5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

Grounding Instructions

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• Have a certified electrician check the wall outlet and wiring for proper grounding.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet. Failure to do so may damage the power cord, resulting in a risk of fire and electric
shock.

Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is combustible.
When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts
of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or
cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of
ignition and air out the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.

In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating
circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the
amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for
every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your
particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an
appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its
temperature. This can increase the running costs
of the unit.

Food Storage Tips

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight
and moisture-proof material unless otherwise
noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer
throughout the refrigerator. For dated products,
check date code to ensure freshness.

• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door
bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or
personal injury if items are removed with
excessive force.

How to Store Food

• Butter or Margarine

- Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed

compartment. When storing an extra supply,
wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.

•Cheese

- Store in original wrapping until used. Once

opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or
aluminum foil.

• Milk

- Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk, place

containers on an interior shelf.

• Eggs

- Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on

door shelf.

•Fruit

- Do not wash or hull fruit until it is ready to be

used. Sort and keep fruit in original container
in a crisper, or store in completely closed
paper bag on refrigerator shelf.

• Leafy Vegetables

- Remove store wrapping, trim or tear off
bruised and discolored areas, wash in cold
water, and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic
container and store in crisper.

• Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)

fresh fish and shellfish the same day
purchased is recommended.

•Leftovers

- Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum
foil, or store in plastic containers with tight
lids.

• Do not store food with high moisture content
towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture
could come into direct contact with the cold air
and freeze.

• Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator.
Vegetables should be washed, and food
packaging should be wiped down to prevent
adjacent foods from being contaminated.

• If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid
place, frequent opening of the door or storing a
lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause
condensation to form. Wipe off the

Cooling

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

Refrigerator is not
cooling or has no
power.

A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Or the appliance is
connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, and the outlet's circuit
breaker has tripped.

• Check the main electrical box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Do not
increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified
electrician.

• Reset the circuit breaker on the GFCI. If the problem persists, contact an electrician.

The refrigerator control is set to OFF (some models).

• Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature
settings.

Appliance was recently installed.

• It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.

Appliance was recently relocated.

• If the appliance was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary
for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.

us_main.book.book Page 23 Tuesday, June 1, 2021 4:42 PM

Problem Possible Cause & Solution

Cooling system runs
too much.

Interior moisture
buildup.

Food is freezing in
the refrigerator
compartment.

Refrigerator section
is too cold.

Appliance is replacing an older model.

• Modern appliance require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient
technology.

Appliance was recently plugged in or power restored.

• The appliance will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.

The door is opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added.

• Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to
run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to
get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy
to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage
Guide.)

Doors are not closed completely.

• Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, the "Doors will not close
correctly or pop open" section in Troubleshooting.

Appliance is installed in a hot location.

• The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70
°F or 21 °C) expect your compressor to run about 40 % to 80 % of the time. Under warmer
conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated
above 110 °F (43 °C).

Condenser / back cover is clogged.

• Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not
remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.

Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.

• When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the
compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To
lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.

Doors are not closed correctly.

• See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section.

Weather is humid.

• Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the compartments when the doors are
opened leading to condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the
home will help to control the amount of moisture that can enter the compartments.

Food is not packaged correctly.

• Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp containers can lead to moisture
accumulation within each compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store food in sealed
packaging to prevent condensation and frost.

Food with high water content was placed near an air vent.

• Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents.

Refrigerator temperature control is set incorrectly.

• If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the
temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Control Panel section for more information.

Refrigerator is installed in a cold location.

• When the refrigerator is operated in temperature below 41 °F (5 °C), food can freeze in the
refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperature below
55 °F (13 °C).

Incorrect temperature control settings.

• If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the
temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Control Panel for more information.

Appliance was recently installed.

• It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.

The air vents are blocked.

• Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move all packages that block
vents and restrict airflow. Rearrange items to allow air to flow throughout the
compartment.

Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.

• When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the

lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.

Appliance is installed in a hot location.

• The appliance should not be operated in temperatures above 110 °F (43 °C).

A large amount of food or hot food was added to either compartment.

