Connecting the Water Inlet

Hose

To generate steam, the dryer must be connected

to the cold water tap using a new water supply

hose. Do not use old hoses.

WARNING

• Do not overtighten the hoses or cross-thread the

hose fittings. Overtightening or cross-threading

can damage the valves or couplings, resulting in

leaking and property damage.

• Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses

when installing the appliance. Old hoses could

leak or burst causing flooding and property

damage. Contact an LG Customer Information

Center for assistance in buying hoses.

CAUTION

• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks,

and wear, and replace the hoses every five years.

• Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and

make sure that they are not pinched, crushed or

kinked by other objects.

• Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi

and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). If the water supply

pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure

reducing valve must be installed.

• Do not store or install the appliance in a location

subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the

water inlet hoses and internal mechanisms of

the appliance can result. If the appliance was

exposed to freezing temperatures prior to

installation, allow it to stand at room

temperature for several hours before use and

check for leaks prior to operation.

• Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto

shut off devices. The devices can be tripped

during fill and prevent the appliance from filling

properly.

How to Connect the Water Inlet

Hoses

1 Check the fittings and seals. Inspect the

threaded fitting on each hose and make sure

there is a rubber seal a in place in both ends

of each hose to prevent leaking.

2 Check the type of installation and connect the

hose to the faucet. Connect all water supply

hoses tightly by hand and then tighten

another 2/3 turn with pliers.

• Type 1 : WITHOUT WASHER (The dryer does

not share the faucet with the washing

machine.)

1) Connect the straight end of the long

hose

b to the cold water faucet.

• Type 2 : WITH WASHER (The dryer shares

the faucet with the washing machine.)

1) Shut off the cold water tap and remove

the washer inlet hose.

2) Connect the short hose

c to the Y-

connector d using one of the rubber

seals.

3) Connect the other end of the short hose

c to the cold water faucet.

4) Connect the long dryer hose b to one

side of the Y-connector d. Connect the

24 INSTALLATION

washer hose to the washer and the

other side of the Y-connector d.

NOTE

• Before connecting the water line to the dryer,

flush several gallons of water into a drain or

bucket. This will help prevent foreign particles

such as sand and scale from clogging the dryer

inlet valve.

3 Connect the long dryer hose b to the dryer

inlet valve tightly by hand and then tighten

another 2/3 turn with pliers.

4 Turn on the cold water faucet.

5 Check all hoses and Y-connectors (if used) for

leaks.

NOTE

• If any leaks are found, shut off the water faucet,

remove the hose and check the condition of the

rubber seal.

Final Installation Check

Once you have completed the installation of the

dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper

operation with the following tests.

Test Dryer Heating

Gas Models

Close the dryer door and press the Power button

to turn the dryer on. Turn the knob to select Timed

Dry and press the 8(OK) button to start the test.

When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the

main burner.

NOTE

• If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas

igniter may turn off before the main burner

ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt

gas ignition after approximately two minutes.

Electric Models

Close the dryer door and press the Power button

to turn the dryer on. Turn the knob to select Timed

Dry and press the 8(OK) button to start the test.

The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer

has been operating for 3 minutes.

Checking Airflow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.

The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by

evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in

the exhaust duct can be measured with a

manometer, placed on the exhaust duct

approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static

pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6

25INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while

the dryer is running with no load.

Checking Levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the

dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front

to back and side to side, and that all four leveling

feet are in firm contact with the floor.

Test Exhaust System

Once you have completed the installation of the

appliance, use this test to make sure the condition

of the exhaust system is adequate for proper

operation of the appliance. This test should be

performed to alert you to any serious problems in

the exhaust system of your home.

•Your appliance features Flow Sense

, an

innovative sensing system that automatically

detects blockages and restrictions in dryer

ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint

buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to

dry faster and reduces energy use.

NOTE

• The appliance should be cool before starting this

test. If the appliance was warmed up during

installation, run the Air Dry cycle for a few

minutes to reduce the interior temperature.

