can be used with cookware 10 inches or larger in diameter.
4. Oval Burner - The center, oval burner is for use with a griddle or oval pots.
Using the Gas Surface Burners
1. Be sure that all of the surface burners and grates are placed in the correct positions.
2. Place cookware on the grate.
3. Push the control knob and turn to the LITE position.

The electric spark ignition system makes a clicking noise. Once the burner is lit, turn the knob counterclockwise to the HI position to stop hearing the clicking noise.
4. Turn the control knob to control the flame size.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. All the burners spark when any burner is turned to Lite. An electric shock may result causing you to knock over hot cookware.
Setting the Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. Match the flame size on a gas burner to the cookware being used for fastest heating.

CAUTION: Never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.
NOTE
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on the range with a match. Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when lighting burners with a match. It can cause burns and other damage.
Range-Top Cookware
| Aluminum | Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water. |
| Cast-Iron | If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results. |
| Stainless Steel | This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends. |
| Enamelware | Under some conditions, the enamel of this cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods. |
| Glass | There are two types of glass cookware. Those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking. |
| Heatproof Glass Ceramic | Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges. |
Using a Wok
If using a wok, use a 14-inch or smaller flat-bottomed wok. Make sure that the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.

CAUTION: Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
Using Stove-Top Grills
Do not place stove-top grills on the burner.

CAUTION: Do not use stove top grills on the surface burners. Using a stove top grill on the surface burner will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be a health hazard.
Using the Griddle

The non-stick coated griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats, pancakes or other food usually prepared in a frying pan or skillet.
NOTE: It is normal for the griddle to become discolored over time.
How to Place the Griddle: The griddle can only be used with the center burner. The griddle must be properly placed on the center grate, as shown below.

CAUTION
Preheat the griddle according to the guide below and adjust for the desired setting.

NOTE: After cooking on the griddle for an extended period, adjust the griddle temperature settings as the griddle retains heat.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Before Use
Read all instructions before using.
Make sure the electrical power cord and the gas valve are properly connected. Confirm the correct use of the range for the type of food you will cook.
Make sure you know how to use the oven (temperature setting, time setting and recipe) for best results.
In case of power failure, do not use the oven. The oven and broiler cannot be used during a power outage. If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be relit until power is restored. Once power is restored, you will need to reset the oven (or Broil function).

Do not block, touch or place items around the oven vent during cooking.
Your oven is vented through ducts at the center above the burner grate. Do not block the oven vent when cooking to allow for proper air flow. Do not touch vent openings or nearby surfaces during any cooking operation.

Do not cover the cooktop surface with aluminum foil. Blocking the oven vent can damage the control panel.

Do not cover racks or oven bottom with aluminum foil.

You may see condensation on the oven door glass.
As the oven heats up, the heated air in the oven may cause condensation to appear on the oven door glass. These water drops are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.


Flashing Time
If your oven displays a flashing clock, press Clock or press any key to stop the flashing.

Setting the Hour Mode
The control is set to use a 12-hour clock. To reset the clock to 24-hour mode, follow the steps below.
Adjusting the Oven Thermostat
This oven may cook differently from the one it replaced. Use the oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it before changing the temperature settings. After becoming more familiar with the oven, if you notice a pattern of over- or underheating, follow these steps to adjust the thermostat.
NOTE: To begin, either raise or lower the thermostat 15 °F (8 °C). Try the oven with the new setting. If the oven still needs adjustment, raise or lower the thermostat again, using the first adjustment as a gauge. For example, if the adjustment was too much, raise or lower the thermostat 10 °F (5 °C). If the adjustment was not enough, raise or lower the thermostat 20 °F (12 °C). Proceed in this way until the oven is adjusted to your satisfaction.
NOTE
Turning the Preheat Alarm Light On/Off
When the oven reaches its set temperature, the preheating alarm light flashes 5 times or until the oven door is opened. You can activate or deactivate the preheating alarm light.

Recommended Baking and Roasting Guide


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).
Changing the Temperature while Cooking
NOTE: If the door is opened during baking, the bake burner turns off after 30 seconds. The burner turns back on automatically once the door is closed.
Broil
The oven is designed for closed-door broiling. Broil uses the intense radiant heat from the upper gas burner. The Broil function works best when broiling thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry or fish.
When broiling refer to the broiling guide for placing the rack.

Setting the Oven to Broil
NOTE: During any Broil function, it is normal for the broiler to cycle on and off. The igniter for the broil burner on the ceiling of the oven glows orange periodically during normal broil operation.
Sabbath Mode
Sabbath mode is typically used on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays. When the SABBATH mode is activated, the oven does not turn off until the SABBATH mode is deactivated. In SABBATH mode, all function buttons, except for the CLEAR/OFF are inactive. Sb will appear in both the cooktop and oven displays.
NOTE: If the oven light is turned ON and the SABBATH mode is active, the oven light will turn OFF. If the oven light needs to be OFF, be sure to turn the oven light OFF before activating the SABBATH mode. SABBATH mode can only be used in Bake mode.
Setting the Sabbath mode
will appear in the display when the Sabbath mode is activated.Changing the temperature while in Sabbath mode
NOTE: There is a 15 second delay before the oven will recognize the temperature change.
Remote Start
Remotely starts or stops the preheating function of the appliance. The appliance must be connected to a home Wi-Fi network to use Remote Start.
Setting Remote Start
Warm / Keep 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. The Warm function may be used without any other cooking operations.
Setting the Warm Function
Removing and Replacing the Gas Surface Burners
Grates and burner heads/caps can be removed for care and cleaning

