LG LRE30955ST Owner's Manual & Cooking Manual page 32

The self clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures
to clean the oven's interior automatically.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur
during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to
clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a
heavy build-up of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well
ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with
cleaning.
• DO NOT leave small children
unattended near the appliance.
- During the Self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the
range can become very hot to touch.
• Move Birds to another well-ventilated
room.
- The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle
of any range.
• DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom
or any other part of the range with
aluminum foil.
- Doing so will destroy 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).
• DO NOT force the door open.
- This can damage the automatic door locking system.
Use care when opening the oven door after the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when
opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.
Before a Self-Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your
kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or
hood during the first self clean
cycle.
Remove the oven racks, broiler
pan, broiler grid, all eookware,
and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
Wipe up heavy soil on the
oven bottom.
• Remove silver-
colored oven racks
before you begin the
self-dean cycle.
DO NOT
clean
Do
• The silver--colored
oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they
will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.
• Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket
on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these
areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads, or
cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water
and dry.
• Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven
door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for
the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn
or frayed,replace it.
• Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.
• Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven
light is off.
• Do not leave baking/pizza stone in the oven during the
Self Clean cycle.