Activating the Installation Test

1 Remove the drying rack (on some models)

and literature, and then close the door.

• Do not load anything in the drum for this

test, as it may affect the accuracy of the

results.

2 Press the Power button then IMMEDIATELY

press and hold the Low Static and Options

buttons.

• This button sequence activates the

installation test. A message will display if

the activation is successful.

3 Press the Start/Pause button.

• The appliance will start the test, which will

last a few minutes. The heat will be turned

on and the temperatures in the drum will be

measured.

4 Check the display for results.

• During the test cycle, monitor the Flow

Sense

display on the control panel. If the

Flow Sense

LED has not turned on when

the cycle ends, the exhaust system is

adequate. If the exhaust system is severely

restricted, the Flow Sense

LED will turn

on. Other problems may also be shown with

error codes. See the chart on the next page

for error code details and solutions.

•If the Flow Sense

LED indicates that the

exhaust system is severely restricted, have

the system checked immediately, as

performance will be poor.

5 End of cycle.

• At the end of the test cycle, a message will

display. The test cycle will end and the

26 INSTALLATION

appliance will shut off automatically after a

short delay.

Check the Duct Condition

If the Flow Sense

LED is turned on, check the

exhaust system for restrictions and damage.

Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.

NOTE

• When the appliance is first installed, this test

should be performed to alert you to any existing

problems with the exhaust duct in your home.

However, since the test performed during

normal operation provides more accurate

information on the condition of the exhaust duct

than the installation test, the results during the

two tests may not be the same.

• Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could

result in inaccurate results.

• Even if the LED doesn't light up during the test

cycle, some restrictions may still be present in

the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the

Dryer section of this manual for complete

exhaust system and venting requirements.

lint from the last load. This will help ensure

the fastest and most efficient drying

performance. Make sure to reinstall the

filter, pressing down until it clicks firmly into

place.

2 Load the Dryer

• Make sure that clothing is pushed entirely

into the drum and away from the door seal

area. Clothing that gets stuck between the

door and seal may be damaged or damage

the seal.

• If the load is extra large, you may need to

divide it into smaller loads for proper

performance and fabric care.

• All strings and attached belts of clothes

should be well tied and secured before

being put into the drum.

3 Turn on the Dryer

• Press the Power button to turn on the

dryer. The display will turn on and a chime

will sound.

4 Select a Cycle

• Turn the cycle selector knob until the

desired cycle is selected. The preset

temperature, dry level, and option settings

for that cycle will be shown.

•Press the Start/Pause button to begin the

cycle. The cycle can be paused at any time

either by opening the door or by pressing

the Start/Pause button.

•If the Start/Pause button is not pressed

within a certain time, the dryer shuts off

and all settings are lost.

7 End of Cycle

• When the cycle is finished, the chime will

sound. Immediately remove your clothing

from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If

Wrinkle Care is selected, the dryer will

tumble briefly every few minutes to help

prevent wrinkles from setting in the clothes.

Check the Lint Filter Before Every

Load

Always make sure the lint filter a is clean before

starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will

increase drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter

straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your

fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place.

See Regular Cleaning for more information.

Always ensure that the lint filter is properly

installed before running the dryer. Running the

dryer with a loose or missing lint filter will damage

the dryer and articles in the dryer.

29OPERATION

ENGLISH

Loading the Dryer

NOTE

• For the best drying performance and most

efficient energy usage, do not overload the

appliance.

General Tips

• Combine large and small items in the same load.

• Use mesh laundry bags to separate clothes with

zippers, hooks, straps, and drawstrings to

prevent them from catching on or tangling with

other clothes or damaging the lint filter.

NOTE

• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not

overload the dryer; clothes require room to

tumble and dry properly.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best drying results, and to reduce the

possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothes into

loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle.

Different fabrics have different care requirements,

and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.

