IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•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 abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass, since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
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.
•During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.
•The appliance must not be installed behind a decorative door in order to avoid overheating.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
WARNING
Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in a fire.
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.
•Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.
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.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

•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.
•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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
•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.
•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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
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.
•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 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.
•Excess spillage must be removed before cleaning.
•Steam cleaner is not to be used.
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 (71.1 °C)
•Poultry: 165 °F (73.9 °C)
•Beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 145 °F (62.8 °C)
•Fish/seafood: 145 °F (62.8 °C)
9
Using Oven Racks
•The racks have a turned-up back edge that prevents them from being pulled out of the oven cavity.
•When removing racks, pull the rack straight out until it stops, and lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.
•When replacing racks, place the end of the rack on the support, and tilt the front end up and push the rack in.
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.

•You should use two or more people to move
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
covered with linoleum or other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand temperatures of at least 200 °F (93 °C).
•Use an insulated pad or
plywood under the range if installing the range over carpeting.

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.
•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
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 fan turns off if the door is left open during baking. The fan 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)

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 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 4(or 5) for two 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.
