INTRODUCTION TO SMART APPLIANCES

REFRIGERATOR

Let’s learn about your Smart Refrigerator. Your refrigerator is special: it’s connected. Not popular exactly, but downright friendly with the internet, your smartphone, computer and tablet. Plus, it’s not just energy efficient; it thinks about its efficiency, gets even smarter about saving you money and resources over time, and helps you do a little more each day by saving you valuable minutes and even more valuable effort. Now isn’t that smart?

HERE’S HOW:

IT HAS SMART FEATURES

Smart Features help make your everyday life more efficient by letting you remotely monitor, manage, and maintain your refrigerator.

POWER-OUT ALERT and POWER-ON NUDGE

What it does: Sends you a text, e-mail, or in-app alert if your refrigerator loses power for more than 30 minutes or your freezer temperature rises above 18˚F (-8°C)—and again when the power’s back on.

What it does for you: Saves you some worry about spoiled food and melty messes by letting you know you should check on

your appliance.

DOOR OPEN NUDGE

What it does: Tells you if your refrigerator or freezer door has been open for more than 5 minutes.

What it does for you: Saves you energy, money, and the heartache of discovering the ice cream has gone runny.

ISSUE ALERT

What it does: Sends you a text, e-mail, or in-app alert if something’s gone wrong.

What it does for you: Gives you a heads-up and helps you request service quickly by giving you all the info you need to connect with our service center.

VACATION ASSISTANT

What it does: Turns on your refrigerator’s energy-saving Vacation Mode feature from afar.

What it does for you: Makes that pre-vacation dummy check go a little smoother. Setting your refrigerator to low-energy mode when it won’t be opened for a while saves money and energy, and now you can do it from 50 miles down the road.

TEMP SET ASSISTANT

What it does: Remotely sets your refrigerator and freezer temperatures. What it does for you: Helps you be the life of the party a little in advance by (for example) letting you set your refrigerator temperature down to quick-chill beverages before guests arrive.

FILTER ASSISTANT

What it does: Notifies you that your refrigerator’s water filter needs changing.

What it does for you: Warns you that your water could soon be less than fresh so that you can take action!

IT WORKS WITH THE SMART GRID

Push one button, and your Smart Refrigerator does a whole lot: saves you money, saves energy, and helps you put less stress on the grid by keeping an eye on energy rates and demand as issued by your utility company. When either is high, your appliance will go into Smart Delay and wait for prices or demand to fall before running high-energy features.

Don’t worry; you can override the Smart Grid setting by pressing the Smart Grid button on the dispenser control panel. Energy monitoring will go dormant for 4 hours, and you won’t see the Smart Grid and Delay Ice icons on the refrigerator dispenser’s display screen. Change your mind? Just press the Smart Grid button again to allow your refrigerator to respond to energy rates.

SMART DELAY

What it does: Stops energy-hungry features such as the defrost cycle from running when energy rates or demand are highest. What it does for you: Helps you give a little back to the environment—and to yourself, in the form of a lower energy bill.

ENERGY ADVISOR

What it does: Displays your refrigerator’s power usage at any specific time and tracks its energy usage over time.

What it does for you: Gives you a chance to monitor, manage, and control your energy consumption.
