21SMART FUNCTIONS
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 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.
Smart Grid Application Features
Smart Saving_Demand Response
You can lower energy usage based on Demand Response (DR) signals from the utility company. If the refrigerator is operating in Smart Saving mode according to the DR signal, you can see a pop up.
Seasonal Energy Savings
Lower energy usage based on time period.
Using the Smart Grid Function
This feature responds to notification events from your utility company to run high energy consuming tasks during off-peak periods when demand is lower. These notification events are known as Demand Response signals.
If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response 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 Demand Response 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 the period 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 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.
Override Smart Grid Mode
To ignore the Demand Response signal from the utility company and override the Smart Grid function, push the Smart Grid button while the refrigerator is in Smart Grid mode.
When you override the Smart Grid function, the refrigerator ignores the Demand Response signal and is no longer controlled by the utility company until the next Demand Response signal is sent. You can also override the Smart Grid function using the smart phone app.

FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the best temperature settings for my freezer?
A: The default setting for the freezer is 0° Fahrenheit (-18° Celsius). Adjust these settings as necessary
to keep food at desired temperatures. Ice cream should be firm and ice cubes should not melt in the freezer. To switch the display from Fahrenheit to Celsius, press Freezer button first to wake the display then press and hold the Freezer and Smart Grid buttons until you hear a beep and the settings in the display change.
Q: How do I set the freezer temperatures?
A: Continually press the Freezer button on the control panel until the desired temperature appears. The
numbers will cycle from highest to lowest and then return to the highest again with continuous pressing.
Q: Why do I hear a buzzing noise from my freezer periodically?
A: This may happen if you do not have a water source attached to your freezer and the icemaker is
turned on. If you do not have a water source attached to freezer you should turn the icemaker off on control panel.
Q: Why does the icemaker tray look crooked?
A: This is a normal part of the icemaker cycle. The icemaker tray may appear level or with a slight tilt.
The change in position is to assist in the freezing process.
ENGLISH
Q: My refrigerator is powered on and the controls are working, but it’s not cooling and the display
shows “OF” (see below). What is wrong?
A: The refrigerator is in Demo Mode. This mode disables cooling to save energy while the appliance is
on display in a store. To restore normal operation, press Freezer button first to wake the display then press and hold the Freezer and Water Filter Reset buttons until you hear a beep and temperature setting appear on display. Use the same procedure to return the refrigerator to Demo Mode, if desired.

Demo Mode allows the lights and control display to work normally while disabling cooling, to save energy while the refrigerator is on the showroom floor. See the FAQs section of this manual for instructions on how to disable Demo Mode.
During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.
Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology.
The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)
Doors are not closed completely.
Refrigerator is installed in a hot location.
Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section.
The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70 °F)
expect your compressor to run about 40 % to 80 % of
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated above 110 °F.

Pulsating or high­pitched sound
Your refrigerator is designed to run
more efficiently to keep your food items
at the desired temperature. The high
efficiency compressor may cause your
new refrigerator to run longer than your
old one, but it is still more energy
efficient than previous models. While
the refrigerator is running, it is normal
to hear a pulsating or high-pitched
sound.
