IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. 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.

•Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure in the containers may cause them to
burst which may result in injury.

•To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

FLAMMABLE MATERIALS

WARNING

Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating.
Keep plastic, clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the
appliance that may become hot.

•Do not store or use flammable material in the oven or near or on the cooktop. Flammable
materials include paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, and gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids such as grease or cooking oil. These materials can
be ignited when the oven and cooktop are in use.

•Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging garments, which may ignite if
they contact hot surfaces, and cause severe burns.

•Do not use the oven for drying clothes. Only use the oven for its intended purpose.

•If a cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, place items that are not
frequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may
be unsafe for volatile items such as flammable liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

CAUTION

Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating.
Keep plastic, clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the
appliance that may become hot.

ENGLISH

•Always disconnect power from the appliance before servicing.

•Do not use aluminum foil or any other material to line the oven bottom.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

•Do not allow aluminum foil or the temperature probe to contact heating elements.

WARNING

Before replacing the oven light bulb, switch off the electrical power to the oven at the
main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so can result in severe personal injury,
death, or electrical shock.

DEEP FAT FRYER

•Use extreme caution when moving or disposing of hot grease.

•Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

•If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir them together before heating.

•Use a deep fat thermometer, if possible, to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking
point.

•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

•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

Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is

still hot. Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as
they could be injured or burned.

CAUTION

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard
of 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 30 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
self-clean. (For Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413)

•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.

ENGLISH

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 (Self Clean Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413)

•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: 160 °F

•Poultry: 165 °F

•Beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 145 °F

•Fish/seafood: 145 °F

and install the range. (Excessive Weight
Hazard) Failure to do so can result in back or

other injury.

•Do not use the door handles to push or

pull the range during installation or when
moving the range out for cleaning or
service. Doing so can result in serious damage

to the door of the range.

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

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also
be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid
dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe
with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape
or glue. These products can damage the surface of
your range.

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

Choosing the Proper Location

CAUTION

•Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To
minimize the hazard caused by reaching over
the open flames of operating burners, install a
ventilation hood over the range that projects
forward at least five inches beyond the front of
the cabinets.

•Make sure wall covering, countertop and

cabinets around the range can withstand
the heat (up to 194 °F) generated by the
range. Discoloration, delamination or melting

may occur. This range has been designed to
comply with the maximum allowable wood
cabinet temperature of 194 °F.

•Before installing the range in an area

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. If the range can be
tipped, reinstall the range until the anti-tip bracket is
properly installed and the range will not tip forward.

•Turn on electrical power. Check the range for
proper operation.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

Your new oven may cook differently from the one
it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it before changing the
temperature settings. If after familiarizing yourself with
the new oven, you still think that it is too hot or too
cold, you can adjust the oven temperature yourself.

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.

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

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.

ENGLISH

•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.

28

OPERATION

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

Place the end of the rack on the support.

1

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)

Touch Bake.

1

Set the oven temperature: touch 3, 7 and 5.

2

Oven Vent

Using Oven Racks

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

Removing Racks

Pull the rack straight out until it stops.

1

Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.

2

Touch Start. The oven starts to preheat.

3

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.

When cooking is complete, touch Clear/Off.

4

Remove food from the oven.

5

NOTE

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

OPERATION

29

Baking Tips

•Baking time and temperature will vary depending
on the characteristics, size, and shape of the
baking pan used.

•Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe
time.

•Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick
finish), heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or other
bakeware recommended for oven use.

•Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook food
faster with more browning. Insulated bakeware will
slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.

NOTE

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

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.

ENGLISH

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)

Touch Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast. The display

1

flashes 350 °F.

Set the oven temperature: touch 3, 7 and 5.

2

Touch Start. The display shows Conv. Bake or

3

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.

When cooking has finished or to cancel, touch

4

Clear/Off.

NOTE

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

Tips for Convection 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.

Place the oven rack on the bottom.

1

Place the grid in the broiler pan.

2

Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.

Broil

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

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

CAUTION

•Do not use a broiler pan without a grid. Oil can
cause a grease fire.

•Do not cover the grid and broiler pan with
aluminum foil. Doing so will cause a fire.

•Always use a broiler pan and grid for excess fat
and grease drainage. This will help to reduce
splatter, smoke, and flare-ups.

NOTE

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

Speed Broil (on some models)

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

Setting the oven to Broil / Speed Broil

Smoking

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

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 will 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.

ENGLISH

Touch Broil or Speed Broil once for Hi or twice

1

for Lo.

Touch Start. The oven begins to heat.

33

Tips for Broiling
Beef

•Steaks and chops should always be allowed to rest
for five minutes before being cut into and eaten.
This allows the heat to distribute evenly through the
food and creates a more tender and juicy result.

•Pieces of meat that are thicker than two inches
should be removed from the refrigerator 30 minutes
prior to cooking. This will help them cook more
quickly and evenly, and will produce less smoke
when broiling. Cooking times will likely be shorter
than the times indicated in the Broiling Chart.

