Amount of Food
• If you increase or decrease
the amount of food you
prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also
change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a
little more than half the original cooking time. Check
for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small
increments.
Starting Temperature of Food
• The lower the temperature
of the food being put into
the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food
at room temperature reheats more quickly than food
at refrigerator temperature.
Composition of Food
• Food with a lot of fat and sugar
heats faster than
food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar also
reach a higher temperature than water during the
cooking process.
• The more dense the food,
the longer it takes to
heat. Very dense food like meat takes longer to heat
than lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.
Size and Shape
• Smaller pieces of food
cook faster than larger
pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more evenly
than different-shaped pieces.
• With foods that have different thicknesses,
the
thinner parts cook faster than the thicker parts Place
the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the
center of the dish.
Stirring and Turning Foods
• Stirring and turning foods
spreads heat quickly to
the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the
outer edges of the food.
Covering Food
Cover food to:
• reduce
splattering
• shorten
cooking times
• keep
food moist
Releasing Pressure in Foods
• Several foods
(for example: baked potatoes,
sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly
covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up
under the membrane during cooking, causing the
food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent
bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a
fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.
Using Standing Time
• Always allow food to stand
either in or out of
the oven after cooking power stops. Standing time
after defrosting and cooking allows the temperature
to evenly spread throughout the food, improving
the cooking results. For inside oven standing time,
program a 0 power second stage of the cooking cycle.
See Cooking with More than One Cook Cycle.
• The length of the standing time
depends on how
much food you are cooking and how dense it is.
Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you
to remove the food from the oven and take it to the
serving table. However, with larger, denser food items,
the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.
Arranging Food
For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You
can do this in several ways:
• If you are cooking several items of the same food,
such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern
for uniform cooking.
• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or
thickness, such as chicken breasts,
place the
smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center
of the dish where it will be heated last.
• Layer thin slices of meat
on top of each other.
• When you cook or reheat whole sh, score
the
skin to prevent cracking.
• Do not
let food or a container touch the top or sides
of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Using Aluminum Foil
Metal containers should not be used in a microwave
oven. However, if you have purchased food which is
prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the
instructions on the package. When using aluminum
foil containers, cooking times may be longer because
microwaves will only penetrate the exposed top of the
food and not the bottom or the sides. If using aluminum
containers without package instructions, follow these
guidelines:
• Place
the
aluminum foil container in a glass bowl and
add water so that it covers the bottom of the container,
but not more than ¼ in. (.64 cm) deep. This ensures
even heating of the container bottom.
• Always remove
the container lid to avoid damage to
the oven.
• Use only
undamaged containers.
• Do not use
containers taller than ¾ in. (1.9 cm).
• Container must be
at least half lled.
• To avoid arcing,
there must be a minimum ¼ in.(.64
cm) between the aluminum container and the walls of
the oven and also between two aluminum containers.
• Always place
the container on the turntable.
• Shield
parts of food that may cook quickly, such as
wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with small pieces of
aluminum foil.
• Heating food
in aluminum foil containers usually
takes up to double the time compared to reheating in
plastic, glass, china, or paper containers.
The cooking time will vary depending upon the type of
container you use.
• Let food stand
for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so
that heat is spread evenly throughout the container.
Do Not Can or Sterilize in Oven
• Do not
try to can food in the oven. Closed glass jars
may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.
• Do not
use the microwave oven to sterilize objects
(baby bottles, etc.). It is difcult to keep the oven at
the high temperature needed for sterilization.
Removing the Rack
• When popping commercially packaged popcorn,
remove the rack and drip pan from the oven.
Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the
rack or under the rack. Leave the glass tray in place at
all times.
CAUTION
:
Popping microwave popcorn with rack
and drip pan in place can cause re or
damage to the microwave oven.

