This feature can only be used with the Bake, Conv. Bake and Conv. Roast modes.
OPERATION 31 CAUTION •• Replace the oven racks before turning the oven on to prevent burns. •• Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or any other material, or place anything on the bottom of the oven. Doing so will result in poor baking performance and may damage the oven bottom. •• Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. Removing Racks 1 While wearing oven mitts, grasp the oven rack*. 2 Pull the rack straight out until it stops. 3 Lift up the front of the rack. 4 Pull out the rack.
32 OPERATION Bake Bake is used to prepare foods such as pastries, breads and casseroles. The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170 °F (80 °C) to 550 °F (285 °C). The default temperature is 350 °F (175 °C). Baking Chart This chart is only for reference and can be used for oven. Adjust the cook time according to your recipe.
OPERATION 33 The convection system uses a fan to circulate heat evenly within the oven. This improves heat distribution and allows for even cooking and excellent results, especially when using multiple racks. Convection cooking can also shorten cooking times. Convection Bake Setting the Conv. Bake Function (example: to Conv. Bake 375 °F) Convection Baking Chart If auto conversion is disabled, reduce standard recipe temperature by 25 °F (14 °C) for Convection Bake.
34 OPERATION Cookware for Convection Cooking Convection Roast Any cookware safe for use in a conventional oven will work in a convection oven. But for best results, keep the following in mind. The Convection Roast feature is designed to give optimum roasting performance. Convection Roast combines cooking with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. The heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
OPERATION 35 Setting the oven to Broil Your oven is designed for closed-door broiling. Broil uses an intense heat radiation from the upper gas burner. The Broil function works best when broiling thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry or fish. CAUTION •• Do not use a broiler pan without a grid. The 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.
36 OPERATION Recommended Broiling Guide 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 Ground Beef Well done Quantity and/or Thickness Rack First Side Position (minutes) 1 lb. (4 patties) 1/2 to 3/4" thick 6 5-7 Second Side (minutes) 3-4 Beef Steaks Rare Medium Well Done 1" thick 1 to 11/2 lbs.
OPERATION 37 Warm This function automatically sets the oven temperature to cook either frozen pizza with regular or rising crust, or freshly made pizza. Simply choose the type of pizza (see chart) and set the desired cook time. This function will maintain an oven temperature of 170 °F. The Warm function will keep cooked food warm for serving up to three hours after cooking has finished. The Warm function may be used without any other cooking operations.
38 OPERATION Meat Probe 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. Always unplug and remove the meat probe from the oven when removing food. Before using, insert the probe into the center of the thickest part of the meat or into the inner thigh or breast of poultry, away from fat or bones. Place food in the oven and connect the meat probe to the jack.
OPERATION 39 Warming Drawer food/power level recommendations Setting Low Type of Food •• Rolls (Soft) •• Empty dinner plates Medium The Warming Drawer keeps hot cooked foods at serving temperature. All food placed in the Warming Drawer should be covered with an oven-safe lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not place foil on bottom or sides of drawer. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean.
40 OPERATION CAUTION •• Do not use the warming drawer for storage of racks, broiler pans, insert pans, plates, or utensils. The warming drawer contains a heating element which may damage any items not specifically designed to be used with it and should only be used to store cookware specifically supplied by LG with your range. •• Do not put food or foil directly on the surface or base of the warming drawer. This may result in damage to your drawer and may spoil your food.
SMART FEATURES 41 3 Check Use Read and Write/P2P receive.

MAINTENANCE 43 CAUTION •• Do not clean this appliance with bleach. •• To prevent burns, wait until the cooktop has cooled down before touching any of its parts. •• Always wear gloves when cleaning the cooktop. Gas Surface Burners Removing and Replacing the Gas Surface Burners Grates and burner heads/caps can be removed for care and cleaning. Cleaning Burner Heads/Caps For even and unhampered flame, the slits in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times.
44 MAINTENANCE Burner Grates Cleaning the Cooktop Surface The range consists of three separate professionalstyle grates. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used when in their proper position. The two side grates can be interchanged from left to right and front to back. The center grate can be interchanged from front to back. Side grate Center grate Side grate CAUTION •• To avoid burns, do not clean the cooktop surface until it has cooled. •• Do not lift the cooktop surface.
MAINTENANCE 45 It is best to clean the manifold panel after each use of the range. For cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soapy water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth. The control knobs may be removed for easy cleaning. 1 2 To clean the knobs, make sure that they are in the Off position and pull them straight off the stems. Be careful not to lose the knob springs.
46 MAINTENANCE CAUTION Do not use harsh cleaners or harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. Doing so can cause damage.

48 MAINTENANCE 5 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.
MAINTENANCE 49 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.
50 MAINTENANCE CAUTION 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 three-hour self clean for a moderately soiled oven. Press plus(+) or minus(-) to select a self clean time from 2 to 5 hours.
MAINTENANCE 51 The oven light is a standard 40-watt appliance bulb. It turns on when the oven door is open. When the oven door is closed, press Light to turn it on or off. Removing and Replacing the Lift-Off Oven Doors and Drawer Warning •• Make sure that the oven and bulb are cool. •• Disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so can result in severe personal injury, death, or electrical shock. 1 Unplug the range or disconnect power.
52 MAINTENANCE Replacing the Door 1 2 Removing the Drawer Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top. With the door at the same angle as the removal position, seat the indentation of the hinge arms into the bottom edge of the hinge slots. The notch in the hinge arms must be fully seated into the bottom edge of the slots. Hinge arm Bottom edge of slot CAUTION Disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