Woolen Items

• Always follow fabric care labels before drying

woolen items in a dryer. After the cycle, the

items may still be damp. Do not repeat the cycle.

Pull the items to their original shape if needed

and lay them flat to finish drying.

Woven and Loopknit Materials

• Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink,

depending on quality.

Permanent Press and Synthetics

• Do not overload your dryer. Take out permanent

press items as soon as the dryer stops to reduce

wrinkles.

Baby Clothes and Nightgowns

• Always check the manufacturer’s instructions.

Rubber and Plastics

• Do not dry any items made from or containing

rubber or plastics such as:

- Aprons, bibs and chair covers

- Curtains and tablecloths

- Bath mats

Fiberglass

• Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Glass

particles left in the dryer could be picked up by

your clothes the next time you use the dryer and

irritate your skin.

Fabric Care Labels

• Sort and dry laundry according to care labels,

size, and fabric type. Do not overload the dryer.

This will save energy and time and give the best

drying performance.

• Do not use the appliance until the exhaust system has been cleaned and/or repaired.

Using the appliance with severely restricted exhaust is dangerous and could result in a fire

or other property damage.

• Check the outside dryer vent while the appliance is operating to make sure there is strong

airflow. If the exhaust system is extremly long, have it repaired or rerouted.

House exhaust system blocked.

• Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter. Check vent hood for damage or

lint clogging. Make sure the area around the vent hood is clear.

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

Flow Sense

indicator shows four

bars during the

drying cycle.

Exhaust system is too long or has too many turns/restrictions.

• Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation instructions for details.

Partial blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup or other foreign object.

• Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. The appliance can be used in this

condition, but drying times will be longer and energy consumption will increase.

The appliance has detected a restriction in the external dryer venting.

• If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the Flow Sense

system, the indicator will remain on

for 2 hours after the end of the cycle. Opening the door or pressing the Power button will

turn off the display.

The Flow Sense

indicator remains

active after clearing

the restriction in the

venting.

After clearing the restrictions, the Flow Sense

system requires multiple, consecutive

cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow Sense

indicator is reset.

•If the Flow Sense

indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction

has been cleared, call for service.

The appliance will

not turn on.

Power cord is not properly plugged in.

• Make sure that the power plug is securely plugged into a grounded outlet matching the

appliance's rating plate.

House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a

circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

51TROUBLESHOOTING

ENGLISH

The appliance does

not heat.

House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a

circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

Gas supply or service is turned off.

• Confirm that the hose gas shutoff and the shutoff valves of the dryer are both fully open.

Even if gas is not supplied to the appliance, it will run and no error codes will display. Verify

that other gas appliances in the home are working normally.

Energy Saver option is selected.

•If using Normal cycle, deselect the energy saver option that is selected by default. This

option reduces energy use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is

normal to feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in Energy Saver mode.

Clothes take too long

to dry.

Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.

• Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and

obstructions. Make sure that the outside wall damper can open properly and is not

blocked, jammed, or damaged.

Load is not properly sorted.

• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry.

Light items in a load with heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry

faster.

Large and heavy fabrics are loaded.

• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help

reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate

these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.

Dryer controls are not set properly.

• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. Some loads may

require an adjustment of the dry level setting for proper drying.

Lint filter needs to be cleaned.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up

to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint,

such as new bath towels, it may be necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during

the cycle.

House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a

circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

The appliance is overloaded.

• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency.

The appliance is underloaded.

• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumble action. If

the load is small and you are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the electronic control cannot

properly sense the dryness of the load and may shut off too soon. Use MANUAL DRY

cycles or add some extra wet clothes to the load.

Energy Saver option is selected. (on some models)

•If using Normal cycle, deselect the energy saver option that is selected by default. This

option reduces energy use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is

normal to feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in Energy Saver mode.

Drying time is not

consistent.

Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.

• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the size of the load, the type of fabrics,

the wetness of the clothes and the condition of the lint filter. Even an unbalanced load in

the washer can cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to

dry.