CAUTION: To avoid burns, do not clean the cooktop surface until it has cooled. Do not lift the cooktop surface. Lifting the cooktop surface can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.
Foods with high acid or sugar content may cause a dull spot if allowed to set. Wash and rinse soon after the surface has cooled. For other spills such as oil/ grease spattering, etc., wash with soap and water when the surface has cooled, then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
Cleaning Burner Heads/Caps
For even and unhampered flame, the slits in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times.The burner heads and caps (and the oval burner head and cap assembly) can be lifted off. Do not attempt to remove the oval burner middle cap.
After Cleaning the Burner Heads/ Caps
Shake out any excess water and then let them dry thoroughly. Placing the oval burner upside down will allow the water to drain out more easily. Replace the burner heads and caps over the electrodes on the cooktop in the correct locations according to their size. Make sure the hole in the burner head is positioned over the electrode.
The range consists of three separate professionalstyle grates. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used when in their proper position. The two side grates can be interchanged from left to right and front to back. The center grate can be interchanged from front to back.

NOTE: Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Cleaning the Burner Grates
CAUTION: Do not lift the grates out until they have cooled.
CAUTION
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.

CAUTION:
NOTE: Do not block the vents and air openings of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
To prevent activating the control panel during cleaning, unplug the range. Clean up splatters with a damp cloth using a glass cleaner. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind.
CAUTION: Do not use the cooktop at high temperatures for an excessive period as the control panel could be damaged.
NOTE: When spraying on the glass surface, intermittent touch operation is possible.
It is best to clean the manifold panel after each use of the range. For cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soapy water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
CAUTION
NOTE: To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials.
Painted and Decorative Trim
For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot soapy water. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave it on for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
To avoid scratches, do not use steel wool pads.
Oven Door
CAUTION: Do not use harsh cleaners or harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. Doing so can cause damage.

Most oven doors contain glass that can break.
CAUTION
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.
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,
When to Use EasyClean®

* The Self Clean cycle can be used for soil that has been built up over time.
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:
3. Fill a spray bottle with water (10 oz or 300 ml) and use the spray bottle to thoroughly spray the inside surfaces of the oven.
4. Use at least 1/5 (2 oz or 60 ml) of the water in the bottle to completely saturate the soil on both the walls and in the corners of the oven.

5. Spray or pour the remaining water (8 oz or 250 ml) 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: If cleaning multiple ovens, use an entire bottle of water to clean each oven. Do not spray water directly on the door. Doing so will result in water (10 oz or 300 ml) dripping to the floor.
6. Close the oven door. Press EasyClean®. Press Start.
CAUTION
7. A tone will sound at the end of the 10 minutes cycle. Press Clear/Off to clear the display and end the tone.
8. After the cleaning cycle and during hand-cleaning, 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.
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.
NOTE
Cleaning Tips
NOTE: It may become necessary to cancel or interrupt a Self Clean cycle due to excessive smoke or fire in the oven. To cancel the Self Clean function, press the CLEAR/OFF button.
The oven light is a standard 40-watt appliance bulb. It turns on when the oven door is open. When the oven door is closed, press Light or knock twice on the oven door glass to turn it on or off.

Removing the Door
1. Fully open the door.
2. Unlock the hinge locks, rotating them as far toward the open door frame as they will go.

3. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.
4. Close the door to the removal position (approximately five degrees) which is halfway between the broil stop position and fully closed. If the position is correct, the hinge arms will move freely.

5. Lift door up and out until the hinge arms are clear of the slots.
Replacing the Door
1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.
2. With the door at the same angle as the removal position, seat the indentation of the hinge arms into the bottom edge of the hinge slots. The notch in the hinge arms must be fully seated into the bottom edge of the slots.

3. Open the door fully. If the door will not open fully, the indentation is not seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slots.
4. Lock the hinge locks, rotating them back toward the slots in the oven frame until they lock.

5. Close the oven door.
What types of cookware are recommended for use with the cooktop?
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, press any button and reset the clock if needed
Can I use aluminum foil to catch drippings in my oven cavity?
Never use aluminum foil to line the bottom or sides of 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
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. LOCKED will show in the display if Lockout is activated. To deactivate Lockout, press and hold Clear/Off for three seconds.
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.
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 1/5 of spray bottle 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.
Do I need to use the full contents of the spray bottle for EasyClean®?
Yes. It is highly recommended that 4/5 of the water be sprayed or poured on the bottom and an additional 1/5 of the 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 water, a scraper, a nonscratch scrubbing pad and a towel. You should not use abrasive scrubbers such as heavy-duty scouring pads or steel wool.
Is it safe for water to spill into the oven bottom vents during cleang?
Some water spillage into the oven bottom vents (gas range) is okay. However, it is recommended to try avoid spilling too much water into the vents.