•For bone-in steaks or chops that have been
frenched (all meat removed from around the bone),
wrap the exposed sections of bone in foil to reduce
burning.

Seafood

•When broiling skin-on fish, always use the Lo broil
setting and always broil the skin side last.

•Seafood is best consumed immediately after
cooking. Allowing seafood to rest after cooking can
cause the food to dry out.

•It is a good idea to rub a thin coating of oil on the
surface of the broiling pan before cooking to reduce
sticking, especially with fish and seafood. You can
also use a light coating of non-stick pan spray.

Vegetables

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

Warm

This function will maintain an oven temperature of
170 °F. The Warm function will keep cooked food

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Glass-Ceramic
Cooktop

CAUTION

•Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning
pads. They may damage your cooktop surface.

•For your safety, wear an oven mitt or pot
holder while using a scraper on the hot cooking
surface.

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

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

Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean

1

it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps
protect the top and makes cleanup easier.

Use ceramic cooktop cleaner daily to help keep

2

the cooktop looking new.

Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few

3

drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.

Burned-On Residue

While the cooktop is still hot, remove any burnt

1

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.

NOTE

•Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

•To prevent burns, wear an oven mitt or pot
holder while using the metal scraper.

When the cooking surface has cooled down,

2

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.

ENGLISH

Use a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop

4

surface.

Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or

5

paper towel to remove all cleaning residue.

NOTE

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

IMPORTANT

If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves,
ketchup, tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups,

MAINTENANCE

Metal Marks and Scratches

Be careful not to slide pots and pans across

1

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.

If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper

2

are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave
black discoloration on the cooktop. This should
be removed immediately before heating again or
the discoloration may be permanent.

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.

EasyClean

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

•For Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413

While EasyClean
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.

•Helps loosen light soils before hand-cleaning

•EasyClean

•Makes for a better self-clean experience

This model does not include a self-clean option.
The EasyClean® feature may not be effective in
removing heavy, built-up soils. Because the range
does not include a self-clean option, clean the
oven regularly using the EasyClean® feature to

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
the oven cavity cools down.

•A plastic spatula can be used as a scraper to
scrape off any chunks or debris before and during
oven cleaning.

•Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring pad
may help to take off burnt-on stains better than a
soft sponge or towel.

•Certain non-scratch scrubbing sponges, such as
those made of melamine foam, available at your
local stores, can also help improve cleaning.

•The range should be level to ensure that the bottom
surface of the oven cavity is entirely covered by
water at the beginning of the EasyClean

•For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap
water may leave mineral deposits on the oven
bottom.

•Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will
be more difficult to remove with the EasyClean
cycle.

•Do not open the oven door during the EasyClean
cycle. Water will not get hot enough if the door is
opened during the cycle.

•For hard to reach areas such as the back surface
of the lower oven, it is better to use the Self Clean
cycle. (For Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413)

Self Clean (For Model :
LDE4415 / LDE4413)

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.

FAQs

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

•The pans must have a flat bottom and straight
sides.

•Only use heavy-gauge pans.

•The pan size must match the amount of food to be
prepared and the size of the surface element.

•Use tight fitting lids.

•Only use flat-bottom woks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why is the time flashing?

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

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

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

Can I use aluminum foil on the racks?

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

CAUTION

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

Can I leave my racks in the oven when running a
Self Clean cycle? (For Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413)

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.

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.

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.

•For Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413
Sugar-based and certain greasy soils are especially
hard to clean. If some stubborn soils remain, use the
Self Clean feature to thoroughly clean your oven.

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

Soils on the side and rear walls of your oven range
may be more difficult to fully soak with water. Try

®

repeating the EasyClean

process with more than

the ¼ cup (2 oz or 60 ml) spray recommended.

®

Will EasyClean

get all of the soils and stains out

completely?

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

•For Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413
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.

•For Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413
However, certain types of soils are harder to clean
than others. For these stubborn soils, the Self Clean
cycle is recommended. Consult the Self Clean section
of your owner's manual for details.

Is it safe for my convection fan, broil burner or

®

heater element to get wet during EasyClean

?

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

Do I need to use all 1¼ cups (10 oz or 300 ml) of

®

water for EasyClean

?

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

I see smoke coming out of my oven range’s

®

cooktop vents during EasyClean

. Is this normal?

This is normal. This is not smoke. It is actually water
vapor (steam) from the water in the oven cavity. As

®

the oven heats briefly during EasyClean

, the water
in the cavity evaporates and escapes through the
oven vents.

®

How often should I use EasyClean

®

EasyClean

can be performed as often as you wish.

?

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

®

What is required for EasyClean

?

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

®

Can I run the EasyClean

cycle on both of my

ovens at once?

®

Yes. You can run the EasyClean

cycle on both
ovens at the same time. Some oven surfaces will be
hot after the cycle completes running. Avoid leaning
or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning the
oven cavities.

•For Model : LDE4415 / LDE4413
You can not run the Self Clean cycle on both ovens at
the same time.
