objects can become hot and cause burns.
• Do not place any object on or near the display area in order to prevent accidental activation of the
cooktop controls.
• Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
cookware, the handles of cookware should be positioned so that they are turned inward, and do not
extend over adjacent surface units.
• 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.
5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
• 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 instructions for cleaning.
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.
• 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 food-
borne 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.
7IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls 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

18 OPERATION
OPERATION
Cookware
Selecting Cookware
Pots and Pans
The better the pot, the better the cooking results.
• You can recognize good pots and pans by their
bases. The base should be as thick and flat as
possible.
• Pots with aluminum or copper bases can cause
metallic discoloring on the ceramic glass surface
which is very difficult or impossible to remove.
• Be very careful when using cast iron pots or pots
with damaged bases which are rough and or
have burrs on them. Scratches can occur if they
are slid across the surface.
• When cold, pot bases are normally bowed
slightly inwards (concave). They should never be
bowed outwards (convex).
• When using specialty cookware such as pressure
cookers, simmering pans, or woks, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and do not use a
very thin pan.
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.
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 (for
example, after washing vegetables) which are
dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.
Using Cookware
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 element to the amount
of food being prepared.
Tips for Saving Energy
• Always position pots and pans before you switch
on the element.
• Dirty elements and cookware use more
electricity.
• Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly
placed on the pots and pans so that they are
completely covered.
• Switch off the elements before the end of the
cooking time to use the residual heat for
keeping food warm or for melting.
19OPERATION
ENGLISH
• The base of the pot should be the same size as
the element.
• Using a pressure cooker shortens cooking times
by up to 50%.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND
NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH
WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., its
parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries,
predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include
any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute,
regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or
relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify
LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG
Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632.
You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The
notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of
32 LIMITED WARRANTY
the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to
resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during
the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us
only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute
between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or
entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you
and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of
arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court
action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written
demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that
are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the
procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a
copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner
described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics,
USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a
conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will
govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on
the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide,
except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the
arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this
provision.
Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any
disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable
federal law.
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand
for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000
in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as
otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any
arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the
arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering
factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator
can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your
claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by
the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will
be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously
disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise
provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails
in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration
conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic
hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the
right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a
location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or
we agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can
require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no
later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by
either: (i) sending an e-mail to opto[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://
