Be careful not to slide pots and pans across the cooktop. Doing so will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface. To help remove these marks, use a ceramic cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops. Scratches from sliding cookware are permanent and are not covered by the warranty. 2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave a black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent. This damage is not covered by the warranty. CAUTION Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. •• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface. •• Do not use cookware with any dirt build-up on the bottom. •• Do not use cookware if there are foreign matters on the cooktop surface. Always clean the cooktop surface before cooking. EasyClean® 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 handcleaning. 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, the 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 NOTE Some models don't include a self-clean option. The EasyClean® feature may not be effective in removing heavy, built-up soils. If the range does not include a self-clean option, clean the oven regularly using the EasyClean® feature to prevent heavy, burnt-on soil from building up in the oven.