• Adding food warms the compartment requiring the cooling system to run. Allowing hot
food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator will reduce this
effect.

Doors are not closed correctly.

• See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section in the Troubleshooting.

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,

us_main.book.book Page 28 Tuesday, June 1, 2021 4:42 PM

28 LIMITED WARRANTY

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
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

us_main.book.book Page 29 Tuesday, June 1, 2021 4:42 PM

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 [e-mail], with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1­800-980-2973. 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.

32 LIMITED WARRANTY

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:

EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH
BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED
AT LAW, YOU AND LG BOTH IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING
OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics Canada, Inc., its
parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries,
predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include
any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute,
regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or
relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.

Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify
LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LGECI Legal
Team at 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario, Canada M9L 2X6 (the “Notice of Dispute”). You and LG
agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must
provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim;
and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the
dispute within 30 days of LG’s receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the dispute shall be resolved by binding
arbitration in accordance with the procedure set out herein. You and LG both agree that, during the
arbitration proceeding, the terms (including any amount) of any settlement offer made by either you or LG
will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until the arbitrator determines the dispute.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during
the 30 day period after LG’s receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you and LG agree to resolve any claims
between you and LG only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided
below, or you reside in a jurisdiction that prevents full application of this clause in the circumstances of the
claims at issue (in which case if you are a consumer, this clause will only apply if you expressly agree to the
arbitration). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute between you and LG shall not be
combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More
specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, except to the extent such a prohibition is not permitted at
law, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or
representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims
court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis except to
the extent this prohibition is not permitted at law in your province or territory of jurisdiction as it relates to
the claims at issue between you and LG.

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written
demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be private and confidential, and conducted on a simplified and
expedited basis before a single arbitrator chosen by the parties under the provincial or territorial
commercial arbitration law and rules of the province or territory of your residence. You must also send a
copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, Canada, Inc., Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration, 20
Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario M9L 2X6. This arbitration provision is governed by your applicable
provincial or territorial commercial arbitration legislation. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s
award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that, issues
relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute
are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.

Governing Law. The law of the province or territory of your purchase shall govern this Limited Warranty
and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent
with applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim,
action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
courts of the province or territory of your purchase for the resolution of the claim, action, dispute or
controversy between you and LG.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand
for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees unless you seek more than $25,000 in
damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules.
Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any
arbitration initiated in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules and this arbitration provision. If you
prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by

us_main.book.book Page 33 Tuesday, June 1, 2021 4:42 PM

considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an
arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the
substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose
(as measured by the applicable laws), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the
applicable arbitration rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously
disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the applicable arbitration rules. Except as
otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if
LG prevails in the arbitration.

Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration
conducted solely (1) on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic
hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the applicable arbitration rules. If your claim
exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the applicable arbitration rules. Any in­person arbitration hearings will be held at the nearest, most mutually-convenient arbitration location
available within the province or territory in which you reside unless you and LG both agree to another
location or agree to a telephonic arbitration.

Severability and Waiver. If any portion of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures)
is unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law. Should LG fail to enforce strict performance of any provision of this Limited
Warranty (including these arbitration procedures), it does not mean that LG intends to waive or has waived
any provision or part of this Limited Warranty.

Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can
require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no
later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by
either (i) sending an e-mail to [e-mail], with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out;” or (ii) calling 1­800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address;
(b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d)
the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing https://
www.lg.com/ca_en/support/repair-service/schedule-repair and clicking on “Find My Model & Serial
Number”).

In the event that you “Opt Out”, the law of the province or territory of your residence shall govern this
Limited Warranty and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted
by or inconsistent with applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted
for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG agree to attorn to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your residence for the resolution of the
claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.

You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail
or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure.
Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any
way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and
do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.

Conflict of Terms. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Limited Warranty
and the End User License Agreement (“EULA”) in regards to dispute resolution, the terms of this Limited
Warranty shall control and govern the rights and obligations of the parties and shall take precedence over
the EULA.
