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

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

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 content.

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.

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. Press Bake.
2. Set the oven temperature: press 3, 7 and 5.
3. Press 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, turn the oven mode knob to the OFF position.
5. Remove food from the oven.

NOTE

• It is normal for the convection fan to operate periodically throughout a normal bake cycle in the 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.
• 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. Press Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast. The display flashes 350 °F.
2. Set the oven temperature: press 3, 7 and 5.
3. Press START. The display shows Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast and the oven temperature starting at 100 °F. As the oven preheats, the display shows increasing temperatures in 5-degree increments. Once the oven reaches the set adjusted temperature, a tone sounds and the oven light flashes on and off. The display shows the auto converted oven temperature, 350 °F and the fan icon.
4. When cooking has finished or to cancel, turn the oven mode knob to the OFF position

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.

Setting the Oven to Broil

1 Oven door must always be closed during Broil mode.

2 Press Broil once for Hi or twice for Lo.

3 Press START. The oven begins to heat.

4 Let the oven preheat for approximately five minutes before cooking the food if using broil.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Glass-Ceramic Cooktop

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.

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.

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

EasyClean®

LG’s EasyClean® enamel technology provides two cleaning options for the inside of the lower oven. 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 hand cleaning.

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 oven 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
  • Delays the need for a self-clean cycle
  • Minimizes smoke and odors
  • Can allow shorter self-clean tim

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), OVEN IS 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 Oven must be level to ensure that the lower surface of the oven cavity is completely covered with 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 oven, it is better to use the Self Clean 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.

Setting Self Clean

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

Self Clean Soil Guide

• Lightly Soiled Oven Cavity 3-Hour Self Clean
• Moderately Soiled Oven Cavity 4-Hour Self Clean
• Heavily Soiled Oven Cavity 5-Hour Self Clean

1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven.
2. Touch Self Clean. The oven defaults to the recommended four-hour self clean for a moderately soiled oven. Touch twice for a five hour self clean or three times for a three-hour self clean.
3. Touch Start.
4. Once the self-clean cycle is set, the oven door locks automatically and the lock icon displays. You will not be able to open the oven door until the oven has cooled. The lock releases automatically when the oven has cooled.

CAUTION

Do not force the oven door open when the lock icon is displayed. The oven door remains locked until the oven temperature has cooled. Forcing the door open will damage the door.

Setting Self Clean with a Delayed Start

1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven.
2. Touch Self Clean. The oven defaults to the recommended four-hour self clean for a moderately soiled oven. Touch twice for a five-hour self clean or three times for a three-hour self clean.
3. Touch Start Time.
4. Use the number keys to enter the time of day you would like the Self Clean to start.
5. Touch Start.

During 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.
• As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage the oven.
• Do not force the oven door open when the lock is displayed. The oven door remains locked until the oven temperature has cooled. Forcing the door open will damage the door.
• Do not remove the steam feeder tank from the oven during the self-clean cycle. Doing so, could result in product damage.

After the Self Clean Cycle

• The oven door remains locked until the oven temperature has cooled.
• You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it off with a damp cloth or a soap-filled pad after the oven cools. If the oven is not clean after one selfclean cycle, repeat the cycle.
• If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a self-clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them glide more easily.
• Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not affect performance

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.

1. Place a small amount of stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or paper towel.
2. Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.
3. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth.
4. Repeat as necessary

Oven Door

• Use soapy water to thoroughly clean the oven door. Rinse well. Do not immerse the door in water.
• You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do not spray water or glass cleaner on the door vents.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material that is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.

Broiler Pan and Grid

• Do not store a soiled broiler pan or grid anywhere in the oven.
• Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self cleaning mode.
• Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease from the pan into a proper container
• Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.
• If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with cleaner while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.
• Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner or in the dishwasher.

Oven Racks

Remove the oven racks before operating the self clean cycle.

TROUBLESHOOTING

FAQs

Can I use a rack in my upper oven to reheat or cook on two levels at once?

Only use the rack that is supplied with your upper oven. Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may damage your oven.

Will the upper oven be damaged if it operates empty?

Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass tray.

Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?

No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.

Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?

This light is from the upper oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.

What are the various sounds I hear when the upper oven is operating?

The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave oven's magnetron ON and OFF.

The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.

Can my upper oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long?

Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire, and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven while you are cooking.

Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?

Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.

Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?

As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature.

Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my upper oven?

Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray is ¾ inch deep and filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.

Sometimes the door of my upper oven appears wavy. Is this normal?

This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.

The glass tray does not move.

The glass tray is not correctly in place. It should be correct-side up and sitting firmly on the center hub. The support is not operating correctly. Remove the glass tray and restart the oven. Cooking without the glass tray can give you poor results.

Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen.

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.

What does standing time mean?

Standing time means that food should be taken out of the oven and covered for additional time after cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish, saves energy, and frees the oven for other purposes.

Can I pop popcorn in my upper oven? How do I get the best results?

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn key.

Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening test by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The upper oven has been designed to vent steam out of the top vent.

The Lower 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 the lower oven when I am using it?

Your new oven 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 the lower oven cavity?

Never use aluminum foil to line the bottom or sides of the oven. 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.

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.

Why aren't the function buttons working?

Make sure that the oven 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 oven 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 to assist in hand-cleaning of your oven. It does not automatically remove all soils after the cycle. Some scrubbing of your oven 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.

Soil on the oven walls is not coming off. How can I clean the oven walls?

Soils on the side and rear walls of your oven 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).

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.

I see smoke coming out of my oven's 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 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 oven.
