BERLIN, Sep. 5, 2013 — At IFA 2013 in Berlin, LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing its latest lineup of side-by-side and bottom-freezer refrigerators which offer consumers more energy savings and greater convenience than ever before.

 

LG’s side-by-side refrigerators are equipped with convenience enhancing features such as Door-in-Door™ for quick access to favorite snacks and drinks. Door-in-Door™ comes with handy customizable basket sections, enabling family members to have their very own storage compartments.The energy efficient bottom-freezer models incorporate the Total No Frost feature, which offers faster and more even cooling to keep food fresh even longer. And LG’s convenient Smart Diagnosis™ provides consumers with a quick and effective way to troubleshoot any issues with their units. These new refrigerators deliver even greater reliability and energy efficiency thanks to LG’s powerful Inverter Linear Compressor, which comes with a 10-year warranty.

 

“When selecting home appliances, European consumers look for a combination of performance, user convenience and energy efficiency,” said Seong-jin Jo, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “We’re confident that our newest lineup of advanced refrigerator models will prove popular with European consumers.”

 

Door-in-Door™

LG’s highly convenient Door-in-Door™ makes it easier to reach frequently sought after food and beverage items and also helps reduce cold air loss from escaping the main refrigerator compartment. By helping to reduce temperature fluctuations that occur whenever the refrigerator door is opened, the Door-in-Door™ helps to keep food fresh longer.

 

Inverter Linear Compressor

LG’s proprietary Inverter Linear Compressor enables the refrigerators to provide industry leading energy efficiency and food freshness, reduced noise levels and superior durability. In comparison to a reciprocating drive system, the company’s piston-driven compressor generates less internal friction and offers more precise cooling control, which ultimately ensures lower energy consumption. The Inverter Linear Compressor comes with a 10-year parts warranty.

 

Total No Frost

LG’s newest refrigerators are also equipped with a Total No Frost feature. Most conventional internal-airflow systems disperse cool air inconsistently. LG’s advanced design guarantees even cooling throughout the refrigerator’s entire interior. Thanks to the new Multi Air Flow system, lunch meat stored on the top shelf of the fridge will stay just as cool as vegetables kept on the bottom shelf. Total No Frost cools down warm food much faster than other refrigerators and is more energy efficient than other internal-airflow systems.

 

Smart Diagnosis™

If an LG refrigerator experiences any problems, the Smart Diagnosis™ feature allows call center representatives to quickly diagnose the issue over the phone. What’s more, the Smart Diagnosis™ smartphone app allows homeowners to record and analyze signals from the refrigerator for immediate advice on the best repair options. An effective means of troubleshooting potential issues, Smart Diagnosis™ is the ideal solution for today’s busy customers who don’t have the time to waste on costly, inconvenient service visits.

 

Convenience-enhancing Features

LG’s bottom-freezer refrigerators come with a number of convenience-enhancing features that make consumers’ lives easier. The lattice-type box cover of the Moist Balance Crisper™ improves moisture retention, helping to boost the longevity of food items. Located in the main refrigerator compartment, the convenient Fresh 0 Zone is an ideal place to store meats and fish, as users can access these oft-used items immediately without having to freeze and thaw them. Perfect for smaller kitchens, the Zero Clearance door can be opened to a 90-degree angle even if the refrigerator is placed close to a wall. In this position all drawers can be fully extended, making access to food much easier.

And finally, the sleek, attractive Easy Open Handle makes it possible to open the refrigerator door with a minimal amount of effort. Another impressive feature is LG’s Non-Plumed Ice & Water, which adds a new level of convenience to the water and ice dispensers. Users can simply pour water into a tank, no installation or external water connection hoses are required and there are no filters to change. The Non-Plumed Ice & Water ensures that the family has access to convenient, hassle-free water and ice at all times.

