OPERATION

Introduction to Induction  Cooking

How Induction Cooking Works

• An induction coil beneath the ceramic glass cooking surface generates magnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the pots and pans.

• Instead of heating the ceramic glass, this method heats the base of the pan immediately, saving time and energy. Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the pan, the cooking zone itself warms up only slightly. The cooktop does become hot when heat is transferred from the cookware.
  IMPORTANT:

  • Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere with portable radios and phones.
  • Do not put magnetically active objects (e.g., credit cards, computer diskettes, cassettes) on or near the ceramic glass surface while one or more induction cooking zones are in use.
  • Do not put any metal objects (e.g., spoons, pan lids) on the cooking zones as they can become hot when the cooking zones are in use.

Cookware

Induction Cookware
NOTE
Before using the induction cooking elements, carefully read and follow these cookware recommendations and the instructions in the pan sensing sections.

• When purchasing pans for use on the induction cooktop, look for cookware identified by the manufacturer as “induction ready” or “induction capable”, or that is marked by the manufacturer as specifically designed for induction cooking.

• The base material of the cookware must be magnetic for the cooking elements to activate. Use a magnet to check if the cookware base material is suitable. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the cookware can be used for induction cooking.

• For the best possible surface cooking results, use only high-quality, heavy gauge steel cookware on the induction cooking elements. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations when using induction cookware.

Induction Cookware Types
The three most common induction cookware types available are stainless steel, cast iron, and porcelain-enamel-coated metals.

• Stainless Steel is generally excellent for induction cooking. It is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
  NOTE
  Not all stainless steel cookware is magnetic; stainless steel is not always suitable for induction cooking.

• Cast iron cooks evenly and is also good for induction cooking. Do not slide cast iron cookware on the cooktop; cast iron cookware with a rough surface will scratch the ceramic cooktop.

• Porcelain-enamel-coated metals have variable heating characteristics depending on the quality of the base metal. Make sure the porcelain-enamel coating is smooth to avoid scratching the ceramic cooktop.

Incompatible Cookware

• Aluminum, nickel-silver pots

• Heat-resistant glass pots

• Roasting pans

• Stone pots

• Stainless steel pots (without the IH mark)

• Without the IH mark, heating may not work well.

• Pots with partially magnetic base
  Even if there is an IH mark, a container that only has magnetic material on part of the bottom of the container may not be automatically detected or the product may not work properly.

  1. Material that sticks to the magnet
  2. Material that does not stick to magnet

• A pot with legs

• A pot with a round bottom
  The smaller contact area may give poor results.

• Do not use a container with a flat bottom surface smaller than the cooking zone.

Pan Preheat Recommendations

• Induction cooking may decrease the amount of time required to preheat cookware compared to cooking on a radiant element cooktop or gas surface burner.
• Pay close attention to all food items while cooking on the cooktop and until all cooking processes are complete.
  CAUTION
  Remember that induction surface cooking initially heats the cookware VERY QUICKLY if the cookware does not contain food.

Noises during Cooktop Operation

• The electronic processes involved with induction cooking may create some background noises. You may hear a slight buzzing sound when cooking on the cooktop. These noises are part of the induction cooking process and are considered normal.

• Some cookware will buzz, depending on the construction or base material. The buzz may be more noticeable if the contents of the pan are cold. As the pan heats up, the noise will decrease. The noise will also decrease if the power level setting is reduced.
  NOTE

  • When using the induction cooktop, operational noises are more noticeable while cooking in Boost mode. But very loud noises are not normal when induction cooking.
  • The cooktop fan may turn on to reduce the temperature of the product, even when the surface elements are not being used.
  • Cookware that is not marked “IH” may make a loud noise.
  • Under certain conditions, your cookware may produce a high-pitched whistling noise when two elements are in use at the same time. The power levels at which this occurs may vary depending on the kind of cookware being used. Change the power level to eliminate the noise or reduce its volume.

Use Flat-Bottomed Cookware
Cookware must fully contact the surface of the cooking element. Use flat- bottomed pans sized to fit the cooking element and amount of food being prepared. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

---|---

To quickly boil a very large quantity of water, set the center element to Boost, use a pot that is at least 9″ in diameter so that the center element is activated, and turn off all other elements.

