36 care and cleaning EasyClean™ (ON SOME MODELS) LG's new oven with EasyClean™ enamel technology gives you two cleaning options for the inside of your 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 20 minutes in low temperatures to help loosen LIGHT soils before hand-cleaning. While EasyClean™ is quick and effective for small and LIGHT soils, the Self Clean feature can be used to remove HEAVY built up soils. The intensity and high heat of the Self Clean cycle may result in smoke which will require the opening up of windows to provide ventilation. Compared to the more intense Self Clean process, your LG oven gives you the option of cleaning 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 • 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 WHEN TO USE EasyClean™ Suggested Cleaning Method EasyClean™ Self Clean* Example of Oven Soiling Soil Pattern Small drops or spots Light splatter Medium to heavy splatter Drops or spots Types of Soils Common Food Items That Can Soil Your Oven Cheese or other ingredients Pizza Steaks, broiled Fat/grease Fish, broiled Meat roasted at low temperatures Fat/grease Meat roasted at high temperatures Filling or sugar based soils Pies Cream or tomato sauce Casseroles * The Self Clean cycle can be used for soil that has been built up over time. CLEANING TIPS • A llow 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 oven cleaning. • Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring pad may help to take off 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. • T he range should be level to ensure that the bottom surface of the oven cavity is entirely 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 Self Clean cycle.
