constructed of a minimum of 2" x 4" wood
studding and 3/8" thick drywall or plaster/lath.
• Attach the 2 lag screws supporting the oven to a
vertical, 2" x 4" wall stud.
• DO NOT mount the microwave oven to an island
or peninsula cabinet.
• Be sure that the upper cabinet and rear wall
structures can support 150 lb. plus the weight of
any items you place inside the oven or upper
cabinet.
• Locate the oven away from areas with strong
drafts, such as near windows, doors, and large
heating vents.
• Make sure that you have enough space. See the
clearance diagrams in the installation manual for
the minimum vertical and horizontal clearances.
• Refer to the Installation Instructions for
details.
Electrical Requirements
The oven is designed to operate on a standard 120
V/60 Hz household outlet. Be sure that the circuit is
at least 15 A or 20 A and the microwave oven is the
only appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for
50 Hz or any circuit other than a 120 V/60 Hz
circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting
circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a
licensed electrician.
Voltage Warning
The voltage used at the wall socket must be the
same as specified on the oven name plate located
on the back or on the side of the control panel of
the oven. Using a higher voltage is dangerous and
may result in a fire or other type of accident
causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow
cooking. If the microwave oven does not perform
normally in spite of proper voltage, unplug and
reconnect the power cord.
Do Not Block Air Vents
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If
air vents are covered during oven operation the
oven may overheat. To prevent damage to the
oven, a sensitive safety device detects overheating
and automatically turns the oven off. The oven
cannot be used until it has cooled sufficiently.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service person if
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
- Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near
the appliance.
• Ensure that the product is properly grounded
before use.
• Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not
pinch or crush it in any way.
• For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or
an equipment grounding conductor should be
run with the circuit conductors and connected to
the equipment grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
WARNING
• Improper use of the grounding can result in a
risk of electric shock.
• Do not use extension cord. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
service man install an outlet near the appliance.
• A short power supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
NOTE
• Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it
has a short power supply cord. See the separate
installation instructions for directions on
properly placing the cord.

Operating the Oven
Convection Bake Mode
The Convection Bake function uses a heating
element to raise the temperature of the air inside
the oven. The convection cooking temperature
ranges from 250 ℉ to 450 ℉. It is best to preheat
the oven when convection cooking.
NOTE
• Reduce oven temperature by 25 ℉ from the
temperature recommended on packaged foods.
The baking time may vary according to the food
condition or individual preference.
Setting the Convection Bake Function
Example: 45 minutes at 375 ℉ with
preheating
1 Press Conv. Bake. 350 ℉ appears in the
display.

•When the cook time ends, a melody sounds
and COOK END appears in the display.
NOTE
• When the oven reaches the set preheat
temperature, a melody will sound. The oven
automatically holds that temperature for 30
minutes.
• The oven temperature drops very quickly when
the door is opened; however, this should not
prevent food from being fully cooked during
normal cooking time.
• During convection cooking, the vent fan in the
vent hood will automatically turn on at the 1-
speed (lowest speed) setting to protect the oven.
Convection Baking Menu
• Always use the metal rack when convection baking. Place food directly on the rack or in the metal tray on
the rack.
• Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most convection baking, light, shiny finishes give the best
results because they prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. For better
browning on the bottoms of cakes or pies, use dull (satin-finish) pans.
• Dark or non-shiny finishes, glass, and pyroceram absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.
• Preheating the oven is recommended when baking foods using convection.
• To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open the oven door to check food as little as possible.