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

52 TROUBLESHOOTING

Performance

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

Clothes are wrinkled. Clothes dried too long (overdried).

• Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or use

a lower dry level setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of

moisture.

Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.

• Use the Wrinkle Care option. This option will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes

for up to 3 hours to help prevent wrinkling.

Greasy or dirty spots

on clothes.

Fabric softener used incorrectly.

• Check and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.

Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.

• Only use your dryer to dry clean items. Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the clean

clothes in the same or later loads.

Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being placed in the dryer.

• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not removed during the washing process.

Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to the

instructions for your washer and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating

prior to washing.

Clothes are

shrinking.

Garment care instructions are not being followed.

• To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and follow fabric care instructions. Some

fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink

when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting.

Lint on clothes. Lint filter not cleaned properly.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up

to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions in

the MAINTENANCE section. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be

necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.

Laundry not sorted properly.

• Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried

separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).

Excess static in clothes.

• Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s

instructions. Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity.

• Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time.

The appliance is overloaded.

• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.

Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.

• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.

Excess static in

clothes after drying.

Fabric softener is not used or is used incorrectly.

• Use a fabric softener or the Low Static option, if available, to reduce static electricity. Be

sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Clothes dried too long (overdried).

• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and

use a shorter drying time. Select a lower dry level setting on the selected cycle, if

necessary.

Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.

• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use a

lower dry level setting and/or shorter time settings.

spots after drying.

Very large load or very small load. Single large item such as a blanket or comforter.

• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble reading the

dryness level of the load. Use a Timed Dry cycle for very small loads.

• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a

tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the inner

core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once

or twice and rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.

• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp spots on a large

item after a sensor cycle has completed, empty the lint trap, and then set a Timed Dry

cycle to finish drying the item(s).

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

Water drips from

nozzle when steam

cycle starts.

This is normal.

• This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.

Garments still

wrinkled after Steam

Fresh

Too many or overly different types of garments in dryer.

• Small loads of 1 to 5 items work best. Load fewer garments. Load similar types of

garments.

Creases or pleats are

gone from garments

after Steam Fresh

The function of this cycle is to remove wrinkles from fabric.

• Use an iron to replace creases and pleats in garments.

Garments have static

after using the Low

Static option.

This is normal.

• The amount of static experienced will depend on the individual moisture level in the skin.

Steam does not

generate, but no

error code is shown.

Water level error.

• Unplug dryer and call for service.

Water drips from

door during steam

cycle.

This is normal.

• Condensation will normally form on the inside of the dryer door during steam operation.

Some condensation may drip out the bottom of the door.

Steam is not visible

during steam cycle.

This is normal.

• Steam vapor is difficult to see when the door is closed. However, condensation will

normally form on the inside of the dryer door if the steam system is operating normally.

Drum does not turn

during steam cycle.

This is normal.

• The drum is turned off so that the steam vapor remains in the drum. The drum will

normally turn for about 2 seconds once a minute.

Cannot see steam

vapor at the

beginning of cycle.

This is normal.

• Steam is released at different stages of the cycle for each option.

Odors remain in

clothing after Steam

Fresh

Steam Fresh

did not remove odor completely.

• Fabrics containing strong odors should be washed in a normal cycle.

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

54 TROUBLESHOOTING

Odors

Wi-Fi

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

The appliance has an

unpleasant odor.

Are you using the appliance for the first time?

• The odor is caused by the rubber material inside the appliance. The odor is normal when

the appliance is new and disappears after you run several cycles.

Do you smell an odor during use?

• Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent when washing

clothes. Excess detergent can build up on clothing and cause odors.

• Leaving clothes in the washer or dryer after the cycle ends can lead to odors. Unload

clothing promptly when the cycle ends.

• Keep lint filters clean. Clogged or dirty lint filters can cause odors. After cleaning the lint

filter, allow it to dry completely before using it.

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

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:

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

58 WARRANTY

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 [email protected], 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.
