Preheating And Pan Placement; Speed Broil (Upper Oven) - LG LDG3017ST Owner's Manual

Preheating and Pan Placement

 To preheat, set the oven at the required recipe tempera-
ture. Wait until the oven reaches its set temperature
before placing the food in the oven. Preheating is neces-
sary for satisfactory results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastries and breads.
 For best baking results, pans should be centered on the
racks. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans
so that each one has at least 1" to 1
around them.
If cooking on multiple racks in the lower oven, place the
oven racks in position C(a rack) and E(a rack). Place the
cookware as shown in Fig.1.
If cooking on a single rack in the upper oven, place the
oven rack in the position A and in the lower oven, place
the oven rack in the position D. Place the cookware as
shown in the Fig.2.
In the upper oven it is recommended to bake with the
standard rack in the position A.

SPEED BROIL (Upper Oven)

Your LG gas double oven range uses an infrared (IR) ceramic
broil system. Unlike a standard broil system, the IR ceramic
broiler works by converting the heat of the flame into infrared
energy. This system provides an intense heat that can sear
foods quickly with excellent results.
Benefits of the infrared ceramic broil.
- Intense searing heat seals in juices and flavors.
- Broils foods quickly.

der cuts of meat, poultry or fish.
 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.
 NEVER use a broiler pan that is not thoroughly cleaned
and at room temperature. If your broiler pan is dam-
aged, warped, or has heavy permanent soiling, you
should consider replacing it to reduce the amount of
smoke you experience during broiling.

 Remove the pan from the oven to cool down for easy
cleaning.
 For best results, use a pan designed for broiling, as
shown below. The broiler pan will catch grease spill
and the grid will help prevent grease splatters.
For best results, broiling should only be done with the offset
rack in position 'A' in the upper oven.
