SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. Wash
hands after handling.
, DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in color, interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces, such as oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors, also get hot and may cause burns if not cooled.
,, Use care when opening door. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to
hands, face and eyes. Let hot air or steam escape from the oven before removing or replacing food in the oven.
,, Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.
,, Do not use harsh etching, abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the surface. Scratches may cause the glass to shatter.
_ WARNING
if the door glass, cooktop glass, surface, or oven heating unit of the range are damaged, |
discontinue use of the range and call for service.
Do not operate the oven without the charcoal heater mesh. ,, Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven-safe lids only.
,, Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They
could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
,, Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil
or any other material. Doing so will disrupt 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)
,, Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven. ,, Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
,, Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the oven or the surface
element. Cookware will be hot. Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth to remove food.

,, Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan
with too much fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CHILD SAFETY
o Do not touch the hot surface between the bottom of the oven door and the top of the
drawer on the front of the oven while the oven is in operation. The surface becomes hot and can cause burns and other injury.
Do not leave small children unattended near the oven.
--_ WARNING
still hot. Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as
Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is
they could be injured or burned.
-----if_,CAUTION
o not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard
a range - children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Never let a child hang on the oven door. Do not allow children to crawl into the oven.
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.
GLASS-CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. This includes the cooktop and the area above the oven door.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop is broken, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately. Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.
Choose proper burner size. For smaller pots and pans, use the smaller heating elements. For larger pots and pans, use the larger heating elements. Select pans that
have flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating elements. Using undersized pans exposes a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in clothing
burning. Glazed cookware. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware. Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
Turn cookware handles inward so they don't extend over adjacent surface units. This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the cookware. Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
Some cleaners can produce dangerous fumes if applied to a hot surface.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7
,, Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on. Never leave
surface units unattended at high heat settings. Proper contact of cookware to burner also will improve efficiency. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spills that may catch on
fire.
,, Clean cooktop with caution. Do not use sponges or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area. Use a proper metal scraper. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, it can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
,, Do not turn surface units on before placing cookware. ,, Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface that could fall and damage it.
,, Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders, or plastic wrappings or any other material on the range when it is in use.
,, Do not use a steel-wool pad or scrub pad or abrasive cleaning pads. They can scratch the
surface.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
,, Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy. Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the
same cooking temperature together in one oven.
,, For optimal performance and energy savings, follow the guides on page 29 for proper rack
and pan placements.
,, Match the size of the cookware to the amount of food being cooked to save energy when
heating. Heating ½ quart of water requires more energy in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart pot.
,, Use cookware with flat bottoms to provide the best contact with the cooktop surface when
cooking on the glass-ceramic cooktop.
,, Match the size of the cooktop burner or element to the size of the cookware in use. Using
a large element for a small pan wastes heating energy, and the exposed surface of the element is a burn or fire hazard.
,, Reduce energy use by cleaning light oven soils with the EasyClean ® feature instead of
self-clean.
,, Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary during use. This helps the oven
maintain temperature, prevents unnecessary heat loss, and saves on energy use.
SAFETY DURING USE
,, Do not touch the oven racks while they are hot. ,, If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holder contact the hot
heating element in the oven.
,, Use caution with the Timed Cook or Delayed Timed Cook features. Use the automatic
timer when cooking cured or frozen meats and most fruits and vegetables. Foods that can easily spoil, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator
first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when cooking is complete. Eating
spoiled food can result in sickness from food poisoning.
,, Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. ,, Do not place food or cookware on the bottom of the oven cavity. Doing so will cause
permanent damage to the oven bottom finish.
,, Do not use water on grease fires. Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed
and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can
spread a grease fire and cause personal injury.
8 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
,, Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the
oven. This helps prevent burns caused by touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.
,, Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows
other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating
element replaced by a qualified service technician.
,, When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions.
SAFETY WHEN CLEANING
,, Open a window or turn on a ventilation fan or hood before self-cleaning. ,, If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self-clean the oven before using the oven again. The
oil could cause a fire.
,, Wipe up heavy soil on the bottom of the oven before using the Self Clean function. ,, Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of
any kind should not be used in or around any part of the oven.
,, Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. The health of birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes
released during an oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds. Move birds to a well-ventilated room.
,, Clean in the self-clean cycle only parts listed in this manual. Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan, all oven racks, the meat probe and any utensils or food from the oven.
,, Important Instruction. The oven displays an F error code and sounds three long beeps
during the self-cleaning process if it malfunctions in the self-clean mode. Switch off the electrical power to the main fuse or breaker and have the oven serviced by a qualified
technician.
,, It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle.
Therefore, touching the cooktop during a self-clean cycle should be avoided.
,, Never pour cold water over a hot oven for cleaning. Doing so may cause the oven to
malfunction.
,, Make sure oven lights are cool before cleaning. ,, Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
,, If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go
out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe
burns.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY
,, To protect against food-borne illnesses, cook meat and poultry thoroughly. The USDA has
indicated the following as safe minimum internal temperatures for consumption: ,, Ground beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 160 °F ,, Poultry: 165 °F
,, Beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 145 °F ,, Fish/seafood: 145 °F

Engaging the Anti-tip Device
Move the range close enough to the opening to plug into the receptacle.
Slide the range into position ensuring that the back leg slides under the anti-tip bracket. The range
should sit flush against the back wall when properly installed.
Carefully attempt to tip the range forward to ensure that the anti-tip bracket is engaged properly. If properly installed, the anti-tip bracket will prevent
the range from being tipped. Ifthe range can be tipped, reinstall the range until the anti-tip bracket is properly installed and the range wilt not tip forward.
Turn on electrical power. Check the range for proper operation.
Test Run
Check if the range is properly installed and run a test cycle.
1 Touch Clear/Off to start test.
Turn each knob to the Hi position to check

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 welt balanced
Tight-fitting lids Flat bottom woks
Cookware should not
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 wilt 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.
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.
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.
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.

OPERATION 27
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 content.
Replacing Racks
1 Place the end of the rack on the support.
Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.
2
\ 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.
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.
Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.
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 CleadOff.
5 Remove food from the oven.
is normal for the convection fan to operate
eriodically throughout a normal bake cycle in the
wer oven. This is to ensure even baking results.
28 OPERATION
Baking Tips ,, Baking time and temperature wilt 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 wilt slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
F....NOTE
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spitlovers 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.
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.
Setting the Convection Function (example, 375 °F)
1 Touch Cony. Bake or Cony. Roast. The display
flashes 350 °F.
2 Set the oven temperature: touch 3, 7 and 5.
3 Touch Start. The display shows Cony. 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.

30 OPERATION
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 wilt 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.
Ifthe 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
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 d 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.
Always use a broiler pan. Do not use saute pans
1
or regular baking sheets for safety reasons. The broiler pan should always be thoroughly
2
cleaned and at room temperature at the beginning of cooking.
Always run your cooktop ventilation system or
3
vent hood during broiling. Keep the interior of your oven as clean as
4
possible. Leftover debris from prior meals can burn or catch fire.
Avoid fatty marinades and sugary glazes. Both
5
of these wilt increase the amount of smoke you experience. If you would like to use a glaze, apply it at the very end of cooking.
If you are experiencing significant smoke with
6
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.
As a rule, fattier cuts of meat and fish will
7
produce more smoke than leaner items.
Adhere to the recommended broil settings and
8
cooking guidelines in the chart on the following page whenever possible.
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.
