FAQs
What types of cookware are recommended for
use with the cooktop?
•
The pans must have a flat bottom and straight
sides.
•
Only use heavy- gauge pans.
•
The pan size must match the amount of food to be
prepared and the size of the surface element.
•
Use tight fitting lids.
•
Only use flat-bottom woks.
Why do the heating elements appear to be turning
On and OFF during use of the cooktop or oven?
Depending on your cooktop element setting or the
temperature selected in your oven it is NORMAL for
the cooking elements to cycle on and off.
My new oven doesn’t cook like my old one. Is
there something wrong with the temperature
settings?
No, your oven has been factory tested and calibrated.
For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and
temperatures carefully. If you still think your new
oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the oven
temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking
needs. Refer to the Oven Temperature Adjustment
section in this manual for easy instructions on how to
adjust your thermostat.
Is it normal to hear a clicking noise coming from
the back of my oven when I am using it?
Your new range is designed to maintain a tighter
control over your oven’s temperature. You may hear
your oven’s heating elements click on and off more
frequently on your new oven. This is NORMAL.
Why is the colon in the clock flashing?
This means that the product has just been plugged
in, or that it has experienced a power interruption. To
clear the flashing colon in the clock, press any key or
reset the clock if needed.
During convection cooking the fan stops when I
open the door. Is that normal?
Yes, this is normal. When the door is opened, the
convection fan will stop until the door is closed.
Can I use aluminum foil to catch drippings in my
oven cavity?
Never use aluminum foil to line the bottom or sides of
the oven or the warming drawer. The foil will melt and
stick to the bottom surface of the oven and will not be
removable. Use a sheet pan placed on a lower oven
rack to catch drippings instead. (If foil has already
melted onto the bottom of the oven, it will not interfere
with the oven's performance.)
Can I use aluminum foil on the racks?
Do not cover racks with aluminum foil. Covering
entire racks with foil restricts air flow, leading to poor
cooking results. Use a sheet pan lined with foil under
fruit pies or other acidic or sugary foods to prevent
spillovers from damaging the oven finish.
CAUTIOn
Foil may be used to wrap food in the oven or
warming drawer, but do not allow the foil to come
into contact with the exposed heating/broiling
elements in the oven. The foil could melt or ignite,
causing smoke, fire, or injury.
Can I leave my racks in the oven when running a
Self Clean cycle? (For Model : LSG4513, LSG4515)
No. Although it will not damage the racks, it will
discolor them and may make them hard to slide in
and out during use. Remove all items from the oven
before starting a Self Clean cycle.
What should I do if my racks are sticky and have
become hard to slide in and out?
Over time, the racks may become hard to slide in
and out. Apply a small amount of olive oil to the ends
of the racks. This will work as a lubricant for easier
gliding.
What should I do for hard to remove stains on my
cooktop?
The cooktop should be cleaned after every use to
prevent permanent staining. When cooking foods with
high sugar content, such as tomato sauce, clean the
stain off with a scraper while the cooktop is still warm.
Use an oven mitt when scraping to prevent burns.
Refer to the MAINTENANCE section of this owner's
manual for further instruction.
