60 MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Burner Grates
CAUTION
• Do not lift the grates out until they have cooled.
• Do not put the grate in the oven during self
cleaning mode. (On some models)
• Grates should be washed regularly and after
spillovers.
• Wash the grates in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water.
• The grates are dishwasher safe.
• After cleaning the grates, let them dry
completely and securely position them over the
burners.
Cleaning the Cooktop Surface
The EasyClean coating makes cleaning the cooktop
easier. Even heavy grease stains can be removed
using only warm water.
CAUTION
• Before cleaning, turn all controls to OFF and
allow the cooktop to cool.
• To avoid burns, do not clean the cooktop surface
until it has cooled.
• Do not lift the cooktop surface. Lifting the
cooktop surface can lead to damage and
improper operation of the range.
• When water is spilled on the cooktop, wipe up
water immediately. If water is left on the cooktop
for a long time, discoloration may occur.
Foods with high acid or sugar content may cause a
dull spot if allowed to set. Wash and rinse soon
after the surface has cooled. For other spills such
as oil/grease spattering, wash with soap and water
when the surface has cooled, then rinse and polish
with a dry cloth.
1
Remove grates, burners and burner caps
from the cooktop.
2
Scrape off and remove any burned-on debris
with a plastic scraper or old credit card.
3
Clean the cooktop with a wet, non-scratch
scouring sponge or pad.
NOTE
• EasyClean Stainless Steel Cooktop
- To avoid scratching the cooktop surface, do
not use abrasive or metal scouring sponges or
pads.
- Rub in the direction of the grain to avoid
damaging the surface.

- As with any cooktop, some stains may not be
removable.
- To remove hardened residue on the cooktop,
use a kitchen detergent for easier cleaning.
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 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.
You can reduce energy use by cleaning light oven
soils with the EasyClean feature instead of Self
Clean.
When needed, the range 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.