Cooking Comparison Guide
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety
of food preparation options: microwave cooking,
convection cooking, and combination cooking.
Microwave cooking
uses very short, high-frequency
radio waves. The movement of the microwaves
through the food generates heat and cooks most
foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their
natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats
food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the
oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly
convenient because less time is spent in food
preparation.
Convection cooking
constantly circulates heated air
around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in
avor by the constant motion of hot air over the food
surfaces.
Combination cooking
combines microwave energy
with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while
browning and crisping to perfection.
Timed cooking can be set with microwave cooking,
convection cooking, and combination cooking. Preset
the desired length of cooking time and the oven turns
off automatically.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
MICROWAVE CONVECTION COMBINATION
COOKING
METHOD
Microwave energy is
distributed evenly
throughout the oven for
fast, thorough cooking of
food.
Hot air circulates around
food to produce browned
exteriors and sealed-in
juices.
Microwave energy and
convection heat combine
to shorten the cooking
time of regular ovens,
while browning and
sealing in juices.
HEAT SOURCE
Microwave energy. Circulating heated air. Microwave energy and
circulating heated air.
BENEFITS
• Fast, high efciency
cooking.
• Oven and surroundings
do not get hot.
• Easy clean-up
• Aids in browning and
seals in avor.
• Cooks some foods faster
than regular ovens.
• Shortened cooking time
from microwave energy.
• Browning and crisping
from convection heat.

COOKWARE GUIDE
Microwave Cooking
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for
use in the microwave oven.
Testing Cookware Before Using
1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup
and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is
warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.
Convection Cooking
• Metal pans are recommended for all types of baked
products, but especially where browning or crusting is
important.
• Dark or dull nish metal pans are best for breads and
pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper
crust.
• Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies,
or mufns because these pans reect heat and help
produce a light, tender crust.
• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes
are best suited for egg and cheese recipes to provide
easy cleanup.
Combination Cooking
• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are
recommended. Do not use items with metal trim as
they may cause arcing (sparking) with 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.

OPERATION
SENSOR OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook cooks favorite foods without selecting
cooking times and power levels.
The oven automatically determines required cooking
time for each food item. When the internal sensor
detects a certain amount of humidity coming from
the food, it tells the oven how much longer to heat.
The display shows the remaining heating time. For
best results when sensor cooking, follow these
recommendations.
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
2. The glass tray and the outside of the container
should be dry to assure best cooking results.
3. Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
4. Do not open the door or touch
STOP/CLEAR
during
the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the
oven beeps and the remaining cooking time will
appear in the display window.
At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or
rearrange the food.
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good
sensor cooking results.
1. Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
3. Match the amount to the size of the container.
Fill containers at least half full for best results.
4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the
inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing
food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into
steam can mislead the sensor.

OPERATION
TIPS FOR CONVECTION
COOKING
This section provides cooking instructions and
procedures for each convection function.
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 avor through
the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.
To use convection cooking, turn the dial to select the
Convection or Combination modes.
DO NOT USE THE
OVEN WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN PLACE.
1.
Always use the metal rack
on the turntable when
convection cooking.
2.
Do not cover
the turntable or metal rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with the ow of a
4.
Use convection cooking
for items like soufés,
breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for
some meat and sh.
5.
The oven comes
equipped with a metal tray which
can be used for cooking in convection mode or
combination mode.
6.
No special techniques are necessary
to adapt
favorite oven recipes to convection cooking; but
reduce the oven temperature by 25°F from the
recommended temperature when cooking packaged
foods in convection mode.
7.
When baking
cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or
other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating.
Preheat the empty oven just as with a regular oven.
You can start heavier dense foods such as meats,
casseroles, and poultry without preheating.
8.
All heatproof
cookware or metal utensils can be
used in convection cooking.
9.
As in conventional cooking,
the distance of the
food from the heat source affects cooking results.
Refer to the charts in this owner's manual.
10.
Use metal utensils
only for convection cooking.
Never use for microwave or combination cooking
since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.
11.
After preheating,
if the door remains closed,
the oven automatically holds at the preheated
temperature for 30 minutes.
PRECAUTIONS
• The oven cavity, door, turntable, roller rest, metal tray,
metal rack, and cooking utensils become very hot.
USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food,
cooking utensils, 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.
- 23 -
OPERATION
CONVECTION
During convection cooking, a heating element is used
to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven.
Convection cooking temperature ranges from 100°F to
450°F.
It is best to preheat the oven when convection cooking.
Note: Reduce oven temperature by 25°F from the
temperature recommended on packaged foods.
The baking time may vary according to the food
condition or individual preference.
Notes:
• When the oven reaches the set preheat temperature,
a melody will sound and the display scrolls the
message
PREHEAT END
. 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 automatically turns on at the 1-speed (lowest
speed) setting to protect the oven.
Note:
The temperature range has 10 steps from 100°F
to 450°F.
Example: To set for convection cooking at 325°F for
45 minutes with preheating.

