IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5
· Never leave prepared food on the cooking zones. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or
become damaged.
· Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum
foil as recommended after the cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed
over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of
electric shock, fire or short circuit.
· Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop. If the cooktop breaks, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
· Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
· Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed. · Keep pets away
from the product to avoid risk of fire or burns. Do not allow pets to climb on
the product
even when it is not in operation. · Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling, due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible
bubbling or boiling is not always present when the container is removed from
the cooktop. This could result in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over when
the container is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the
liquid. To reduce the risk of injury to persons: – Do not overheat the liquid.
– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it. – Do not use
straight-sided containers with narrow necks. – After heating, allow the
container to stand on the cooktop for a short time before moving the
container. – Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the
container after heating. · Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage
space. · Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots or pans. · Do not
turn on the cooking zones with no pots or pans on the element. · The cooking
process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be
supervised continuously. · The appliance must not be installed behind a
decorative door in order to avoid overheating.
Maintenance
· Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All servicing should be
done only by a qualified technician to avoid the risk of personal injury and
damage to the appliance.
· Take care to avoid steam burns if using a wet sponge or cloth to wipe spills
on a hot cooking area. · Wait for the cooktop to cool before using cooktop
cleaners. Some cleaners can produce NOXIOUS
FUMES if applied to a hot surface. · If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. · If your appliance malfunctions
or fractures, switch off all cooking zones, and contact an LG Customer
Information Center for service. · Always keep the control panel clean and dry.
Do not let liquids or grease remain on the cooktop display
area. Spilled or burnt-on foods can activate or deactivate the appliance.
Clean the display area thoroughly to resume normal operation of the appliance.
· Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could
catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on the hood or filters. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s

6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION STATEMENTS
CAUTION
· To reduce the risk of minor or moderate injury to persons, malfunction, or
damage to the product or property when using this product, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
Operation
· This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home.
It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
· Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different sizes. · Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough
to cover the cooking zones. The pan detection
sensors will not allow the affected cooking zones to operate without a pan
present. · Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed cookware are suitable
for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use. · Do not place hot
cookware on cold cooktop glass. This could cause the glass to break. · Do not
slide pans across the cooktop surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface. ·
Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of
breakage, fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This
type of damage is not covered by your warranty.) · Cook meat and poultry
thoroughly, meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160 and poultry to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 180 . Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illnesses. · Prior to using the cooktop for the
first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning cream to the ceramic
surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier
when the cooktop gets soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream
leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and
abrasions. · Please be careful of the cooktop edges when moving pots and pans.
· Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature changes,
but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if hard or sharp objects fall on it.
· Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron, or other pots with rough
edges or burrs. Moving these can cause scratches on the glass. · Do not slide
metal or glass across the cooktop surface. · Do not use cookware with any dirt
buildup on the bottom. · Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bottoms.
This cookware can mark and scratch the cooktop surface. · Do not use the glass
cooktop surface as a cutting board. · The appliance is not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
Maintenance
· Always switch off the appliance before cleaning. · For safety reasons, do
not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high-pressure cleaner. · Clean the
cooktop in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions in this
manual. · Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or rough metal scrapers to clean
the cooktop glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass. · Clean the
cooktop cautiously. Do not use sponges or cloth to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area. Use a
proper metal scraper.
ENGLISH
en-us_main.book.book Page 7 Tuesday, October 17, 2023 9:43 AM

onto a hot cooking zone and melts, remove it with a metal
scraper immediately, while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage the
surface when removed. Use caution and wear an oven mitt to avoid burns. · Keep
meltable objects or materials away from the ceramic glass surface, for
example, plastic utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps. If any materials
or foodstuffs melt on the ceramic-glass surface, these should be cleaned up
immediately. · Use oven mitts to avoid burns when using a metal scraper on a
hot cooking zone. · Refer to the Maintenance section for proper cleaning and
maintenance of the cooktop.
Disposal of Old Appliances
To protect the environment, it is important that worn-out appliances are
disposed of in the correct manner. · The appliance must not be disposed of
with household rubbish. · You can obtain information about collection dates or
public refuse disposal sites from your local
government or waste collection service. · Before disposing of old appliances
make them inoperable so they cannot be a source of danger. To do
this, have a qualified person disconnect the appliance from the house
circuitry.

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 porcelainenamel
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)

· 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.

OPERATION 17
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.
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

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.
)/(;,%/(,1’8&7,21
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.
OPERATION 19 b bottom not flat c 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.

· 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, an 11″ 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 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 dual
element is activated, and turn off all other elements.
· To prevent damage to the product, if one of the right-side elements is
turned on when the center dual element is using the Boost setting, the power
setting of the center dual element is automatically reduced to power level 9.
To maintain the Boost setting on the center dual element, use any of the left-
side elements instead.

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-

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

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 1800-980-2973. You must include in the

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 inperson 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 1800-980-2973. 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.
