SURFACE BURNERS

⚠ WARNING

• If the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing to the burner until the knob is turned to the “OFF” position.
  Do not leave the burners “ON” unattended.

• Use proper pan size. Do not use pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spills, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, Since heavy spattering or spills left on a range can ignite, use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

• Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. and greasy that may catch on fire.

• Always turn knobs to the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

• Control the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

• Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
  Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware.
  Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.

• If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.

• To prevent burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the cooktop without extending over adjacent burners.

• NEVER place any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

• If frying combination of oils or fats, stir before heating.

• Use a deep fat thermometer if possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying.
  Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill overs when food is added.

• LG does not recommend using a gas cooktop for the preparation of flaming foods.
  If you choose to prepare flaming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.

• Do not use a wok on the surface burners if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. or moisture on foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

• Do not place plastic items on the cooktop-they may melt if left too close to the vent.

• Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.

• To prevent burns, always be sure that the controls for all burners are at the “OFF” position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.

• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

• Always turn knob to the “OFF” position before removing cookware.

• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can cause damage and improper operation of the cooktop.

• If the cooktop is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and catch on fire.

CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT

⚠ WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (US Only)

This law requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the improper combustion of natural or LP gas.
Correctly adjusted burners, indicated by a blue rather than a yellow flame, will minimize improper combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by opening windows or using a ventilation fan or hood.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

• Make sure all grates on the cooktop are properly placed before using any burner.
• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
• Make sure all burners are in place.
• Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate.
  The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

LIGHTING A GAS SURFACE BURNER SEALED GAS BURNERS

• Be sure all the surface burners are placed in their respective positions.
• Push the control knob in and turn it to the LITE position.
• The clicking noise you hear is the sound of the electric spark igniting the burners.
• To control the flame size, turn the knob. If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.
• When one burner knob is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

The medium(left front & rear) and the large(right front) burners are the primary burners for most cooking. These general-purpose burners can be turned down from HI to LO suit a wide range of cooking needs. The extra large burner (center) is the maximum output burner. Like the other four burners, it can be turned down from HI to LO for a wide range of cooking appliances.

Your cooktop has five sealed gas burners. They offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility to be used in a wide
range of cooking applications. The smallest burner is in the right rear.

These burners can be turned down to LO for a very low simmer setting. They provide precise cooking performance for
delicate foods such as sauces or food that requires low heat for a long cooking time.

IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE

In case of a power failure, you can light the gas surface burners on your cooktop with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE position.
Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

SETTING THE FLAME SIZE
NEVER let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware for safe handling of cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

COOKWARE
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.
brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use sauce pans with tight fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

US/NGA WOK
Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards.

This can be hazardous to your health.
Use a 14 inch or smaller flat bottom wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate are available at your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.

Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating of the cookware and could be hazardous.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware-those for oven use only and those for top of the range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

STOVE-TOP GRILLS
Do not use stove top grills on your surface burners. If you use a stove top grill on the surface burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards.
This can be hazardous to your health.

USING THE GRIDDLE

(LCG3091, LCG3691 only)

Your non-stick coated griddle provides an extra – large cooking surface for meats, pancakes or other food usually prepared in a frying pan or skillet.

NOTE: Your griddle will discolour over time as it becomes seasoned with use.

Placing the Griddle: The griddle can only be used on the left side grate.
The griddle must be properly placed on the center grate.
NOTE: Do not remove the left side grate when using the griddle.

⚠ CATION: Do not remove the griddle plate until the cooktop grates, surfaces and griddle plate are completely cooled.

⚠ CATION: The griddle plate on the cooktop may become very hot when using the cooktop. Always use oven mitts when placing or removing the griddle plate.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• To prevent spills, avoid cooking extremely greasy foods on the griddle.
• The griddle can become hot when surrounding burners are in use.
• Do not overheat the griddle. This can damage the non stick coating.
• Do not use metal utensils that can damage the griddle surface. Do not cut foods on the griddle.
• Do not place or store items on the griddle.

CARE AND CLEANING

CARE AND CLEANING

Make sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.

SEALED BURNER ASSEMBLIES
Turn all controls OFF before removing the burner parts.
The burner grates, caps, and burner heads can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.
The electrodes are not removable.

DUAL EXTRA BURNER ASSEMBLY (LCG3091, LCG3691 only)

The burner head, the outer cap and the inner cap can be lifted off, making it easy to clean.
The burner electrode is not removable.

⚠ CAUTION : DO NOT remove any parts from the cooktop until they have completely cooled and are safe to handle. Do not operate the  surface burners unless all burner parts and grates are properly placed.

The electrode of the burner is exposed when the burner head and cap are removed. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burner spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

BURNER CAPS AND HEADS

BURNER CAPS
Lift burner caps off when they are cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water remove burned-on food particles.

