Your Refrigerator Offers Two Types
of Smart Functionality:
Smart Grid
The Smart Grid feature allows your Smart Refrigerator to adjust or
delay certain functions during times when energy prices or demand
are the highest, which could save you money. Your Smart
Refrigerator will go into a Smart Delay until energy rates go down.
You can disable the Smart Delay and other Smart Grid Events at any
time.
Smart Features
Many features of your Smart Refrigerator can be remotely accessed
by devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. These
Smart Features allow you to remotely monitor, manage and maintain
your refrigerator.
Using Smart Grid
This feature monitors energy price and demand
information from your utility company and sends
notifications to the refrigerator to run high energyconsuming tasks during off-peak times when electricity
costs and demand are lower. The Smart Grid icon will
appear on the dispenser display screen when the feature is active.
If the refrigerator receives a Smart Grid notification, it will implement
Smart Delay and/or Delay Ice.
Smart Delay: The Smart Delay feature adjusts cooling system
operations, the defrost cycle, and high energy-consuming features
such as Fast Ice.
Delay Ice: The Delay Ice feature temporarily stops
ice production for up to 4 hours, depending on the
type of notification received. The Delay Ice icon
appears on the dispenser display screen.
■ To manually turn off the Smart Delay and Delay Ice features and
resume normal operation and ice production, press the SMART
GRID button on the dispenser control panel.
Smart Grid functionality and the Smart Delay and Delay Ice
features will turn off for 4 hours, and the Smart Grid and Delay Ice
icons will both disappear from the display screen.
NOTE: After 4 hours have passed, the Smart Grid feature will
automatically reactivate. To manually reactivate before 4 hours
have passed, press the SMART GRID button.
Using Smart Features
Following is a summary of the additional Smart Features that make it
more convenient to use your Smart Refrigerator. Some features
include the ability to receive notifications through text (SMS) and
e-mail, and require you to configure your notification settings in your
online account.
Temperature Setting Adjustment:
This Smart feature allows you to remotely adjust the temperature set
point(s) of your refrigerator and freezer.
Power Outage Notification:
In the event your refrigerator loses power, you will be notified when
power is restored. This will allow you to react appropriately in order to
avoid or minimize loss of food.
Door Ajar Notification:
You will receive a notification if either door (refrigerator or freezer) is
left open for longer than 10 minutes.
Water Filter Status Notification:
You will be notified when it is time to change your water filter. The
notification will provide you with filter replacement information and the
opportunity to place the order. You can also remotely reset the status
of the filter.
Energy Monitor:
The Energy Monitor tracks current power usage and also provides an
overview of previous power consumption.
