Caring for the Lower Oven
®
EasyClean
LG's EasyClean
®
enamel technology provides two
cleaning options for the inside of the lower oven. 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.
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 oven still provides the Self Clean
option for longer, more thorough oven cleaning for
heavier, built up soils.