TIPS FOR COMBINATION
COOKING
This section provides instructions for each combination
cooking function. Combination microwave-convection
cooking shortens the cooking time for foods that
normally need a long time to cook. It also leaves
meat juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
In combination cooking, the convection heat and
microwave energy alternate automatically. The oven
has three preprogrammed settings that make it easy to
use combination cooking.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR
COMBINATION COOKING
1.
Meats
can be roasted directly on the metal rack or
in a shallow roasting pan placed on the rack. When
using the metal rack, check the cooking guide for
information on proper use.
2.
Less tender
cuts of beef can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.
3.
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
1. All cookware used for combination cooking must be
BOTH microwave-safe and oven-safe.
2. 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.
- Use the metal tray supplied with the oven. It has
rubber feet that help prevent arcing.
- If arcing occurs with other baking cookware, do not
use them for combination cooking.
COMBINATION ROAST
Notes:
• The temperature range has 9 steps from 250°F to
450°F.
• During combination cooking, the exhaust fan in the
vent hood automatically turns on at the 1-speed
(lowest) setting to protect the oven.

OPERATING TIPS
• For best results, remove sh, shellsh, meat, and
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic
package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold
steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause
the outer surface of the foods to cook.
• For best results, shape the ground meat into the
form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,
scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and
continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave
roasting rack to catch drippings.
• For more defrost help, read Defrosting Tips following
the Auto Defrost Table.
For best results, loosen or remove coverings on food.

Note:

DEFROSTING TIPS
• When using
Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered
is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the
weight of the food minus the container).
• Before starting,
remove the metal twist-ties which
often come with frozen food bags, and replace them
with strings or elastic bands.
• Open containers
such as cartons before they are
placed in the oven.
• Always slit
or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped,
remove foil and place the
food in a suitable container.
• Slit
the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.
• Bend
plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
• Always underestimate
defrosting time. If defrosted
food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave
oven for more defrosting.
• The length
of defrosting time varies according to how
solidly the food is frozen.
• The shape of the package
affects how quickly
food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost,
separate the pieces
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil
to shield parts
of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, sh 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.
• For better results,
let food stand after defrosting.
(For more information on standing time, see the
Microwave Cooking Tips
section.)
• Turn over
food during defrosting or standing time
Break apart and remove food as required.
- 32 -
1. Always use the metal rack when convection baking.
Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray and
then place tray on rack.
2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most
convection baking, light, shiny nishes give best
results because they prevent overbrowning in the
time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull
(satin-nish) bottoms are recommended for cake
pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.
3. Dark or non-shiny nishes, glass, and pyroceramic
absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.
4. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking
foods by convection.
5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open
the oven door to check food as seldom as possible.

HEATING/REHEATING GUIDE
To heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, follow these guidelines: Measure the amount of food in order
to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room temperature
food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a
microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwave-safe lid or vented plastic
wrap. Remove the cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked
food.

SMART FEATURES
THE NFC ANTENNA POSITION
When using the Tag On function, position the smart
phone so that the NFC antenna inside the back of the
smart phone matches the position of the Tag On icon
on the appliance. (The position of the antenna cannot
be seen, so the SmartThinQ app will attempt to nd it
and display a target range for the antenna on the smart
phone's screen.)
If the app is not able to show a target range, position
the center back of the smart phone over the Tag On
icon on the appliance. If the connection is not made
immediately, move the smart phone very slightly in a
widening circular motion until the application veries the
connection.
Because of the characteristics of NFC, if the
transmission distance is too far, or if there is a metal
sticker or a thick case on the phone, transmission will
not be good.
Press [
] in the SmartThinQ app for a more detailed
guide on how to use the Tag On function.
USING TAG ON WITH APPS
Touch an LG appliance's Tag On logo with an NFC-equipped smart phone, and the SmartThinQ apps use the Tag

