CARE AND CLEANING

your air conditioner is designed for year-round operation with only minimal cleaning and maintenance. For maximum efficiency, it is recommended that you have the cooling coils inspected and cleaned annually. Your local LG Authorized Service Center can provide this inspection and cleaning service for a nominal fee.

WARNING

• Unplug the air conditioner before cleaning or performing any maintenance or servicing.
• Be careful when cleaning coils or removing or reinstalling the filter-the cooling fins are sharp!

Failure to follow the above precautions could result in electric shock or personal injury.

EMPTYING THE WATER COLLECTION TANK
This product has a self-evaporative system. The condensing water will be recycled to cool the condenser. This not only improves cooling efficiency, but also saves energy for you.

Using the Upper Drain Port (Dry Mode Only)

• This can be used when you need dehumidification in high humidity.
• The upper drain port is not used in the Cool or Fan mode.
• Remove the drain plug when using the Dry (dehumidifying) mode.
• Install a drain hose (16mm [5/8″] inside diameter) and place the open end of the hose over a drain or bucket or out the window.

Using the Lower Drain Port
When the internal water collection tank is full, the LED display will show E5 and the air conditioner will turn off until the tank is emptied.

• Unplug the air conditioner, disconnect the exhaust hose from the back, and move the air conditioner to a suitable drain location or outdoors. You may also place a pan under the drain that will hold up to 2 pints of water.
• Remove the drain cap from the drain outlet.
• Once the water collection tank is drained, reinstall the drain cap, making sure it is on securely.
• Place the air conditioner in the desired location, reconnect the exhaust hose, and plug in the air conditioner.

NOTICE:  If the E5 error appears in the display:
The water collection tank is full. Unplug the air conditioner, drain the tank, then plug the air conditioner back in and restart it.
NOTE: After the air conditioner is unplugged, it defaults to the Cool mode with a temperature setting of 75°F (24°C) once restarted.

CLEANING THE CASE
Wipe the case with a slightly damp cloth, then wipe dry with a dry cloth or towel.

• To prevent damage to the finish, do not use gasoline, benzene, thinner, etc., or any abrasive cleansers to clean the air conditioner; they may damage the finish.
• Never pour water onto or into the air conditioner. It could damage internal components and create a shock and fire hazard.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
The air filters should be cleaned every two weeks; depending on indoor air quality, more frequent cleaning may be needed. A dirty air filter will decrease airflow and reduce efficiency. Do not operate the air conditioner without the air filters in place.

1. Pull out each air filter by the handle.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the filters. If the filters are heavily soiled, they can be washed in warm water using a mild detergent. Do not use harsh cleaners or very hot water. Do not wash in a dishwasher.
3. Allow the filters to dry completely before reinstalling.
4. Reinsert the filters.

STORING THE AIR CONDITIONER

If the air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time:

1.  To drain the water collection tank completely, leave the bottom drain cap off long enough to allow any residual water to drain out. Once the tank is completely drained and no more water flows out, reinstall the cap.
2. Remove and clean the filters, allow them to dry completely, then reinstall them.
3. Remove the batteries from the remote.
4. Store the air conditioner in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive dust.

Before using the air conditioner again:

1. Make sure the filters and drain cap are in place
2. Check the power cord to make sure it is in good condition, with no cracks or damage.
3. Place new batteries in the remote.
4. Install the air conditioner as described in the Installation Instructions.

ARBITRATION NOTICE: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES YOU AND LG TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURT, UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT. IN ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIALS ARE NOT PERMITTED. PLEASE SEE THE SECTION TITLED “PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES” BELOW.

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:

1. sending an email to optout@lge.com, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or
2. calling 1-800-980-2973.

You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone:

• your name and address;
• the date on which the product was purchased;
• the product model name or model number; and
• 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.