Minimum Cookware Size
Use cookware with a bottom surface diameter of 5 13/16″ (147 mm) or greater.

Cookware Placement
Use the proper cookware and place it correctly on the cooktop. One or more of the cooking elements will not heat if any of the incorrect conditions shown is detected by the sensors located below the ceramic cooktop surface. Correct the problem before attempting to use the cooktop.

• Correct

  • Cookware is centered correctly on surface of cooking element.

  • Pan has flat bottom and straight sides.

  • Pan size meets or exceeds the recommended minimum size for the cooking element.

  • Pan rests completely on the cooktop surface.

  • Pan is properly balanced.

• Incorrect

  • Cookware is not centered on surface of cooking element.

  • Pan has curved or warped bottom or sides.

  • Pan does not meet the minimum size required for the cooking element used.

  • Pan bottom rests on cooktop trim or does not rest completely on the cooktop surface.

  • Pan is unbalanced by heavy handle.

Avoiding Scratches

• Use heavier gauge stainless steel cookware on your ceramic cooktop surface. This will help reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
• Low-quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface.
• Cookware should always be lifted over the ceramic cooktop surface to prevent scratching.
• Over time, sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop may alter the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually, the buildup of scratches can make cleaning the surface difficult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.
• Scratches can also result from grains of sand (from washing vegetables) which are dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.

For Best Results
Always follow the recommendations for proper cookware type and size. In addition:

• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after cooking, and make sure that the bottoms of the pans are clean and dry.
• When cooking with large amounts of liquid, use large pots so that nothing can boil over.
• Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty.)
• Match the pan size and cooking zone to the amount of food being prepared.

Tips for Saving Energy

• Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.

  1. not aligned
  2. bottom not flat
  3. handle too heavy

• Dirty cooking zones and cookware use more electricity.

• Whenever possible, place lids firmly on pots and pans so that they are completely covered.

• The base of the pot should be the same size as the cooking zone.

Tips for Induction Cooking
Getting the results you want when cooking can take a bit of time and effort. If you are not familiar with induction cooking, it may take a bit of practice or adjusting of your usual methods to achieve the expected results. Using the cooking chart and these cooking tips as a guide, you will soon be enjoying the benefits of induction cooking.

• The quantity or quality of some foods can affect their cooking times.
• When safe, allow food to come to room temperature before cooking to take advantage of induction’s ability to heat food quickly.
• Cookware heats up very quickly when induction cooking. Check food or liquids occasionally and stir or reduce heat to avoid scorching, overcooking, splattering, or boilovers.
• Sauces, soups, and stews may heat up more quickly than you are used to and boil over if not watched. For best results, stir frequently.
• Overcooked food loses moisture and tastes dry, while undercooked food can cause illness. For best results, use a thermometer to ensure that food is heated to a safe internal temperature.
• Use nonstick or seasoned pans when cooking to reduce the amount of additional fat added to a recipe.
• Don’t overcrowd cookware. To avoid slow cooking times and poor results, use cookware that is appropriately sized for the amount of food you are cooking.
• When boiling water on the center element, a 11″ (36-inch cooktop) or 10″ (30-inch cooktop) diameter pot gives the best performance and saves the most time.
• Use the Boost setting to quickly boil water, or whenever you need extra heating power in one element.
• To prevent damage to the product, the cooking zones are separated into two groups, and you can only use the Boost function on one cooking zone in each group at once. As shown, you can use Boost on a cooking zone in group 1 and a cooking zone in group 2 at the same time. If the power range is exceeded by selecting the Boost function, a power management function automatically reduces the heat setting of the cooking zone. If you try to use Boost on two cooking zones in the same group, the selected cooking zone displays a flashing b and G and the power level is automatically set to 9 rather than Boost.

• If any sugar or food containing sugar spills, or plastic or foil melts on the cooktop, remove the material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper while the cooking surface is still hot to avoid the risk of damage to the glass-ceramic surface. When used correctly, the scraper will not damage the cooktop surface. For your safety, please use an oven mitt or pot holder while scraping the hot cooking surface.
• If water or food containing water spills, remove the spill IMMEDIATELY with a dry paper towel.
• Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaning pads. They may damage your cooktop surface.
• For your safety, wear an oven mitt or pot holder while cleaning the hot cooking surface.

