SMART GRID Function (Demand Response) (applicable models only)

When the refrigerator operates in SMART GRID (Demand Response) mode, the Energy Management Refrigerator function can control energy usage or delay the operation of some functions to save money when energy prices or demand are the highest.

NOTE

• You can deactivate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function at any time using the Peak Demand Off function.
• To use the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function, you need a separate contract with your electric utility company.

In addition, to use the Smart Grid (Demand Response) function, you must register for the service with your electric company. The company must have an EMS (Energy Management System) that supports SEP (Smart Energy profile).

Using the SMART GRID (Demand Response) Function

This feature monitors energy prices and demand information from your utility company and sends notifications to the refrigerator to run high energy consuming tasks during off-peak times when electricity costs and demand are lower.

If the refrigerator receives a control signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will display the DAL ~ TALR levels on the refrigerator display and control the power consumption according to the level.

[Exception condition] The DAL and TALR control signals from a utility company work as long as product performance is maintained.

If the refrigerator receives the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal (DAL or TALR), the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (Display:L3) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (Display:L4) mode.

• Delay Appliance Load (L3): The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period. This function controls functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the Cooling system, running the defrost cycle, and making ice.
  • When the refrigerator operates in DAL (L3) mode, “L3” is displayed on the refrigerator display.
  • DAL mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the amount of time stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4.5 hours) or when the Peak Demand Off key is pressed.
• Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (L4): The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period. This function reduces energy consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and making ice.
  • When the refrigerator operates in TALR (L4) mode, “L4” is displayed on the refrigerator display.
  • TALR (L4) mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the received duration (max. 15 minutes), or when the Peak Demand Off key is pressed. The mode is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to the normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.

Peak Demand Off (Override mode)

When you want the refrigerator to ignore the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal from the utility company, you can activate Peak Demand Off (Override mode).

When you activate Peak Demand Off (Override mode), the refrigerator ignores the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal and is not controlled by the utility company.

Activating and deactivating Peak Demand Off (Override mode)

1. Tap and hold < for 3 seconds.
2. Then the Peak Demand Off (Override mode) icon ( ) turns on.
3. If the refrigerator receives a SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal from the utility company, ’Or’ is displayed in the freezer temperature display.

A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water filter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that.

The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure must be between 30-125 psi (206-861 kPa).

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 30 psi / 206 kPa), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

After you have connected the water line, check if the water dispenser works properly.

Press the water dispenser lever until the water runs from the water outlet.

NOTE: Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your retailer. We recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and a 1/4" (6 mm) compression nut.

• Shut off the main water source.
• Insert the pipe clamp (B) and the shutoff valve (C) into the cold water line (A).

• Connect the water line installation kit (A) to the shutoff valve (B).

STEP 7 Initial settings

By completing the following steps, the refrigerator should be fully functioning.

• Plug the power cord into the wall socket to turn the refrigerator on.
• Open the door, and check if the interior light lights up.
• Set the temperature to the coldest setting, and wait for about an hour. Then, the freezer will be slightly chilled, and the motor should be running smoothly.
• Wait until the refrigerator reaches the set temperature. Now the refrigerator is ready for use.

STEP 8 Final check

When installation is complete, confirm that:

• The refrigerator is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
• The refrigerator is installed on a flat, level surface with a reasonable clearance from walls and cabinets.
• The refrigerator is level and is sitting firmly on the floor.
• The door opens and closes freely, and the interior light turns on automatically when you open the door.
