NOTE: If no connection is made after five minutes the
blinking SMART GRID button LED will turn off.
Smart Grid Operation:
Once connected and registered, the appliance is capable
of accepting a signal from your electrical company. The
signal, known as a Demand Response (DR) signal, will adjust
refrigerator operation to reduce power consumption for
a period of time ranging from a few minutes up to a
maximum of 4 hours. Ice making will be delayed during
this time. Opening the refrigerator door may cancel
certain DR signals.
The Grid Mode LED (red) will be steadily lit when the
signal is in effect. To disable the signal and prevent
further signal acceptance, press and release the Smart
Grid button. Both the Grid Mode and Smart Grid LED
will turn off. Press and release the Smart Grid button
again to enable DR signal acceptance capability. The
Smart Grid button LED will relight. The Grid Mode LED
will light when another DR signal is sent.
