Troubleshooting - Range LSE4617
[Narrator]
LG's induction range will revolutionize the way you cook with more speed, precision, and efficiency than on a traditional range.
If you are new to induction cooking, some simple troubleshooting should help you get the most out of your new LG induction cooktop.
Improper cookware can cause issues such as the cooktop not cooking, not maintaining a rolling boil, or not cooking fast enough.
Before using the induction cooktop, determine if your cookware is induction compatible.
Induction only works with ferromagnetic materials such as enameled steel, cast iron, and some stainless steel.
Induction does NOT work with glass, Pyrex, aluminum, copper, ceramic, and some stainless steel.
To check cookware for compatibility placing a magnet on the bottom of the pan, if the magnet sticks then the cookware is induction compatible.
Note: Induction works best with cookware with the flat and even base.
Avoid using cookware with the curved or patterned base.
Cookware used should be sized correctly for the induction heating elements.
The diameter of the cookware base should be no more than half an inch smaller than the element diameter.
Non-compatible cookware is the usual cause for heating and cooking issues.
If cookware is not compatible with induction, the range will not detect it and will display a slowly pulsating LED bar.
When the proper cookware is detected, the display shows a solid red LED bar indicating that the element is activated and working properly.
A rapid pulse displays when the Boost mode is activated.
Selecting Boost mode, temporarily increases the power of the element to a very high level, for faster heating of large amounts of food or water.
Boost mode can operate for a maximum of 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, the element automatically changes to a HI power level.
Due to high power demand, only one induction element from each pair of elements can be run in Boost mode at one time.
If both elements in a pair are set to Boost mode, both elements will revert to HI.
It is normal for your induction range to emit sounds.
When you first turn on the heating element, the cooktop beeper will sound be followed by the control board cooling fans and then the relay switches.
However, if you hear vibration noise such as this, the problem may be due to uneven cookware and is more noticeable when using the larger elements with Boost mode selected.
Be sure to use induction compatible cookware with a flat and even base to reduce vibration noise.
If you notice slight discoloration, streaks, or specks on the cooktop, they may be caused by mineral deposits in water or my spilled food.
Some scratches, abrasions, or metal marks on the cooktop can be caused by salt or sand on cookware, or metal cookware.
Clean cookware bases before using a glass induction cooktop and pick cookware up rather than sliding it.
Spills and mass do not burn on an induction surface, making cleanup easier.
Clean the cooktop using a metal blade scraper to remove heavy soil.
Use a glass/ceramic cleaning solution to clean any remaining residue.
Do not slide cookware or use cookware with rough finishes, sand, salt, or other abrasives on the base.
To avoid residue and water deposits, clean and dry cookware before use.
A little care will keep your induction cooktop looking its best.
