Care and Cleaning
easyCLEAN
LG’s easyCLEAN enamel in your new oven provides flexibility while cleaning the inside of your range. The easyCLEAN feature
works with LG’s new enamel to help lift LIGHT soils such as drops of cheese from pizzas or LIGHT grease splatter from small
roasts without harsh chemicals for safer and faster hand-cleaning.
While traditional enamel surfaces require harsh chemicals to clean, easyCLEAN uses ONLY WATER and runs for just 20 minutes
in low temperatures to help loosen LIGHT soils before hand-cleaning. Compared to the more intense Self Clean process, your
LG oven will help you clean with LESS HEAT, LESS TIME, 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.
BENEFITS OF easyCLEAN
•
Helps
loosen light soils
before hand-cleaning
•
Non-Toxic.
easyCLEAN only uses water; no chemical cleaners
•
Makes for a better Self Clean experience
- Delays the need for a Self Clean cycle
- Minimizes smoke and odors
- Can allow shorter Self Clean time (2 hours vs. 4 hours)
* The Self Clean cycle can be used for soil that has been built up over time.
Cleaning Tips
• Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the easyCLEAN cycle. If your oven cavity is above 150°F (65°C),
“OVEN IS HOT-
- PLEASE WAIT”
will appear in the display, and the easyCLEAN 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 cleaning the oven.
• Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring pad may help to take off the 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 entire surface of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the
beginning of the easyCLEAN 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 cycle.
• Do not open the oven door during the easyCLEAN 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 SelfClean cycle.
LG’s new oven with easyCLEAN enamel technology
gives the user two cleaning options for different types
of soils. While easyCLEAN is quick and effective for
small and light soils, the Self Clean feature can be used
to remove heavy built-up soils. Due to the intensity
of the Self Clean cycle, there may be smoke and will
require opening up windows as a result of high heat.
