capability.

To connect the refrigerator to the Internet:

NOTE: If no connection is made after 10 minutes, the

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), 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.
