If after familiarizing yourself with the new oven, you still think that it is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the oven temperature yourself. 1 Set the oven mode knob to the Off position. 2 Press and hold Start Time for three seconds.
OPERATION 25 Cook Time (Timed Cook) The automatic timer of the Delayed Timed Cook function turns the oven on and off at the time you select. This feature can be used with the Bake, Conv. Bake and Conv. Roast modes. Set the oven to cook for a specific length of time using the Timed Cook feature. This feature can only be used with the Bake, Conv. Bake and Conv. Roast modes.
26 OPERATION Using the Cooktop Using the Cooktop Elements CAUTION Cooking Areas •• Only use cookware and dishes that are safe for oven and cooktop use. The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size. •• Always use oven mitts when removing food from the cooktop and oven. •• Do not place sealed containers on the cooktop.
OPERATION 27 There is one dual element located in the left front position. Use the dual element as a dual or single element. 1 Push in the appropriate knob. 2-A Turn the knob counterclockwise to use it as a Single element. 2-B Turn the knob clockwise to use it as a Dual unit. Heating with inner (smaller) element only •• Always start with hot food. Do not use the warm setting to heat cold food. •• Do not use the warm setting for more than 2 hours.
28 OPERATION Using the Proper Cookware Choosing Cookware The size and type of cookware will influence the settings needed for the best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware. The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are: Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element.
OPERATION 29 Using Oven Racks The racks have a turned-up back edge that prevents them from being pulled out of the oven cavity. Before Using the Oven NOTE •• Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven thermometer placed in the oven cavity may not show the same temperature that is set on the oven. •• It is normal for the convection fan to run while preheating during a regular bake cycle. •• The convection fan motor may run periodically during a regular bake cycle.
30 OPERATION Baking Tips Tips for Convection Baking •• Baking time and temperature will vary depending on the characteristics, size, and shape of the baking pan used. •• Use Convection Bake for faster and more even multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds. •• Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe time. •• Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food.
OPERATION 31 Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in the positions shown.
32 OPERATION Broil Smoking The Broil function uses intense heat from the upper heating element to cook food. Broiling works best for tender cuts of meat, fish, and thinly cut vegetables. Some models may feature a hybrid broiler consisting of an inner broiler that utilizes a carbon heating element which provides instantaneous heat, and a traditional outer broiling element. During normal broiler operation, it is normal for either element to cycle off intermittently.
OPERATION 33 The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature. For best results when broiling, use a pan designed for broiling. Food Quantity and/or Thickness Rack First Side Position (minutes) Second Side (minutes) Comments Ground Beef Well done 1 lb. (4 patties) 1/2 to 3/4" thick 7 3-6 2-4 Beef Steaks Rare Medium Well done 1" thick 1 to 11/2 lbs.
34 OPERATION Tips for Broiling Beef •• Steaks and chops should always be allowed to rest for five minutes before being cut into and eaten. This allows the heat to distribute evenly through the food and creates a more tender and juicy result. •• Pieces of meat that are thicker than two inches should be removed from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking. This will help them cook more quickly and evenly, and will produce less smoke when broiling.
OPERATION 35 Meat Probe The Speed Roast feature is designed to quickly roast poultry. The combination of intense heat from the upper heating element and heated air from the back heating element result in crispier food and help to save cooking time. Speed roasting is especially good for medium sized poultry. The meat probe accurately measures the internal temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles. It should not be used during broiling, self clean, warming or proofing.
36 OPERATION IMPORTANT NOTE Turn the oven mode knob to the Off position to cancel the Meat Probe function at any time. To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting. Operating the Warming Drawer CAUTION •• Always use an oven mitt to remove the temperature probe. Do not touch the broil element. Failure to obey this caution can result in severe personal injury. •• To avoid damage to the meat probe, Do not use tongs to pull on the probe when removing it.
OPERATION 37 Setting Low Type of Food •• Rolls (Soft) •• Empty dinner plates Medium High •• Gravies •• Biscuits •• Casseroles •• Rolls (hard) •• Eggs •• Pastries •• Vegetables •• Roasts •• Bacon •• Pizza •• Hamburger patties •• Fried Foods •• Poultry •• Pork chops Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at the same time. For best results, do not leave food in the warming drawer for more than one hour.
38 SMART FEATURES SMART FEATURES 3 Check Use Read and Write/P2P receive. Before Using Tag On The Tag On function allows you to conveniently use LG Smart Diagnosis™, set the cook mode and EasyClean® features, and communicate with your appliance using a smart phone. To use the Tag On function: 1 Download the LG Smart Oven application to a smart phone. 2 Turn on the NFC (Near Field Communication) function in the smart phone.
SMART FEATURES 39 When using the Tag On function, position the smart phone so that the NFC antenna inside the back of the smart phone matches the position of the Tag On icon on the appliance. (The position of the antenna cannot be seen, so the LG Smart Oven application will attempt to find it and display a target range for the antenna on the smart phone's screen.) If the application is not able to show a target range, position the center back of the smart phone over the Tag On icon on the appliance.
40 MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Glass-Ceramic Cooktop Burned-On Residue 1 CAUTION While the cooktop is still hot, remove any burnt on deposits or spilled food from the glass-ceramic cooking surface with a suitable metal razor scraper. (Similar to scraping paint off of a windowpane, it will not damage the decorated cooking surface.) Hold the scraper at an approximate 30° angle to the cooktop. •• Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning pads. They may damage your cooktop surface.
MAINTENANCE 41 1 Be careful not to slide pots and pans across the cooktop. Doing so will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface. To help remove these marks, use a ceramic cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops. 2 If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.

MAINTENANCE 43 Spray or pour the remaining 1 cup (8 oz or 250 ml) of water onto the bottom center of the oven cavity. The indentation on the oven bottom should be fully covered to submerge all soils. Add water if necessary. NOTE Use the "mist" setting on the spray bottle for better coverage. The entire 1¼ cup (10 oz or 300 ml) of water should be used for each oven cavity cleaned. Do not spray water directly on the door. Doing so will result in water dripping to the floor. 6 Close the oven door.
44 MAINTENANCE Self Clean The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor. This is normal; especially if the oven is heavily soiled. During the Self Clean cycle, the cooktop elements and warming drawer cannot be used. NOTE •• Remove oven racks and accessories before starting the Self Clean cycle. During Self Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning.
MAINTENANCE 45 Do not force the oven door open when the lock icon is displayed. The oven door remains locked until the oven temperature has cooled. Forcing the door open will damage the door. Setting Self Clean with a Delayed Start 1 Remove all racks and accessories from the oven. 2 Turn the oven mode knob to select Self Clean. The oven defaults to the recommended four-hour self clean for a moderately soiled oven. Press plus(+) or minus(-) to select a self clean time from 3 to 5 hours.