BURNER HEADS

The burner heads are removable.
Simply lift them off the cooktop for cleaning.
The slits in the burner heads must be kept clean at all times for an even flame. Clogged or dirty burner ports or electrodes may cause improper operation of the cooktop.
Any spill on or around an electrode must be carefully cleaned. Take care to not hit an electrode with anything hard or it could be damaged.
You should clean the burner caps and heads routinely, especially after bad spill overs which could clog the openings. Lift burner heads off when they are cool.

To get rid of burned-on food, soak the burner heads in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20-30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush.

NOTES:

• Do not use steel wool or scouring powders to clean the burners.
• Burners will not light if the cap is removed.

AFTER CLEANING
Before placing the burner caps and burner heads back, shake out excess water and then dry them thoroughly.

REPLACEMENT
Replace burner heads and caps over the electrodes on the cooktop, in the correct locations according to their size. There are one small, two medium, one large and one extra large burner head and cap.

BURNER GRATES

Your cooktop has three professional-style grates. These grates are position- specific. For maximum stability, these grates should only be used in their proper position. Because of the varied burner sizes, the side grates cannot be exchanged nor can any of the grates be rotated front to back.

CLEANING
Allow grates to cool before handling.
Grates should be cleaned regularly and, of course, after spills. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. When replacing the grates, be sure they are positioned properly over the burners. Replace the grates so that continuous arcs are formed with the center ribs of all three grates.
The grates may be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not operate a burner for a long time without cookware on the grate.
The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
To remove burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container.
Soak them with 1/4 cup ammonia for several hours. or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.

Although they are durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures. You will notice this sooner with lighter colored grates.

NOTE: Do not clean the grates in a self-cleaning oven.

COOKTOP SURFACE

Foods with a lot of acid (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat spattering’s, etc., wash with soap and water after the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish by using a dry cloth. If the surface of the cooktop is stainless steel, to prevent damage and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills immediately.

NOTE: Do not place flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this of any other appliance.

NOTE: Do not try to lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can cause damage and improper operation of the cooktop.

STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES

To avoid scratching the surface, do not use steel wool on stainless steel. Clean with warm, soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Follow the directions on the cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.

To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please call our toll-free customer service number:
1-800-243-0000

CONTROL KNOBS

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel with a damp cloth after each use of the cooktop. Use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Use clean water for rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control knobs – they can cause damage to the finish of the knobs.
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up or down or by hanging a towel or other This can damage the gas valve shaft.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the OFF position and pull them straight off he stems for cleaning.

To reinstall a knob, hold it with the OFF label at the top and slide it directly onto the stem.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty. Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 1000 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs 07632. You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration. Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 1000 Sylvan Avenue Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.

Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law. Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration. Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration. Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, YOU AND LG BOTH IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics Canada, Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.

Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LGECI Legal Team at 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario, Canada M9L 2X6 (the “Notice of Dispute”). You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days of LG’s receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the procedure set out herein. You and LG both agree that, during the arbitration proceeding, the terms (including any amount) of any settlement offer made by either you or LG will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until the arbitrator determines the dispute.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after LG’s receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between you and LG only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below, or you reside in a jurisdiction that prevents full application of this clause in the circumstances of the claims at issue (in which case if you are a consumer, this clause will only apply if you expressly agree to the arbitration). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, except to the extent such a prohibition is not permitted at law, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis except to the extent this prohibition is not permitted at law in your province or territory of jurisdiction as it relates to the claims at issue between you and LG.

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be private and confidential, and conducted on a simplified and expedited basis before a single arbitrator chosen by the parties under the provincial or territorial commercial arbitration law and rules of the province or territory of your residence. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, Canada, Inc., Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration, 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario M9L 2X6. This arbitration provision is governed by your applicable provincial or territorial commercial arbitration legislation. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.

Governing Law. The law of the province or territory of your purchase shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your purchase for the resolution of the claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the applicable laws), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the applicable arbitration rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.

Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely (1) on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the applicable arbitration rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the applicable arbitration rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at the nearest, most mutually-convenient arbitration location available within the province or territory in which you reside unless you and LG both agree to another location or agree to a telephonic arbitration.

Severability and Waiver. If any portion of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures) is unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Should LG fail to enforce strict performance of any provision of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures), it does not mean that LG intends to waive or has waived any provision or part of this Limited Warranty.

Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by either (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out;” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing https://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/repair- service/schedule-repair and clicking on “Find My Model & Serial Number”).

In the event that you “Opt Out”, the law of the province or territory of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG agree to attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your residence for the resolution of the claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.

You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.
Conflict of Terms. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Limited Warranty and the End User License Agreement (“EULA”) in regards to dispute resolution, the terms of this Limited Warranty shall control and govern the rights and obligations of the parties and shall take precedence over the EULA.