Cookware Guide
Microwave-Safe Cookware
Use microwavable cookware.
• Ovenproof Glass
- Ovenproof glassware that is treated for high
intensity heat so it is heat-resistant is
microwave-safe.
- Use utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and
bowls without metal rims.
- Do not use delicate glassware, such as
tumblers or wine glasses, as these might
shatter when heated.
• China
- Use bowls, cups, serving plates, pottery,
stoneware, ceramic, and platters without
metal rims or handles. Many containers made
of these materials are microwave-safe, but test
them before use.
• Plastic
- Plastic Storage Containers: Use plastic
dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and
plastic bags only for short cooking times. Do
not use them when cooking food for long
periods or at high power levels, as the hot food
will eventually warp or melt the plastic.
- Plastic wrap (as a cover): Lay the plastic wrap
loosely over the dish and press it to the sides.
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge
slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The
dish should be deep enough so that the plastic
wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats
it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap
touches the food.
- Plastic Cooking Bags: Provided they are
specially made for cooking, cooking bags are
microwave safe. Remember to make a slit in
the bag so that steam can escape. Never use
ordinary plastic bags for cooking in the
microwave oven, as they will melt and rupture.
- Plastic Microwave Cookware: A variety of
shapes and sizes of microwave cookware are
available. You may be able to use items you
already have on hand rather than investing in
new kitchen equipment.
• Paper
- Use paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins, and paper plates with no metal rims
or design. Look for the manufacturer’s label
for use in the microwave oven.
- Paper plates and containers are convenient
and safe to use in the microwave oven,
provided that the cooking time is short and the
foods to be cooked are low in fat and
moisture. Paper towels are also very useful for
wrapping foods and for lining baking trays in
which greasy foods such as bacon are cooked.
- Avoid colored paper products as the color may
run. Do not use recycled paper products in the
microwave oven. They may contain impurities
which could cause arcing or fires when used in
the microwave.
• Tableware
- Many containers made of pottery, stoneware
and ceramic are also microwave-safe. If in
doubt consult the manufacturer’s literature or
perform the microwave test.
- Do not put plates with painted decoration in
the oven, as the paint may contain metal and
cause arcing.
Microwave-Unsafe Cookware
• Metal Containers/Metal Decoration
- Never use metal or metal-rimmed cookware in
the microwave oven.
- Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will
bounce off any metal object in the oven and
us_main.book.book Page 27 Wednesday, December 8, 2021 9:28 AM
28 OPERATION
cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that
resembles lightning.
- Metal shields the food from microwave energy
and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid
metal skewers, thermometers, foil trays,
metal-rimmed or metal-banded dinnerware,
casserole dishes, etc. The metal rim interferes
with normal cooking and may damage the
oven.
• Aluminum Foil
- Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because
they hinder cooking and may cause harmful
arcing.
- Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs
and wings.
- Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from
the side walls and door of the oven.
• Wood
- Wood bowls and boards will dry out and may
split or crack when you use them in the
microwave oven.
- Baskets react in the same way.
• Tightly Covered Cookware
- Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape
from covered containers.
- Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other
food items before cooking.
- Tightly closed pouches could explode.
• Brown Paper
- Avoid using brown paper bags.
- They absorb too much heat and could burn.
• Flawed or Chipped Cookware
- Any container that is cracked, flawed, or
chipped may break in the oven.
• Metal Twist Ties
- Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper
bags.
- They become hot and could cause a fire.
Testing Cookware before Use
Most heat resistant and non-metallic cookware is
safe for use in your oven. However, some
cookware may contain materials that are not
suitable for microwave use. Follow the steps below
to find out if cookware can be used in the
microwave.
1 Place the container in question and a glass
measuring cup filled with water next to each
other inside the oven.
2 Heat the container and glass measuring cup
for 1 minute at HIGH power.
• If the water heats up but the container
remains cool to the touch, the container is
microwave-safe.
• If the temperature of the water does not
change but the container becomes warm, it
is not safe for use in the microwave oven.
CAUTION
• Some items with high lead or iron content are
not suitable for microwave cooking.
• Cookware should be checked to ensure that it is
suitable for use in the microwave.
• Always be careful when taking cookware out of
the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the
cooked food and may be hot.
Convection Cookware
• Metal pans are recommended for all types of
baked products, but especially where browning
or crusting is important.
• Metal pans with a dark or dull finish are best for
breads and pies because they absorb heat and
produce a crisper crust.
• Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes,
cookies, or muffins because these pans reflect
heat and help produce a light, tender crust.
• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking
dishes are best suited for egg and cheese
recipes because the glass is easy to clean.
Combination Cooking Cookware
• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are
recommended. Be sure not to use items with
metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with
the oven wall or oven shelf, damaging the
cookware, the shelf, or the oven.
• Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe
to 450°F) may be used, but is not recommended
for foods that require crusting or all-around
browning, because plastic is a poor conductor of
heat.
Cooking Guide
Cooking Tips
Carefully monitor the food in the microwave oven
while it is cooking. Directions given in recipes to
us_main.book.book Page 28 Wednesday, December 8, 2021 9:28 AM
29OPERATION
ENGLISH
elevate, stir, etc., are the minimum steps
recommended. If food is overcooked (dry),
undercooked, or unevenly cooked, make
adjustments before or during cooking to correct
the problem.
• Overcooked or Dry Food
- Sprinkling: Sprinkle low-moisture foods such
as roasts and vegetables with water before
cooking, or cover them to retain moisture.
- Density: Light, porous food such as cakes and
breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense
foods such as roasts and casseroles.
- Shielding: Cover the corners of square dishes
with small strips of aluminum foil to prevent
overcooking. Don’t use too much foil, and
secure the foil to the dish. Foil can cause
