36 CARE AND CLEANING
EasyClean
TM
(ON SOME MODELS)
LG's new oven with EasyClean
TM
enamel technology gives
you two cleaning options for the inside of your range. The
EasyClean
TM
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
TM
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 op-
tion of cleaning with LESSHEAT, LESSTIME, 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.

CLEANING TIPS
• Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using
the EasyClean
TM
cycle. If your oven cavity is above 150°F
(65°C), "OVEN IS HOT- - PLEASE WAIT" will appear in the
display, and the EasyClean
TM
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 begin-
ning of the EasyClean
TM
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
TM
cycle.
• Do not open the oven door during the EasyClean
TM
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.