BERLIN, Sep. 5, 2013 — LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing its new range of 12kg big capacity washing machines and its new Eco-Hybrid washer-dryers and dryers at IFA 2013. With the biggest capacity in its category, the washing machines boast LG’s proprietary 6 Motion Direct Drive and TrueSteam™ technologies, ensuring powerful and hygienic washing performance. LG’s 12kg big capacity washing machines are 40 percent more energy efficient than other LG A+++ washing machines. More-over, LG’s new washer-dryers equipped with innovative Eco-Hybrid technology offer a new Air-drying system in addition to normal drying modes. Each finely tuned setting has been optimized to achieve significant energy efficiency with water or time saving.

 

“LG’s highly acclaimed washing machines provide both strong and delicate performance for greater consumer benefits,” said Seong-jin Jo, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “They can wash larger loads while using less energy and water, which is what consumers have been asking for. What’s more, our new Eco-Hybrid washer-dryers allow homeowners to better manage electricity and water consumption for lower utility bills and less environmental impact. There are absolutely no compromises.”

 

LG’s advanced 6 Motion Direct Drive motor uses a combination of six different motions to deliver customized washes for various types of clothes with fewer wrinkles and less damage. In addition, thanks to the Inverter Direct Drive motor, LG washers perform quietly and reliably. LG backs the durability and reliability of its Inverter Direct Drive motor with a 10-year warranty while VDE[1], Germany’s scientific and technical association, evaluated and certified that the Inverter Direct Drive had a lifespan of 22 years.

 

LG’s front–load washing machine also incorporates the unique TrueSteam™ technology, which includes the Steam Refresh function. Instead of water, steam is used to remove wrinkles and odors from clothes in just 20 minutes, leaving deep clean results. Moreover, LG’s TrueSteam™ technology helps to remove allergens, mites and even residual detergent, all of which have been linked to respiratory and skin allergies. In recognition of these features, LG’s steam washer has been certified by the British Allergy Foundation.

 

Eco-Hybrid Washer-Dryer

LG’s Eco-Hybrid washer-dryers provide users with both Air-drying and normal drying modes, whereas most washing machines only offer one or the other. Each of these convenient and efficient options delivers A-grade energy savings. Compared with LG conventional drying modes, LG’s powerful Air-drying setting can save users nearly 7,000liters of water per year.[2]

 

At 24-inch standard size, LG’s Eco-Hybrid washer-dryer boasts the world’s first 12kg washing capacity and 8kg drying capacity, effectively reducing a household’s washing frequency by approximately 91 washes per year.[3]Moreover, LG’s innovative new Dual Ball Balancer and Damping System help to maintain load balance and reduce noise created by internal vibrations.

 

Eco-Hybrid Dryer

LG’s Eco-Hybrid dryer features an Eco mode and a Speed mode, letting the owner choose between optimal energy and time savings. Using sophisticated heat pump technology, Eco mode achieves A++ energy efficiency. Speed mode also provides great energy efficiency, with an A grade while taking 30 percent less time[4] to complete a cycle. An ideal solution for delicate items, LG’s Eco-Hybrid dryers can dry clothes even at low temperatures, reducing fabric damage and shrinkage.

 

These advanced dryers are also equipped with LG’s unique Auto Cleaning System, which cleans the dryer’s condenser up to seven times per cycle. Built to stand up to repeated usage, this durable system optimizes energy efficiency as well as drying performance. Moreover, any build-up of lint in the condenser over time is also minimized.

By simply touching their smartphones to the NFC Tag-on symbol on one of LG’s smart appliances and through Smart Control, customers can easily register and control their refrigerator, washing machine, robotic vacuum cleaner or oven and remotely monitor the appliances.

