Checking Air Quality The overall air quality is indicated by color in the status display panel and the air quality indicator light.

Understanding Overall Air Quality The overall air quality is indicated using four levels, each using a different color. The overall air quality depends on both the dust density and the odor level.

Overall air quality Dust density (g/m3) Odor level

Color Status PM 10 PM2.5 PM1.0 Status Level

Red Very bad 255 or more 56 or more Very

strong 4

Orange Bad 155 ~ 254 36 ~ 55 Strong 3

Yellow Normal 55 ~ 154 13 ~ 35 Normal 2

Green Good 54 or less 12 or less Weak 1

Overall air quality is indicated by the color of the icon in the status display panel and of the air quality

indicator light.

The overall air quality color indicates the worst level, either the dust density or the odor level.

Using the Air Quality Indicator Light The overall air quality light changes color to green (good), yellow (normal), orange (bad) or red (very bad) depending on the dust density and odor level.

Air quality indicator light

Note After initial startup, the dust sensor stabilizes for 30 seconds and the odor sensor stabilizes for two minutes. The air quality light is white for 30 seconds, then it changes color to indicate the dust density level. Two minutes after starting, the light may change again if the odor level is worse than the dust density level.

Turning Air Quality Indicator Light On/Off While the product is operating, press the Light button to turn the overall air quality light on or off.

Light Light

Note The air quality indicator light turns off when the Off Timer

is set.

If the Light button is pressed after the Off Timer is set, both the air quality indicator light and the display indicator light are activated.

Checking Air Quality in the Display

The overall air quality is indicated by the color of the icon in the display. If the overall air quality is bad (orange) or very bad (red), the display also shows the cause.

In the example above, the PM1.0 (super ultra-fine dust) density is shown as 58 micrograms per cubic meter, which is very bad (red), so it must be higher than the other PM densities. Odor also appears in the display, so a strong odor is also detected.

Note If the overall air quality is good (green) or normal (yellow), the cause is not displayed.

Checking Dust Density and Humidity While the product is on, press the Indicator button.

Press the button repeatedly to quickly scroll through the sensor results: PM10 PM2.5 PM1.0 humidity.

After the Indicator button is pressed, the status will display for about 10 seconds.

Indicator

Note PM (particulate matter) density is displayed in increments

of 1 unit, from 8 to 999. PM density values are based on the data sheet provided by the sensor manufacturer.

The PM10 and PM2.5 air quality values follow those provided by the United States EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) for 2015.

The overall air quality level displayed on the product may differ from the level announced by the EPA.

The PM1.0 density is displayed in the same manner as the PM2.5 density and is based on LG Electronics standards.

The PM10 and PM2.5 densities displayed by the product could differ from the EPA forecast and from densities measured by other products or devices.

Differences in PM density values may be the result of different methods of measuring or differences in the actual PM density levels.

The PM density measurement was tested using LG Electronics' standard test materials.

Using the product near a humidifier, mister, air-conditioner, or other device which generates steam or micro-particles could affect the PM densities.

The overall air quality level is a result of both PM densities and the odor level. It may differ from the PM10, PM2.5, and PM1.0 density levels.

Even two products placed in the same space could measure the PM10 density differently due to air circulation.

The chemicals contained in air fresheners, perfumes, deodorizers, or cosmetics may affect the overall air quality display.

The dust density displayed may change with environmental factors such as the presence of sofas, beds, carpets, vacuum cleaners, humidity, smoke, bugs, pets, or cooking oils.

The PM densities may be affected by changes in the outside environment such as construction, heavy traffic, or pollen.

The micro dust density could be higher near outside doors, windows, vents, or in areas where outside air enters.

Use ONLY water to clean the sensor. Using anything else could cause product failure.

The fine dust density could be affected by cooking or using humidifiers, sprays, or other products which generate steam or fine particles.

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.

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 AAAs 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 arbitrators 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 purchasers purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com, 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.
