I can't find my manual and need to clean my oven where something boiled over. It is self cleaning, but I don't know what to do other than turn it to clean. Thanks.

Harriette; Don't use oven cleaner on your "SELF" cleaning oven. You will just cause problems if you do. Let it do it's thing and when its done just wipe out the ashes with a damp cloth.

Go to LG gas stove.com to find repair manual. Here is the link http://www.lg.com/us/support/parts-accessories

On the front of the oven there is a lever.That is the lock.Lock the oven and then set the temp to clean.Some will lock only when the cleaning starts,others need to be locked first.Try it both ways.

" Wish I had read this first. I never would have used the self cleaning option. Thanks for the info!!

Your thermal fuse or TOD mounted to the back of the oven went out during the self clean,it shuts off the power to the elements.
 The oven must be removed from the wall to change this.

If the interior is slick (and porcelain) it is either a self or manual cleaning oven (self cleaning has a latch that lock the door to prevent opening while in the clean mode so you will notice a slot at the top where the latch arm will come out and catch the door).

A self cleaning oven has a non glossy surface inside and this surface spreads the grease and boil over out so it will burn up in continuous use.

did you try setting a start and stop time with the time knobs? i had the same problem til i set 3 hrs on the start and stop, then let it sit (after locking the door and turning the knob to clean). after it was warmed to cleaning temp, the light for cleaning came one...

If this stove has knobs, Make sure the clock keeps time. If it doesn't you will have to manually turn this off. (DON"T FORGET OR LEAVE WHILE CLEANING) Make sure there are no large puddles of oil or grease on the bottom of the oven.If the oven is really dirty it may stink a little. Nothing but the racks can be in the oven.Press the lock button and slide the lock lever to lock the door. Set the stop time for 3 hours and turn the knob by the clock to auto. Turn the oven knob to clean. (MAY have to push to turn all the way to clean) It should start heating up. Let it finish and then cool down. It will not let you unlock or open the door until it is completely cool. Wipe out any remaining ash with a wet rag. ALL CLEAN!

  I believe they make an oven cleaner for self clean ovens.  Don't try regular oven cleaner.  Ruins finish.
