LG understands that cleaning your oven is not an easy task. That's why LG provides cleaning flexibility, both the Self-Clean and Easy Clean.
The Self Clean Cycle uses extremely hot temperatures to clean the oven cavity. While the the Easy Clean Cycle uses ONLY WATER for 10 minutes in low temperatures to help loosen LIGHT soils to help before hand cleaning. While Easy Clean Cycle is quick and effective for small and LIGHT soils, the Self Clean Cycle can be used to remove HEAVY, built up soils.
For heavier built-up soils, especially in those hard-to-reach areas, the Self-Cleaning cycle, where applicable, is designed for thorough cleaning every 6 months.
To prevent activating the control panel during cleaning, disconnect power to the appliance. Clean up splatters with a damp cloth using a glass cleaner. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind.
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.
For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot soapy water. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave it on for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
To avoid scratches, do not use steel wool pads.
Remove the oven racks before operating the Self Clean cycle (on some models) and EasyClean.
The appearance of the range may differ from model to model.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush or crevice attachment to clean the vent louvers (1). Do not remove the panel covering the range.
LG’s EasyClean enamel technology provides two cleaning options for the inside of the range. The EasyClean feature takes advantage of LG’s new enamel to help lift soils without harsh chemicals, and it runs using ONLY WATER for just 10 minutes in low temperatures to help loosen LIGHT soils before hand cleaning.
