ENGLISH
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
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
background
38 LIMITED WARRANTY
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://
www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair-continued and clicking on “Find My Model & Serial
Number”).
You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail
or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure.
Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any
way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and
do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.

OPERATION
Charging the Battery
Before Charging the Battery
Make sure that the adapter is connected to both
the charging station and the power outlet.
Fully charging a single battery usually takes
about 4 hours. It will take twice as long to charge
both the main and auxiliary batteries.
The battery will not be charged if the indoor
temperature is below 41 °F (5°C). Only charge
the battery when indoor temperatures are
between 41 °F (5°C) and 100 °F (38 °C).
The battery will eventually need to be replaced.
Due to the battery characteristics, runtime is
shortened after using the appliance repeatedly
for an extended period.
The last bar on the battery indicator begins to
blink when the battery needs to be recharged.
Use the appliance with a fully charged battery.
If the main battery is charging on the charging
station, the auxiliary battery will only start
charging once the main battery is fully charged.
To maintain battery life on dual-battery models,
swap the positions of the two batteries
periodically, between the main body and the
auxiliary charging station.
Charging the Product Body
Storing the appliance on the charging station
automatically recharges the battery.
1 Press the Power button to turn the appliance
off.
2 Put the product body onto the charging
station by aligning it to the hook a of the
charging station.
Make the extension pipe its shortest length
and insert it into the appliance.
The appliance cannot be loaded onto the
charging station if either the combination
tool or the crevice tool is inserted. Use the
charging station only after removing the
combination tool or the crevice tool, if
either happens to be fitted.
If you don't hear a beep, reload the
appliance on the charging station, making
sure the nozzle is horizontal.
When charging is complete, the battery
level indicator (
@) lights up briefly and then
turns off to save energy.
To save energy while charging the product
body, press the Select Mode button to
switch to the manual dust emptying mode.
WARNING
Make sure to securely fit the product body onto
the charging station. If the appliance falls off the
charging station, it could cause injuries, property
damage or product damage.
Charging the Auxiliary Battery
After the vacuum cleaner has finished charging,
the auxiliary battery will start charging.
One or two batteries are provided. The number of
batteries varies depending on the model
purchased.
1 Lift the front of the control panel located at
the top of the charging station.
2 To insert, align the battery with the outline of
the battery charger.

WARNING
Do not wash the vacuum cleaner body or the
inlet with water. If water enters the built-in
motor, it can cause electric shock or fire.
CAUTION
Do not forcibly remove the vacuum cleaner
during the dust emptying operation. Because
the vacuum cleaner is mounted, the product
may break or fall, causing injury or product
damage.
- Remove the vacuum cleaner after the dust
emptying (replace bag) icon in the status
display is turned off completely.
Do not put foreign objects such as hands,
garbage, or toys in the dust suction area of the
product without a vacuum cleaner mounted.
Do not push, pull, or lean on the product; it may
fall, causing injury or damage.
Do not put objects like smartphones on the
product's control panel. The product may
malfunction due to vibration, or the object may
fall to the floor, causing injury or damage.
If the power suddenly turns off during the dust
emptying operation, the vacuum cleaner is
mounted and cannot be removed. Causes for
power loss include a power outage, a turned off
power strip, an unplugged power cord, and a
tripped circuit breaker.
After the power comes back on, remove the
vacuum cleaner when the settings on the
vacuum cleaner mounting unit are reset.
NOTE
The sound of the high-performance motor may
be louder than the existing wireless vacuum
cleaner. It is normal to hear sounds such as the
vacuum cleaner, dust bin cover opening, product
operating unit, and suction.
The vacuum cleaner mounting unit of the
charging station is cleaned with a stronger
suction force just before the dust emptying
operation is over. The sound may increase, but
this is normal and not a fault.
During the dust emptying operation, the product
and auxiliary battery are not charged for safety
reasons.
For best results in areas with extra hair or pet
dander, empty the vacuum dust bin more often
during cleaning.
Replace the dust bag every month to maintain
the dust emptying performance. The
replacement cycle may vary depending on the
environment, and may be especially short in
conditions with a lot of dust or pet hair.
The dust bin may not be emptied completely
under certain conditions (very full, contains long
hairs, etc.). If this happens, press Start/Stop to
repeat the emptying process.
Clean the dust bin's inside, the easy dust
emptying lever and the large dust separator to
remove remaining dust. For more information,
see the vacuum cleaner owner's manual.
