Need help?Do you have a question about the LG LDG3015SW and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is an installation manual for an LG Gas Double Oven Range, providing comprehensive instructions for safe and proper setup. It emphasizes adherence to local codes and national fuel gas standards, as well as specific Canadian regulations where applicable. The manual is designed for both installers and consumers, with a strong focus on safety precautions to prevent injury, property damage, or gas leaks.
The LG Gas Double Oven Range is a cooking appliance designed for household use, featuring both a gas cooktop with multiple surface burners and a double oven. It is capable of operating on either natural gas or LP gas, with clear instructions provided for conversion by a qualified installer. The range offers versatile cooking options, allowing users to bake, broil, and simmer simultaneously or independently in its two oven compartments and on its surface burners. The appliance is equipped with an electrical ignition system for the burners and ovens, requiring a 120 Volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit.
The manual details several key usage-related features and installation considerations. For the surface burners, it includes instructions for proper assembly of burner caps and heads, ensuring they are correctly seated over the electrodes. It also guides users on checking the ignition of surface burners, noting that a clicking sound indicates proper operation of the spark module and that burners should ignite within 4 seconds after air is purged from the supply lines. A crucial feature is the adjustment of surface burners to a low flame (simmer) setting, which involves removing the knob, inserting a flat-bladed screwdriver into the valve shaft, and turning the adjustment screw until the desired flame size is achieved. The manual also provides tests for flame stability, such as quickly turning the knob from "HI" to "LO" and opening/closing the oven door to check for flame extinguishment due to air currents.
For the double oven, the manual outlines how to check the ignition of both the Bake and Broil burners. Users are instructed to remove all packing from inside the oven cavity, select the desired function (e.g., "Bake" at 350° or "Broil" at "Hi"), and press Start. It notes that it may take between 30 and 90 seconds for the burners to start heating. A significant safety reminder is included: the oven's electrical ignition system means it cannot be used during a power outage.
The range is designed for flush placement against a back wall, with specific dimensions and clearances provided to ensure safe installation relative to adjacent combustible surfaces and overhead cabinets. It specifies minimum clearances from the cooking surface to unprotected cabinets (30 inches) and protected cabinets (24 inches), as well as vertical distances from the cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets (18 inches).
While primarily an installation guide, the manual touches on maintenance aspects related to initial setup and long-term safety. It emphasizes the importance of proper grounding for electrical safety, requiring a 3-prong (grounding) plug and a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle. It warns against using adapter plugs or cutting the ground prong from the power cord.
A critical safety and maintenance feature is the installation of the Anti-Tip Device. This device is packed with the range and must be securely attached to the wall to prevent the range from tipping over, which could cause serious injury. The manual provides instructions for verifying proper engagement of the Anti-Tip device by carefully attempting to tilt the range forward after installation. It also reminds users to re-engage the device if the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning or service.
Gas supply connections are detailed, including the requirement to use NEW flexible metal appliance connectors and pipe joint sealant on all external threads to prevent gas leaks. Leak testing of all gas connection joints and fittings with a non-corrosive leak detection fluid is mandatory, with a stern warning against using a flame for this purpose. The manual also advises consumers to purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.
Leveling the range is another important maintenance-related step during installation, ensuring stable operation and even cooking. This involves installing oven shelves, checking the range's level with a spirit level or a cup of water, and adjusting the front and rear leveling legs with an open-end or adjustable wrench.
Finally, the manual addresses the air shutter adjustment for Bake and Broil burners, noting that the range is factory-set for natural gas and that LP conversion requires specific adjustments by a qualified technician. This ensures proper air flow for combustion, which is crucial for efficient and safe operation. The manual also includes instructions for sealing any openings in the wall and floor after electrical and gas supplies are completed, preventing drafts and ensuring proper ventilation.
