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.

  • be a wok with a ring stand.

  • have loose or broken handles.
  • have loose-fitting lids.

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

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

  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 clean 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 sugar or food containing sugar spills, or plastic or foil melts on the cooktop, remove the material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper while the cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of damage to the glass-ceramic surface. When used correctly, the scraper will not damage the cooktop surface. For your safety, please use an oven mitt or pot holder while scraping the hot cooking surface.
  • If water or food containing water spills on the cooktop, remove the spill IMMEDIATELY with a dry paper towel.

NOTE: ANY DAMAGE OR FAILURE OF THE PRODUCT RESULTING FROM 1 OR 2 BELOW MAY NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE LIMITED WARRANTY.

  1. Sugary spillovers (such as preserves, ketchup, tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, or chocolate) or melted plastics can cause pitting on the surface of your cooktop.
  2. If food or water containing calcium (such as baking powder, wine, milk, spinach, or broccoli) is spilled on the cooktop, it can permanently stain or discolor the surface.

Burned-On Residue

1 While the cooktop is still warm, remove any burnt on deposits or spilled food from the glassceramic cooking surface with a suitable metal razor scraper. To prevent burns, wear an oven mitt or pot holder while using the metal scraper.

Metal Marks and Scratches

ANY DAMAGE OR FAILURE OF THE PRODUCT RESULTING FROM 1 OR 2 BELOW MAY NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE LIMITED WARRANTY.

  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. Scratches from sliding cookware are permanent and are not covered by the warranty.
  2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave a black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent. This damage is not covered by the warranty

CAUTION: Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

  • Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.
  • Do not use cookware with any dirt build-up on the bottom.
  • Do not use cookware if there are foreign matters on the cooktop surface. Always clean the cooktop surface before cooking.

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

NOTE: Some models don't include a self-clean option. The EasyClean® feature may not be effective in removing heavy, built-up soils. If the range does not include a self-clean option, clean the oven regularly using the EasyClean® feature to prevent heavy, burnt-on soil from building up in the oven.

When to Use EasyClean®

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

On models without the self-clean option, clean the oven frequently using EasyClean® to avoid the build up of tough, burnt-on soil.

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 scraper can be used to scrape off any chunks or debris before and during oven cleaning.
  • Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring pad or scrubbing sponge 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 it is better to use the Self Clean cycle.

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
  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. 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.
  2. Close the oven door. Press EasyClean®. Press 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.
  3. A tone will sound at the end of the 10 minute cycle. Press Clear/Off to clear the display and end the tone.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.) . NOTE Do not use any steel scouring pads, abrasive pads or cleaners as these materials can permanently damage the oven surface.
  6. Once the oven cavity is cleaned, wipe any excess water with a clean dry towel. Replace racks and any other accessories.
  7. 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. If a self-clean option is not available, scrape off and remove stubborn soil using a scraper.

NOTE

  • If you forget to saturate the inside of the oven with water before starting EasyClean®, press Clear/ Off to end the cycle. Wait for the range to cool to room temperature and then spray or pour water (10 oz or 300 ml) 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 (Model LREL6325* / LREL6323*)

  • 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 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.
  • If the cooktop is used during Self Clean operation, a buzzer will sound for 1 minute and then Self Clean will turn off.
  • If the cooktop is in use when a Self Clean is activated, a buzzer will sound and Self Clean will not start.

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

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.

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 steel wool pad after the oven cools. If the oven is not clean after one self-clean 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.

NOTE

  • The Self Clean cycle cannot be started if the Lockout feature is active.
  • Once the Self Clean cycle is set, the oven door locks automatically. You will not be able to open the oven door until the oven is cooled. The lock releases automatically.
  • Once the door has been locked, the lock indicator light stops flashing and remains on. Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to activate.
  • If the clock is set for a 12-hour display (default) the Delayed Self Clean can never be set to start more than 12 hours in advance.

Cleaning the Exterior

Painted and Decorative Trim

  • For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot soapy water. For more difficult soil 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.
  • NOTE: When spraying on the glass surface, intermittent touch operation is possible.

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

NOTE: To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials.

NOTE

  • Do not use a steel wool pad. it will scratch the surface.
  • To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish.
  • Always wipe in the direction of the metal surface finish.
  • Stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish can be purchased online or from most retailers of appliances or home goods.

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

CAUTION: Do not use harsh cleaners or harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. Doing so can cause damage.

Cleaning the Knobs

  • For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot soapy water. For more difficult soil and built-up grease, wipe gently with a brush such as a toothbrush.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Broiler Pan and Grid

  • Do not store a soiled broiler pan or grid anywhere in the range.
  • 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.

  1. Food spilled into the tracks could cause the racks to become stuck. Clean racks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
  2. Rinse with clean water and dry

NOTE: If the racks are cleaned using the self clean cycle (not recommended), the color will turn slightly blue and the finish will become dull. After the self clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of vegetable oil. This will make the racks glide more easily into the rack tracks.

Door Care Instructions

Most oven doors contain glass that can break.

CAUTION

  • Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.
  • Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
  • Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.

Removing and Replacing the Lift-Off Oven Doors and Drawer

CAUTION

  • Be careful when removing and lifting the door.
  • Do not lift the door by the handle. The door is very heavy.

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 does “COOKTOP HOT” appear on the cooktop display?

COOKTOP HOT will appear in the display once the element is turned off or during the self clean cycle. The COOKTOP HOT indicator will stay on until the surface has cooled to approximately 150°F (66°C) or when the self clean cycle ends.

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, press 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 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

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, press and hold Clear/Off for three seconds. The unlock melody sounds and Loc appears in the display until the controls are unlocked.

How can I help keep children safe around the range?

Children should be supervised around the range whenever it is in use, and after use until surfaces have cooled. You can also use the Lockout feature to help prevent children from accidentally turning on the cooktop or oven. The Lockout feature disables most control panel buttons and the cooktop control knobs. On some models, it also locks the oven door.

Consult the Lockout section of your owner’s manual for details. (In models without a self-clean option, the Lockout feature locks the controls but does not lock the oven door.)

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. If a self-clean feature is not available, use a scraper to remove stubborn soil.

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 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.

Some models do not include a self-clean option. The EasyClean® feature may not be effective in removing heavy, built up soil. If a self-clean option is not available, it may help to use EasyClean® more often to avoid heavy soil build up.

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. If using a metal scraper, be careful not to damage the oven surface. Fully saturating soils with water is also recommended. Certain types of soil are harder to clean than others. For these stubborn soils, use the Self Clean cycle. Consult the Self Clean section of the 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 the full contents of the spray bottle for EasyClean®?

Yes. It is highly recommended that 4/5 of water be sprayed or poured on the bottom and an additional 1/5 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. However, if a self-clean option is not available on your oven, you may want to use the EasyClean® option often to prevent heavy, burnt-on soil from building up. 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.
