LG LSE4617 Series Owner's Manual page 9

• 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 meats: 160 °F
• Poultry: 165 °F
• Beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 145 °F
• Fish/seafood: 145 °F