MAINTENANCE
CARING FOR YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN
To make sure the microwave oven looks good and
works well for a long time, maintain it properly. For
proper care, follow these instructions carefully.
For interior surfaces: Wash
often with warm, sudsy water
and a sponge or soft cloth. Use
only mild, nonabrasive soaps
or a mild detergent.
Keep the
areas clean where the door
and oven frame touch when
closed.
Wipe well with a clean cloth.
Over time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the
result of food particles spattering during cooking.
This is normal.
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.
For exterior surfaces and
control panel:
Use a soft cloth
sprayed with glass cleaner.
Apply the glass cleaner to the
soft cloth; do not spray directly
on the oven.
Note: Abrasive cleansers,
steel wool pads, gritty wash
cloths, some paper towels,
etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and
exterior oven surfaces.
To clean the glass tray
and rotating ring,
wash in
mild, sudsy water.
For heavily soiled areas
use a mild cleanser and
scouring sponge.
The glass tray and rotating
ring are dishwasher safe.

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
USE DO NOT USE
OVENPROOF GLASS
(treated for high intensity heat):
utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles
and bowls without metallic trim.
CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters
without metallic trim.
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.
Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer
containers and plastic bags
only for
short cooking time. Use these with care
because the plastic may soften from
the heat of the food.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins, and paper plates with no metallic
trim or design. Look for the manufacturer's
label for use in the microwave oven.
Note:
Do not use recycled paper products in the
microwave oven. They sometimes contain
impurities that cause arcing and sparking.
NEVER use paper products in the
convection oven.
METAL UTENSILS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces
uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil
trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage the
microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,
etc. The metal trim 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:
Wooden 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 UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered
utensils. 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 UTENSILS:
Any utensil that is cracked, awed, 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 re.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Check the following list to be sure a service call is
really necessary. A quick reference of this manual as
well as reviewing additional information on items to
check may prevent an unneeded service call.
If nothing on the oven operates:
• check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit
breaker.
• check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit
in house.
• check that controls are set properly.
If the oven interior light does not work
• the light bulb is loose or defective.
If oven will not cook:
• check that control panel was programmed correctly.
• check that door is rmly closed.
• check that Start was pressed.
•
check that timer wasn’t started instead of a cook function.
If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks
too rapidly:
• be sure the Power Level is programmed properly.
If the time of day clock does not always keep
correct time:
• check that the power cord is fully inserted into the
outlet receptacle.
• be sure the oven is the only appliance on the
electrical circuit.
If food cooks unevenly:
• be sure food is evenly shaped.
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.
• check placement of aluminum foil strips used to
prevent overcooking.
If food is undercooked:
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time,
and power levels) were correctly followed.
• be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit.
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.
If food is overcooked:
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, power
level, time, size of dish) were followed.
If arcing (sparks) occur:
• be sure microwavable dishes were used.
• be sure wire twist ties weren’t used.
• be sure oven wasn’t operated when empty.
• make sure metal rack (if used) is properly installed on
4 supports.
If the display shows a time counting down but the
oven is not cooking:
• check that door is rmly closed.
• check that timer wasn’t started instead of a cooking
function.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven to reheat
or cook on two levels at once?
A. Only use the rack that is supplied with your
microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result
in poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may
damage your oven.
Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my
microwave oven?
A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding
(use small, at pieces), and shallow foil trays (if
tray is ¾ inch deep and lled with food to absorb
microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls
or door.
Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?
A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the
operation of your oven.
Q. The glass tray does not move.
A. The glass tray is not correctly in place. It should be
correct-side up and sitting rmly on the center hub.
The support is not operating correctly. Remove 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 nish,
saves energy, and frees the oven for other purposes.
Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preprogrammed
Popcorn key.
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
microwave oven has been designed to vent steam
out of the top vent.

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 1000 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs 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 1000 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 [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.
