SMART GRID Function (Demand Response)

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 Override On/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 offpeak 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 (L3) ~ TALR (L4) 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: Turn on “DAL” icon) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (Display: Turn on “TALR” icon) 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, turn on the “DAL” icon 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 Override 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, turn on the “TALR” icon on the refrigerator display.

-TALR (L4) mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the received duration (max. 15 minutes), or when the Override 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.

To check the MAC address

1.In this mode, the MAC address appears on the temperature panel sequentially for 1 minute.

Press and hold both Freezer and Filter Reset for 6 seconds. The temperature display blinks. Then, press Control Lock to display the MAC address. The freezer beeps.

2.For example, if the MAC address is “11-22-33-44-55-66”, the temperature panel displays the address for 1 minute in this sequence: “--”  “11”  “22”  “33”  “44”  “55”  “66”  “--”.

After the 1 minute, the MAC address disappears and the temperature panel returns to the normal state.

NOTE

The temperature panel displays “-- / --” for an unknown MAC address or if a Wi-Fi connection is not established or is lost.

Override Mode

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

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

Activating and deactivating Override mode

1.Press and hold Override for 3 seconds.

2.A beep sounds with a message of ‘Or’ on the temperature display for 5 seconds. The

Override indicator
