54 MAINTENANCE
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.
You can reduce energy use by cleaning light oven
soils with the EasyClean feature instead of Self
Clean.
When needed, the oven still provides the Self
Clean option for longer, more thorough oven
cleaning for heavier, built up soils.
• For hard to reach areas such as the back surface
of the oven, it is better to use the Self Clean
cycle.
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

EasyClean Instruction Guide
NOTE
• Allow the oven to cool to room temperature
before using the EasyClean cycle. If your oven
cavity is above 150 ℉ (65 ℃), the EasyClean cycle
will not be activated until the oven cavity cools
down.
• The oven 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.
1
Remove oven racks and accessories from the
oven.
2
Scrape off and remove any burnt-on debris
with a plastic scraper.
• Suggested plastic scrapers:
- Hard plastic spatula
- Plastic pan scraper
- Plastic paint scraper
- Old credit card
3
Fill a spray bottle (10 oz or 300 ml) with water
and use the spray bottle to thoroughly spray
the inside surfaces of the oven.
4
Use at least 1/5 (2 oz or 60 ml) of the water in
the bottle to completely saturate the soil on
both the walls and in the corners of the oven.