Use ceramic cooktop cleaner on the glass cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective or may scratch, damage or stain the cooktop surface.
To maintain and protect the surface of the glass cooktop, follow these steps:

1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.

2. Use ceramic cooktop cleaner regularly to help keep the cooktop looking new. Always allow the cooktop to cool before using ceramic cooktop cleaner.

3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.

4. Use a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface.

5. Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue.
   NOTE
   Any damage or failure of the product resulting from the items below may not be covered under the LIMITED WARRANTY.

   • Sugary spillovers (such as preserves, ketchup, tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, or chocolate) or melted plastics can cause pitting on the surface of your cooktop.
   • If food or water containing calcium (such as baking powder, wine, milk, spinach, or broccoli) is spilled on the cooktop, it can permanently stain or discolor the surface.

Burned-On Residue

1. While the cooktop is still warm, remove any burnt on deposits or spilled food from the glass-ceramic cooking surface with a suitable metal razor scraper. To prevent burns, wear an oven mitt or pot holder while using the metal scraper.

NOTE

  * Do not use a dull or nicked blade.
  * Hold the scraper at approximately a 30° angle to the cooktop.
  * The razor scraper will not damage the markings on the cooking surface.

2. When the cooking surface has completely cooled, apply a few fingertip-sized dabs of a glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner in each cooking zone area. Work the cleaning cream over the cooktop surface with a damp paper towel. Leave the cleaner on for 10 minutes before rinsing it off.

3. Rinse with clean water and wipe the cooktop surface with a clean, dry cloth.

Maintaining the Cooktop
CAUTION

• Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleaners not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic cooktops.
• Let your glass-ceramic cooking surface cool off before cleaning.

NOTE

Metal Marks and Scratches
CAUTION

• Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.

• Do not use cookware with any dirt build-up on the bottom.

• Do not use cookware if there is foreign matter on the cooktop surface. Always clean the cooktop surface before cooking.
  NOTE
  Any damage or failure of the product resulting from the items below may not be covered under the LIMITED WARRANTY.

  • Be careful not to slide pots and pans across the cooktop. Doing so will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface. To help remove these marks, use a ceramic cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.
  • If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave a black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before Calling for Service

Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of a defect in workmanship or materials.

Parts and Features

•    See Control Lock to turn off the Control Lock feature.

Circuit breaker has tripped or fuse is blown.

•    Reset the circuit breaker.

Power outage.

•    Check house lights to confirm power outage.

Installation wiring not complete.

•    Contact the installer or dealer.

Cooktop does not heat| Incorrect cooking zone selected.

•    Make sure the correct control is ON for the cooking zone being used.

No power to cooktop.

•    See “Cooktop does not work” above.

Elements turn off while cooking.| Cooktop inner temperature is too high.

•    Check that cooktop has been installed according to the installation instructions.

Elements do not get hot enough.| Control panel may not be set properly.

•    Check the power level.

Cookware that is not marked IH or convection compatible may not heat properly.

•    Use cookware with the IH mark.

Cookware may not be flat or the correct shape or size.

•    Use cookware with a flat bottom.

•    Minimum cookware size

– Use cookware with a bottom surface diameter of 5 13/16″ (147 mm) or greater.

•    Use the recommended cookware. See Induction Cookware.

A fan sound can be heard.| Cooktop inner temperature is high.

•    This is normal.

The cooling fan will run when any element is turned on. With heavy use the fan may continue to run after the controls are turned off until the cooktop has cooled.

Noises are heard during cooking. The following noises are normal.| Humming/buzzing sound

•    Caused by the magnetic field transmitting power to the cookware. It is most noticeable at high power settings and becomes quieter if the power is reduced.

Whistling sound

•    Most noticeable with lighter weight cookware or when cookware is empty.

•    Under certain conditions, your cookware may produce a high-pitched whistling noise when two elements are in use at the same time. The power levels at which this occurs may vary depending on the kind of cookware being used. Change the power level to eliminate the noise or reduce its volume.

