An LG LSIL6336 whose oven temperature seems wrong deserves a careful test, because the range combines an induction cooktop with an electric ProBake Convection oven and it is easy to blame the wrong half. The oven is separate from the cooktop: it heats with its own bake and broil elements and a fan, and its temperature is controlled by its own sensor. Induction has no effect on the oven's temperature, so an oven that bakes unevenly or too hot is an oven matter, and the cooktop is a bystander.
The checks in more detail
First prove the problem. Put an oven thermometer on the center rack, set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit in plain Bake and wait at least 20 minutes after the preheat signal; read the thermometer through the glass, or use the InstaView window, which lights the oven when you knock twice so you do not need to open the door. A difference of up to about 15 degrees is normal as the elements cycle.
A larger, steady difference can be corrected: the oven has a temperature offset in its settings, allowing you to add or subtract a few degrees for all bakes. Then look at the other likely causes. Convection modes cook faster and often need a lower temperature than a conventional bake; ProBake Convection moves air with a fan, so recipes may need adjusting. A dark pan browns more than a light one, and a crowded rack blocks the air.
Make sure the door seal is intact and that the rack position matches the recipe. A dirty oven with burnt spills can smoke and give odd readings, so self-clean it if needed. If the temperature swings widely or the offset will not hold, the oven's temperature sensor or its control may be faulty, which an LG technician can test with a meter. Quote LSIL6336F and the serial number, and describe your thermometer test.

Record this first — changing settings destroys the evidence
- The measured temperature against the setting
- The mode and rack
- The pan type

Model-specific
What is true of this model and not of its siblings
- Two systems
- The cooktop and the oven are independent.
- Prove it
- A thermometer shows what the oven does.
- The offset
- Settings let you correct a steady error.
- Convection
- It cooks faster than a standard bake.
- InstaView
- Look without opening the door.
- LG help
- Quote LSIL6336F and the serial number.
- The cooktop does not heat the oven
- Induction heats the pan, not the air, so the cooktop does not warm the oven cavity; a cooktop in use is not a cause of an oven that reads high.
- A thermometer you trust
- A cheap dial thermometer can be off by twenty degrees; check it in boiling water, which should read near 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level.