 

“At this year’s IFA, LG will demonstrate its most advanced, convenience-enhancing smart home appliances,” said Seong-jin Jo, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “LG’s upgraded smart technology gives users the ability to control their appliances, no matter where they are. Owners can begin their evening’s wash while driving home from work so wet laundry doesn’t sit in the washing machine all day. They can also tell their robotic cleaner to vacuum the floor to receive unplanned guests or bring up a list of food items in the refrigerator that are nearing their expiration dates. LG’s enhanced device-to-device connectivity offers incredible convenience, as users can monitor household appliances through their TV while still watching their favorite shows. It’s a smart home for those who want the ultimate smart lifestyle.”

 

LG differentiates its smart appliances with two separate but highly complementary sets of technologies. LG’s four Core Technologies – the Inverter Linear Compressor, Inverter Direct Drive, KOMPRESSOR™ and Lightwave – enable superior performance and savings, while LG’s innovative smart technologies – Smart Manager, Smart Diagnosis™, Smart Access, Smart Adapt and Smart Grid Ready – create greater user convenience.

A Smart Refrigerator to Revolutionize Food Management

Built around the company’s signature Inverter Linear Compressor, LG’s smart refrigerator is equipped with a full range of smart technologies. First among them is Smart Manager, which transforms the refrigerator into a complete food management system. Customers can use the LCD panel or their smartphones to check what’s inside without opening the door. With the Smart Manager’s Freshness Tracker, users can input various foods and check their expiration dates. Additionally, the Smart Manager recommends dishes to cook based on which ingredients are available in the refrigerator.

 

The Smart Access feature lets users check the status of their LG appliances via a smartphone, wherever they may be. So rather than keeping track of a cumbersome shopping list, LG smart refrigerator owners can simply call up a list of what’s in their kitchen fridge directly from the supermarket on their iOS or Android phones through the LG Smart Refrigerator app.

 

Smart Shopping[1] is another new feature of Smart Manager that enables online grocery shopping directly from the refrigerator’s LCD panel. Items can be automatically purchased when current supplies are running low or they can be selected and ordered manually. Smart Shopping eliminates the need to ever visit a supermarket again, saving time, gas and increasing convenience.

 

LG’s unique Health Manager¹ feature recommends individual recipes, as well as daily and weekly meal plans, based on the owner’s personal profile. The user’s age, gender, weight and height as well as information such as allergies are entered into the database to create an appropriate, personalized meal plan.

 

LG’s Smart Diagnosis™ has undergone an impressive upgrade, allowing LG’s smart products to better self-assess problems and inform the user. Through a Wi-Fi connection, NFC tagging and audible diagnosis alerts, the owner is quickly made aware of any minor issues such as when the ice maker is turned off, which helps limit costly, inconvenient service calls and in-home visits by customer service.

 

LG’s smart refrigerator is also Smart Grid Ready, meaning it can automatically adjust its temperature and settings, creating a practical smart energy-saving solution. LG’s smart refrigerator also features Delay Defrost Capability, which can reduce power consumption during specific hours of the day. In addition, instead of just displaying step-by-step instructions, LG’s smart refrigerator recommends recipes to make based on ingredients already in the refrigerator via instructional videos.

 

A Smart Washing Machine with Wi-Fi/NFC Tag Smart Diagnosis™

LG’s smart washing machine incorporates Smart Diagnosis™, Smart Access, Smart Adapt and Smart Grid Ready features. Using Wi-Fi, NFC tagging and audible diagnosis, LG’s Smart Diagnosis™ alerts the user of technical issues, while the Smart Adapt feature makes it possible to download washing cycle courses— such as Baby Wear or Air-Refresh — via smartphone or directly from the washing machine’s LCD panel. Users can then monitor the status of the smart washing machine and select options via a smartphone or an LG smart TV.

 

Smart Access keeps owners in touch with their washing machine regardless of their location. Homeowners no longer need to worry when leaving the house with the washer running as Smart Access makes it possible to monitor its status wirelessly. Functions and settings can be remotely adjusted and pop-up messages appear on the user’s smartphone or LG smart TV when a wash or dry cycle has been completed. The Washing Coach Function guides consumers on how much detergent is necessary for optimal results and notifies the user when it’s time to clean the drum. Ideal for beginners, the One Touch Washing function simplifies the task of doing laundry, allowing users to select what type of clothes are being washed via a smartphone app. Using NFC, LG’s washing machine then automatically sets the optimal washing options and appropriate course.