arcing if it gets too close to the oven walls
during cooking.
- Bones and Fat: Bones conduct heat, and fat
cooks more quickly than meat. Take care with
bony or fatty cuts of meat.
• Undercooked Food
- Covering: Cover food with a microwave-safe
lid, parchment paper (not waxed paper), or
plastic wrap to trap heat and steam and cook
food more quickly.
- Standing Time: Let food stand for several
minutes after being removed from the oven to
allow it to finish cooking and help flavors blend
and develop.
- Quantity: The more food you place in the
oven, the longer the required cooking time.
- Temperature: Ice-cold ingredients take much
longer to cook than room temperature
ingredients.
• Unevenly Cooked Food
- Stirring: Stir food from the outside toward the
center during cooking, as food at the outside
of the dish heats more quickly.
- Arranging: Turn food over several times
during cooking. The upper portion of thick
foods cooks more quickly than the lower
portion.
- Shaping: Place the thickest portions of foods
like meat, poultry or fish toward the outside of
the cookware to help them cook more evenly.
If possible, shape foods into thin rounds or
rings.
• Foods with Skin, Shell or Membrane
- Skin or Membrane: Pierce the outsides of
foods like potatoes, sausages, or egg whites or
yolks before cooking.
- Shell: Pierce or remove the shells from eggs,
clams, oysters, or other shelled foods before
cooking.
• Defrosting Tips
- Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from
its original wrapping paper or plastic package.
Otherwise, the wrap close to the foods will
hold steam and heat, which can cause the
outer surface of the foods to be cooked.
- Remove any metal twist ties.
- Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or
packaging.
- Open containers such as cartons before they
are placed in the oven.
- If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place
the food in a suitable container.
- The length of defrosting time varies
depending on the shape of the food and on
how solidly the food is frozen.
- As food begins to defrost, separate the food
into pieces so that they can defrost more
easily.
- Turn over food during defrosting or standing
time. Separate into pieces and remove food as
required.
- Let food stand after defrosting. Food should
still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven.
- When using Defrost, the weight to be entered
is the net weight in pounds and tenths of
pounds (the weight of the food minus the
container).
- Slit the skins of frozen food such as sausage.
- Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
- Place food in a shallow container or in a
microwave roasting dish to catch the
drippings.
- Always underestimate defrosting time. Food
should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven. If defrosted
food is still frozen solid in the center, return it
to the microwave oven for more defrosting.
- Depending on the shape of the food, some
areas may defrost more quickly than others.
- The shape of the package affects how quickly
food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost
more quickly than a deep block.
- For best results, shape ground meat into the
form of a doughnut before freezing. When
defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the
beep sounds and continue defrosting.
us_main.book.book Page 29 Wednesday, December 8, 2021 9:28 AM
30 OPERATION
- Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield
parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips,
fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make
sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or
bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the
oven lining.
Convection Cooking Tips
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the
oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air
surrounds the food to heat the outer portion
quickly, creating even browning and sealed-in
flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the
food surfaces. Press the Convection button to use
the convection functions on the oven. Do not use
the oven without the turntable in place.
NOTE
• Always use the metal rack on the turntable when
convection cooking.
• Do not cover the turntable or metal rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air
that cooks the food.
• Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils
for many convection-only items. Choose pans
that do not have extended handles.
• Use convection cooking for items like soufflés,
breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and
some meat and fish dishes.
• Your oven comes equipped with a metal tray
which can be used for cooking in convection
mode or combination mode.
• You do not need to use any special techniques to
adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection
cooking, but you do need to lower the oven
temperature by 25 ℉ from the temperature
recommended on the packaging when cooking
prepared foods.
• When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or
other baked foods, most recipes call for
preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you
do a regular oven. You can start cooking more
dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and
poultry without preheating.
• All heatproof cookware or metal accessories can
be used in convection cooking.
• Use the metal accessories only for convection
cooking. Never use for microwave or
combination cooking since arcing and damage
to the oven may occur.
• After preheating, if you do not open the door,
the oven will automatically hold at the preheated
temperature for 30 minutes.
PRECAUTIONS
• The oven cavity, door, turntable, roller rest,
metal tray, metal rack, and cooking accessories
will become very hot. Use oven mitts when
removing the food, cooking accessories, metal
rack, metal tray, and turntable from the oven
after convection cooking.
• Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic
wraps, or paper products during any convection
cycle.
Combination Cooking Tips
Combination microwave-convection cooking
shortens the cooking time for foods that would
usually take a long time to cook. It leaves meats
crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. In
combination cooking, the convection heat and
microwave energy alternate automatically.
NOTE
• Meats may be roasted directly on the metal rack
or in a shallow roasting pan placed on the rack.
Check the Cooking Guide for instructions on
using the metal rack.
• Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.
• When baking, check for doneness after cooking
time is up. If not completely done, let stand in
oven for a few minutes to complete cooking.
Precautions
• All cookware used for combination cooking must
be both microwave-safe and oven-safe.
• During combination baking, some baking
cookware may cause arcing when it comes in
contact with the oven walls or metal accessory
racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that
occurs when microwaves come in contact with
metal.
- If arcing occurs, immediately stop the cooking
cycle and place a heat resistant dish between
the pan and the metal rack.
- For best results, use the metal tray supplied
with your oven.
- If arcing occurs with other baking cookware,
do not use it for combination cooking.

