To operate the cooktop, simply select the desired element using the corresponding control panel buttons.
The front two elements on the cooktop are dual-sized, allowing you to adjust the heating area to accommodate different cookware.

Remember to always use appropriate cookware on your cooktop. The manual provides specific recommendations for pan sizes and materials. By following these guidelines, you can ensure efficient heating, prevent damage to your cooktop, and achieve optimal cooking results.
Using the Oven
Your LG Double Oven Electric Range offers a variety of oven functions to meet your culinary needs. The ovens are equipped with precise temperature control, allowing you to bake, roast, and broil with confidence. The user-friendly control panel provides easy access to various settings, including temperature selection, timer functions, and cooking modes.
The oven comes with multiple rack positions, allowing you to adjust the height of your dishes for optimal heat distribution and cooking results. The manual provides recommendations for rack placement depending on the type of food you are preparing. You can bake several dishes simultaneously on different racks, utilizing the oven’s spacious capacity.
For convenience, the oven features a preheating alarm that alerts you when the oven has reached the desired temperature. This ensures that your dishes are cooked at the correct temperature from the start. The oven also includes a timer function, allowing you to set a specific cooking duration and receive a notification when the time is up.
Bake
The Bake function on your LG Double Oven Electric Range is designed for creating a wide variety of baked goods, from delicate pastries to hearty casseroles. The oven’s precise temperature control ensures even heat distribution, allowing your baked goods to rise properly and cook thoroughly.
When using the Bake function, select the desired temperature based on the recipe you are following. The oven will preheat to the selected temperature, and the preheating alarm will sound when it is ready. Place your baking pan in the oven on the appropriate rack position, ensuring that the pan is centered and not touching the oven walls.
For optimal baking results, use oven-safe cookware that distributes heat evenly. Check your baked goods periodically during cooking, as cooking times can vary depending on the recipe and the size of your dish. The manual includes a recommended baking guide with suggested temperatures and baking times for various baked goods.
Convection Bake
The Convection Bake feature on your LG Double Oven Electric Range utilizes a fan to circulate hot air throughout the oven cavity, resulting in faster and more even cooking. This technology allows you to bake multiple dishes simultaneously without compromising on quality. The circulating hot air ensures that food cooks uniformly from all sides, reducing the need to rotate baking sheets or pans.
When using the Convection Bake function, it is important to adjust your baking times and temperatures according to the recipe you are following. The manual includes a convection baking guide with specific instructions for various types of baked goods. You may need to reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit and shorten the cooking time by 10-15% compared to traditional baking.
Convection baking is particularly well-suited for baking cookies, pastries, and roasts, as the circulating heat ensures consistent browning and a crispy crust. The even cooking also helps to prevent over-browning or burning, especially when baking multiple items at once.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast feature on your LG Double Oven Electric Range is designed to deliver exceptional results when roasting meats and poultry. It combines the power of conventional oven heating with a fan that circulates hot air throughout the oven cavity. This creates a more even heat distribution, leading to faster cooking times and perfectly browned, juicy results.
When using the Convection Roast function, you’ll notice that your roasts cook more quickly than they would in a traditional oven. This is because the circulating hot air ensures that heat reaches all sides of the meat evenly, preventing cold spots and promoting faster cooking. The result is a roast that is cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior.
The Convection Roast feature is particularly effective for larger cuts of meat, such as whole chickens, turkey, or roasts. The even heat distribution ensures that the entire roast cooks evenly, preventing overcooked or undercooked areas. The circulating hot air also helps to create a beautiful, golden-brown crust, enhancing the flavor and presentation of your roast.
Broil
The Broil function on your LG Double Oven Electric Range allows you to achieve a perfectly browned and crispy surface on your favorite foods. This high-heat setting utilizes an upper heating element to create intense heat, ideal for quickly searing steaks, grilling vegetables, or toasting sandwiches.
When using the Broil function, it’s important to position your food on the appropriate rack in the oven. Consult your manual for recommended rack positions and distances from the heating element, as different foods require varying levels of heat exposure. It’s also crucial to keep a close eye on your food while broiling, as it can cook very quickly.
For best results, use a broiler pan with a grid to allow excess fat to drip away, preventing flare-ups and ensuring even browning. Be sure to rotate your food halfway through the broiling process to ensure even cooking on all sides. The Broil function is a versatile tool for adding a crispy finish to your meals, allowing you to achieve restaurant-quality results in your own kitchen.
Care and Cleaning
Maintaining the cleanliness of your LG Double Oven Electric Range is essential for optimal performance and longevity. Regular cleaning not only enhances the aesthetics but also prevents food residue buildup and potential safety hazards.
The glass cooktop surface is designed for easy cleaning. Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent to prevent them from hardening. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the surface.
To clean the oven interior, start by removing any removable parts, such as racks and drip pans. For light cleaning, simply wipe down the oven walls with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For a deeper clean, utilize the self-clean function. Follow the instructions in your manual carefully to ensure proper operation. Always allow the oven to cool completely before attempting any cleaning tasks.
