Smart Grid Function
When the refrigerator operates in SMART GRID
mode, the Smart Refrigerator function can control
energy usage or delay the operation of some
functions to save energy during peak usage
periods.
* You can override the SMART GRID function
at any time (using the Smart Grid button or
application).
* To use the SMART GRID function, you need to
register your appliance with your electric utility
company.
Using the SMART GRID Function
This feature demands information from your
utility company and sends notifications to the
refrigerator to run high energy-consuming tasks
during off-peak times when demand is lower.
If the refrigerator receives a control signal from
the utility company, the refrigerator will turn on
the GRID LED on the refrigerator display and
control its power consumption according to the
signal.
The refrigerator will respond to the signals
received from the utility company as long as
product performance is maintained.
If the refrigerator receives a SMART GRiD signal,
the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance
Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance Load
Reduction (TALR) mode.
Delay Appliance Load (DAL): The refrigerator
responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate
load reduction for the duration of the delay period.
This mode 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 mode,
the "Grid" LED is illuminated on the refrigerator
display.
- DAL mode is automatically deactivated after it
lasts for the amount of time stipulated by the
DAL signal (max. 4 hours) or when you override
the Smart Grid function.
Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR) :
The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by
aggressively reducing the load for a short time
period, typically 10 minutes. This mode reduces
energy consumption by stopping the compressor
and controlling the functions that consume a lot
of energy such as the defrost cycle and fan.
- When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode,
the "Grid" LED is illuminated on the refrigerator
display.
- TALR mode is automatically deactivated after it
lasts for the received duration (max. 10 minutes),
or when you override the Smart Grid function.
The mode is immediately deactivated and the
refrigerator returns to its normal state when the
door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is
used.