door and wipe out crumbs between the door
and the frame.
2 Remove greasy spatters with a soapy cloth
then rinse and dry.
• Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper
towel, especially after cooking chicken or
bacon.
• If steam accumulates inside or outside of
the oven door, wipe the panels with a soft
cloth.
• For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the
oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Steam will soften
the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven,
boil a cup of water with some lemon juice or
vinegar in it.
Cleaning the Exterior
1 Clean the outside of the oven with soap and
water.
2 Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft
cloth or paper towel.
• To prevent damage to the internal working
parts of the oven, do not allow water to
seep into the ventilation openings.
• The door and door seals should be kept
clean. Use warm, soapy water to clean.
Rinse off soap residue and dry thoroughly.
• Frequently wipe metal parts with a damp
cloth.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the oven be damaged if it operates while empty?
A: Yes. Never operate the oven while it is empty or without the glass tray.
Q: Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
A: No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light
to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.
Q: Why do I see a light reflection around the outer case?
A: This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the
oven.
Q: What are the various sounds I hear when the oven is operating?
A: The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave oven's magnetron ON
and OFF.
The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and
OFF by a mechanical switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by
the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.
Q: Can my oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long?
A: Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates
smoke and even possibly fire, and damages the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the
oven while you are cooking.
Q: Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?
A: Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave
oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.
Q: Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?
A: As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more
time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature.
Q: Sometimes the door of my oven appears wavy. Is this normal?
A: This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.
Q: Why does the glass tray not move?
A: The correct side of the tray should be facing up and the tray should sit firmly on the center hub. The
support is not operating correctly. Reinstall the glass tray and restart the oven. Cooking without the
glass tray can give you poor results.
Q: Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should not
happen.
A: As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after
cooking.
Q: What does standing time mean?
A: Standing time means that food should be taken out of the oven and covered for additional time after
cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish, saves energy, and frees the oven for other
purposes.

37TROUBLESHOOTING
ENGLISH
Q: Can I pop popcorn in my oven? How do I get the best results?
A: Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s guidelines or use the
preprogrammed Popcorn button.
Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening test by stopping the oven as soon as the popping
slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use
special microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not
pop popcorn in glass utensils.
Q: Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
A: Steam is normally produced during cooking. The oven has been designed to vent steam out of the
vent.
Q: During convection cooking the fan stops when I open the door. Is that normal?
A: Yes, this is normal. When the door is opened, the convection fan will stop until the door is closed.
Q: Why aren't the function buttons working?
A: Make sure that the oven is not in Control Lock mode. The LOCKED will show in the display if Control
Lock is activated. To deactivate Control Lock, press and hold STOP/Clear for three seconds.

connect the appliance to the wireless router. To check the router frequency, check with
your Internet service provider or the router manufacturer.
The appliance is too far from the router.
• 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).

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 Ave, 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

location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or
we agree to a telephonic arbitration.
