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.

•If cooking on single rack, place the rack in the
position suggested in the charts on the following
pages. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven
racks in positions 3 and 5 (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.

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)

Turn the oven mode knob to select the

1

Conv. Bake or Conv. Roast.

Set the oven temperature: for example, press

2

plus(+) until 375 °F appears in the display.
Press 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, turn the

4

oven mode knob to the Off position.

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
roasting. The broiler pan catches grease spills and
the grid helps prevent grease splatters.

Place the oven rack in the position suggested in

1

the charts on the following pages.
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

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.

Turn the oven mode knob to select Broil or

1

Speed Broil.
Press plus(+) or minus(-) to select Hi or Lo.

2

Press Start. The oven begins to heat.

3

Let the oven preheat for approximately five

4

minutes before cooking the food if using broil.
Turn the oven mode knob to the Off position to

5

cancel at any time or when cooking is complete.

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.

Warm

This function will maintain an oven temperature of
170 °F. The Warm function will keep cooked food
warm for serving up to three hours after cooking has
finished. The Warm function may be used without any
other cooking operations.

Setting the Warm Function

•It is normal for the fan to operate during the
Warm function.

Proof

This feature maintains a warm oven for rising yeast
leavened products before baking.

Vegetables

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

Setting the Proof Function

Use rack position 2 or 3 for proofing.

1

Turn the oven mode knob to select Proof.

2

Press Start.

3

Turn the oven mode knob to the Off position

4

when proofing is finished.

NOTE

•To avoid lowering the oven temperature and
lengthening proofing time, do not open the oven
door unnecessarily. Check bread products early
to avoid over proofing.

•Do not use the proofing mode for warming
food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven
temperature is not hot enough to keep foods
at safe temperatures. Use the Warm feature
to keep food warm. Proofing does not operate
when the oven is above 125 °F. Hot shows in
the display.

•It is normal for the fan to operate during the
Proof function.

OPERATION

Speed Roast

The Speed Roast feature is designed to quickly roast
poultry. The combination of intense heat from the
upper heating element and heated air from the back
heating element result in crispier food and help to
save cooking time. Speed roasting is especially good
for medium sized poultry.

NOTE

•The recommended cook time is 60-65 minutes
for a whole chicken weighing 3.3 lb.

•Adjust the cook time according to the weight of
the poultry.

•Place the oven rack in position 2.

•Speed Roast is designed to reduce the cooking
time. There is no need for preheating.

•This function is optimized for poultry, so
the temperature of Speed Roast cannot be
changed.

not be used during broiling, self clean, warming or
proofing. Always unplug and remove the meat probe
from the oven when removing food. Before using,
insert the probe into the center of the thickest part of
the meat or into the inner thigh or breast of poultry,
away from fat or bones. Place food in the oven and
connect the meat probe to the jack. Keep the probe
as far away from heat sources as possible.

the drawer or surrounding areas and is very
difficult to remove. Use only aluminum foil or
cookware that is capable of withstanding baking
temperature to heat or cover your food.

•Do not use the warming drawer to heat water
or any other liquids. Spilled liquids may cause
an electrical short or result in severe personal
injury, electric shock or death.

•Never place plastics, paper, canned foods or
other combustible material into the warming
drawer. These items pose a severe risk of fire,
damage and injury.

•In the unlikely event that an item falls behind
the warming drawer, always turn the power off
and wait for the warming drawer to cool before
retrieving the item. Never attempt to retrieve
any items that fall behind the warming drawer
without first turning the power off and ensuring
the warming drawer cavity has cooled off.
Failure to do so may result in severe personal
injury, electric shock or death.

•Do not touch the surface of the warming drawer
while it is in operation. Use oven mitts or hot
pads when inserting or removing food to avoid
burns or other injury.

•Do not leave food in the warming drawer for

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.

Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few

3

drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
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,
chocolate) spills, or plastic or foil melts on the
cooktop, remove the molten material IMMEDIATELY
with a metal razor scraper (it will not damage the
decorated cooking surface) while the cooking surface
is still hot to avoid the risk of damage to the
glass-ceramic surface. For your safety, please use an
oven mitt or pot holder while scraping the hot cooking
surface.

MAINTENANCE

Metal Marks and Scratches

Be careful not to slide pots and pans across the

1

cooktop. Doing so will leave metal markings on
the cooktop surface.

To help remove these marks, use a ceramic

2

cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic
cooktops.

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
hand-cleaning.

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.

Benefits of EasyClean

•Helps loosen light soils before hand-cleaning

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 oven, it is better to use the Self Clean cycle.
