Oven Cooking Cycles

BAKE is used to prepare foods such as pastries, breads, casseroles. The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C). The default temperature is 350°F (177°C).

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved.

The CONV Roast feature is designed to give optimum roasting performance. The Convection Roast feature combines a cooking with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. The heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Foods are crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. Convection Roast is especially good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

This crisp convection feature is best for light colored and delicate baked goods like cakes, tarts, cookies, puff pastries, scones, muffins, biscuits, free from yeast breads etc. The fan circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads. The low thermal capacity of the heating element itself makes it possible to shorten the cooking time as much as 30%.

The Broil function uses intense heat from the upper heating element to cook food. BROIL works best for tender cuts of meats, fish, and thinly cut vegetables. Some models may feature a hybrid broiler consisting of an inner broiler that utilizes a carbon heating element which provides instantaneous heat, and a traditional outer broiling element. During normal broiler operation, it is normal for either element to cycle off intermittently.

The FAVORITE feature is used to record and recall your favorite recipe settings. This feature may store and recall up to 3 different settings. The Favorite Setting feature may be used with COOK TIME feature. This feature will not work with any other function including START TIME feature.

This function will maintain an oven temperature of 170°F. The WARM function will keep cooked food warm for serving up to 3 hours after cooking has finished. The Warm function may be used without any other cooking operations or can be used after cooking has finished using TIMED BAKE or DELAYED TIMED BAKE.

This feature maintains a warm oven for rising yeast leavened products before baking.

Sabbath mode is typically used on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays. When the SABBATH mode is activated, the oven does not turn off until the SABBATH mode is deactivated. In SABBATH mode, all function buttons, except for the CLEAR OFF is inactive. “Sb” will appear in both the cook top and oven displays.

This function is specially designed to cook popular kids' foods such as regular crust pizza, rising crust pizza, fresh pizza, chicken nuggets, french fries, and hamburger patties. When using this function, there is no need to preheat the oven prior to cooking.

The warming drawer keeps hot cooked foods at serving temperature. All food placed in the warming drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warming Drawer. The maximum operating time is three hours.

The self clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor. This is normal; especially if the oven is heavily soiled. During Self Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning. Once the Self Clean cycle is set, the oven door will lock automatically. You will not be able to open the oven door until the oven is cooled. The lock will release automatically. The Self- Clean function has cycle times of 3, 4, or 5 hours.

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. 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.