 

A Smarter Oven for Smarter Cooking
LG’s Smart Oven comes equipped with Smart Access, Smart Adapt and Smart Diagnosis™, which opens up a whole new range of smarter cooking possibilities. With a Wi-Fi connection,home chefs canmonitor the status of their ovens, search for recipes and set cooking modes. Even without Wi-Fi, NFC gives users the ability to program the oven for a particular recipe as well as diagnose a problem using their mobile devices. Moreover, while the normal cooking process involves having to manually set the cooking mode, temperature and time, this process can simply be achieved with a smartphone through the One Touch Cooking setting. And because many European homes have closed kitchens making it difficult to know when dishes are done, owners can be notified when their food is done while watching their favorite shows on an LG smart TV.

Is Equipped with Enhanced Smart Features that Offer Greater Control

 

BERLIN, Sep. 2, 2013 — LG Electronics (LG) will showcase its latest square robotic vacuum cleaner, the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE at IFA 2013 in Berlin, Germany.

 

The Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE offers a significant boost in cleaning performance, thanks largely to LG’s impressive Corner Master. Furthermore, the new robotic vacuum cleaner is also equipped with LG’s innovative smart technologies — Smart Control, Cleaning History, Smart Diagnosis™ and Software Update —allowing the userto remotely control the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE with a smartphone.

 

“Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE makes cleaning hard-to-reach places effortless because it was designed to recognize that corners in homes are sharp angles, not curved,” said Seong-jin Jo, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “It made perfect sense to our engineers that a vacuum should take this into account.

At this year’s IFA, LG’s robotic vacuum cleaners will demonstrate their incredible maneuverability with a perfectly choreographed routine. The entertaining display of skill will be performed at select times throughout this year’s exhibition.

Working Quietly but Thoroughly

LG’s Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE cleans effectively and efficiently thanks to Corner Master, which is comprised of two long brushes, corner detecting sensors and the cleaner’s unique shape. With its angular form and redesigned brushes that are 1.5cm longer than on the previous HOM-BOT, the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE can remove dust and dirt from the tightest of corners. The corner detecting sensors enable the smart cleaner to know its exact location in the home and directs it to turn when it has reached the edge of a room.

 

While robotic cleaners typically employ a single camera, the advanced HOM-BOT SQUARE uses two improved Dual Eye 2.0™ cameras for smarter, faster and more efficient cleaning performance. Taking several images per second, the upper and lower cameras scan ceilings, walls and floors, even in the dark. This information is then analyzed by the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE to generate a smart map. Simultaneously, multiple sensors detect obstacles within a 180 degree field and remembers their locations for collision-free operation. The Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE also features a Learning Function which enables it to recognize areas it has cleaned previously. This helps it to remember the positioning of objects and to sense when an area is already clean, minimizing cleaning time and energy.

 

The extremely low noise level of just 60dBA means the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE won’t distract when family members are watching TV, talking on the phone or napping. And at only 89mm tall, this robotic cleaner can maneuver around the home with ease, even under most beds, sofas and other large furniture.

 

The LG Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE’s large capacity Easy-out Dust Bin makes cleaning more convenient as it requires less frequent emptying. Unlike other robotic vacuums where the dust bin is located on the side, the Easy-out Dust Bin is located on the top of the unit for quick and mess-free removal. The larger, upgraded HEPA 11 filter is capable of separating dust particles from the air more thoroughly and also helps eliminate unpleasant odors in the home. Turbo Mode lets users manually adjust the cleaner to best match the characteristics of the flooring, while Smart Turbo Mode automatically detects the type of flooring and changes the setting for optimal performance.

Smarter Lives with More Control