Noises are heard during cooking. The following noises are normal.| Cracking sound

•    May occur when using composite cookware as the different materials resonate and heat at different rates. This will not damage or impair the performance of the cookware.

---|---
Clicking sound

•    Caused by the electrical switches.

•    It is normal to hear a clicking noise when operating cooking zones below power level 6.

Ticking sound

•    Caused by the cookware detection.

The Boost function has been deactivated or cannot be activated.| To prevent damage to the product, the cooking zones are separated into two groups, and you can only use the Boost function on one cooking zone in each group at once. As shown in the Operation section under “Using the Cook Modes,” you can use Boost on a cooking zone in group 1 and a cooking zone in group 2 at the same time. If the power range is exceeded by selecting the Boost function, a power management function automatically reduces the heat setting of the cooking zone. If you try to use Boost on two cooking zones in the same group, the selected cooking zone displays a flashing b and G and the power level is automatically set to 9 rather than Boost.

•    For safety, after 6 minutes the Boost setting will automatically revert to either power level 9 or the previously set power level.

The cookware cannot be detected automatically.| Cookware is not compatible with induction cooktop.

•    Use only cookware that is compatible with the induction cooktop. For details of compatible cookware, see Induction Cookware

Cookware has been damaged.| Cookware is overheated.

•    Never use the Boost mode to preheat empty cookware or to heat oil, butter or lard.

•    Use the Boost function to boil water or heat up large quantities of food quickly.

Output power is different when the same type of cooking zone is used.| Cooktop is overheated.

•    The power level displayed may be different from the actual power level at the high end of the temperature range. To prevent the cooktop from overheating, the power level is controlled automatically.

Power cycling| This is normal.

•    During use, the heating element cycles on/off to control the output power.

The Control Panel does not work properly.| Hot cookware is placed on top of the control panel.

•    To prevent malfunction, do not place the hot cookware on top of the control panel.

Error code FO, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, FF, Fn, FP, FC, FD, FE appears on the display.

•    Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Turn the power off and on again to turn off the error code.

•    If the issue recurs, call for service.

Error code does not appear on the display.

•    Turn off the cooktop and restart it.

•    If the problem continues, turn the circuit breaker off for 60 seconds and turn it back on. If the problem is not fixed, contact a local LG service center or Customer Information Center.

Timer does not turn off the cooking zone.| This is normal.

•    The kitchen timer/cooking timer acts as a simple timer and does not turn off the cooking zone.

The hot surface indicator stays on after the cooking zones are turned off.| This is normal.

•    After you turn off the cooking zones, the indicator remains on until the ceramic glass surface cools down.

•    If the temperature near the product is high, it may take longer for the ceramic glass surface to cool down.

Trouble connecting appliance and smartphone to Wi-Fi network| The password for the Wi-Fi network was entered incorrectly.

•    Delete your home Wi-Fi network and begin the connection process again.

---|---
Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on.

•    Turn off the Mobile data on your smartphone before connecting the appliance.

The wireless network name (SSID) is set incorrectly.

•    The wireless network name (SSID) should be a combination of English letters and numbers. (Do not use special characters.)

The router frequency is not 2.4 GHz.

•    Only a 2.4 GHz router frequency is supported. Set the wireless router to 2.4 GHz and connect the appliance to the wireless router. To check the router frequency, check with your Internet service provider or the router manufacturer.

The appliance and the router are too far apart.

•    If the appliance is too far from the router, the signal may be weak and the connection may not be configured correctly. Move the router closer to the appliance or purchase and install a Wi-Fi repeater.

During Wi-Fi setup, the app is requesting a password to connect to the product (on certain phones).

•    Locate the network name which starts with “LG” under Settings > Networks. Note the last part of the network name.

–    If the network name looks like LGE_Appliance_XX-XX-XX, enter lge12345.

–    If the network name looks like LGE_Appliance_XXXX, enter XXXX twice as your password. For example, if the network name appears as LGE_Appliance_8b92, then you would enter 8b928b92 as your password. In this instance, the password is case sensitive and the last 4 characters are unique to your appliance.

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 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 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 111 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. 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/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair-continued and clicking on “Find My Model & Serial Number”).
  • 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.

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.

  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.

  • 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.
