CARE AND CLEANING
EasyClean™
LG’s new oven with EasyClean™ enamel technology gives
you two cleaning options for the inside of your 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 20 minutes in low temperatures to
help loosen LIGHT soils before hand-cleaning.
While EasyClean™ is quick and effective for small and
LIGHT soils, the Self Clean feature can be used to remove
HEAVY builtup 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, your range still provides the Self Clean
option for longer, more thorough oven cleaning for
heavier, built up soils.
BENEFITS OF EasyClean™
• Helps loosen light soils before hand-cleaning
• EasyClean™ only uses water; no chemical cleaners
• Makes for a better Self Clean experience
- Delays the need for a Self Clean cycle
- Minimizes smoke and odors
- Can allow shorter Self Clean time
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), “OVEN IS HOT- - PLEASE WAIT” will
appear in the display, and the EasyClean™ cycle will not
be activated until 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™ cycle.
• For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water
may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
• Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be
more difficult to remove with the EasyClean™ cycle.
• Do not open the oven door during the EasyClean™
cycle.
Water will not get hot enough if the door is opened
during the cycle.
• For hard to reach areas such as the back surface of the
lower oven, it is better to use the Self Clean cycle.
