SMART WAYS TO WELCOME SUMMER

For home electronics company LG (Life’s Good), spring is a time of renewal, where new colours and life revitalise the world after the long cold months of winter. The season is often also a time to refresh and reinvigorate the home with a good spring cleaning, and to that end LG ThinQ offers a series of smart tips to help us on our way… Begin the cleaning with “Routine”: Getting started is often the hardest part of spring cleaning. To kick-start the process, use the “Routine” feature on the ThinQ app to apply customised settings to all connected appliances and set them all to work with just one simple touch. Set green goals with “Energy Dashboard”: Reducing household energy consumption is a great way to make a positive difference, and spring is the ideal time of year to get started. Through the ThinQ app’s “Energy Dashboard”, users can quickly check how much energy each LG smart appliance is consuming. Make time for breaks with remote control and monitoring: Cleaning with the ThinQ app and LG’s smart appliances means users don’t have to keep checking on everything themselves, leaving more time for those all-important breaks. Smart care for smart appliances: Should users encounter a problem with one of their LG smart appliances during a day of intense cleaning, there is no need to panic. The “Smart Diagnosis” and “Proactive Customer Care” features, both accessible from the ThinQ app, can help users identify and resolve issues without having to call or wait for a customer service representative or maintenance technician.

Their plant-based menu is inspired by nature and the healing properties of a nourishing, whole foods diet – with most of the dishes from Syrian culinary traditions. “Our food is a celebration of fresh ingredients,” they explain, “and our dishes involve little more than putting these together in ways that have been passed onto us across generations and influenced by the country’s complex mosaic of ethnicities and religions. The simplicity of our food and its abundant use of vegetables, legumes and olive oil makes it one of the healthiest.” Open Tuesday-Sunday 1.00pm-10:30pm Centro Comercial Pinares de Elviria (Marbella), Local 15-16 Tel.
