An UltraHeat™ burner is a versatile burner that can rapidly go to high heat to quickly boil, or turn down to a true simmer.

While gas is used for cooking, the electronic ignition system requires electrical power to ignite the burners. In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on the cooktop with a match but should use extreme caution when lighting burners this way. Refer to your owner's manual for model-specific instructions on operating the cooktop during a power outage.

Yes. The burner grates are removable, making it easy to clean both the grates and the cooktop surface. Grates should be cleaned regularly and, of course, after spills. You can wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. The grates may also be cleaned in a dishwasher. Ensure all components are completely dry and properly reinstalled before using the cooktop. When replacing the grates, be sure they are positioned properly over the burners.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element.  LG recommends cookware with flat bottom and straight sides, heavy gauge pans, and cookware that matches the amount of food being prepared.

The LG ThinQ^® app lets you monitor your cooktop's status, view cooking settings, and receive notifications from your smartphone. It can also provide firmware updates and, when paired with a compatible LG range hood, automatically turn the vent fan on or off while cooking. Features may vary by model.

Children should be supervised around the cooktop whenever it is in use, and after use until surfaces have cooled. You can also use the Control Lock feature to help prevent children from accidentally turning on the cooktop. The Control Lock feature disables most control panel buttons and the cooktop controls. Consult the "Control Lock" section of your owner’s manual for details.
