The EasyClean design is a fraud. Unless you clean within an hour of the spill - EasyClean gives you 20 minutes to have a cup of coffee before you have to get down on your knees with caustic cleaners and manually clean the oven.

Gas Single Oven Slide-in Range with ProBake Convection® and EasyClean®, Model # LSG4511ST on its product information page on the Best Buy site that list the Oven Cleaning Method as Self-Steam Cleaning are incorrect. This oven only feature's LG's EasyClean® feature that takes advantage of LG’s new EasyClean® enamel technology 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. It does not feature LG's Self-Clean feature can that uses intense heat that 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. The Self-Clean feature does not use steam. The EasyClean® feature may not be effective in removing heavy, built-up soils. Because the range does not include a self-clean option, clean the oven regularly using the EasyClean® feature to prevent heavy, burnt-on soil from building up in the oven. For the EasyClean® feature, you need to fill a spray bottle with 1¼ cups (10 oz or 300 ml) of water and use the spray bottle to thoroughly spray the inside surfaces of the oven, and use at least ¼ cup (2 oz or 60 ml) of the water to completely saturate the soil on both the walls and in the corners of the oven, then spray or pour the remaining 1 cup (8 oz or 250 ml) of water onto the bottom center of the oven cavity. The indentation on the oven bottom should be fully covered to submerge all soils. After that, you need to close the oven door then turn the oven mode knob to select EasyClean® and press Start. During the EasyClean® cycle, the oven becomes hot enough to cause burns so you will have to wait until the cycle is over before wiping the inside surface of the oven to avoid any burns. A tone will sound at the end of the 10 minute cycle. Turn the oven mode knob to the Off position to clear the display and end the tone. After the cleaning cycle and during hand-cleaning, enough water should remain on the oven bottom to completely submerge all soils. You can add water if necessary and place a towel on the floor in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill out during hand-cleaning. The oven cavity should be cleaned immediately after the EasyClean® cycle by scrubbing with a wet, non-scratch scouring sponge or pad. (The scouring side will not scratch the finish.) Some water may spill into the bottom vents while cleaning, but it will be captured in a pan under the oven cavity and will not hurt the burner...^IFV
