SMART GRID Function (Demand Response)

When the refrigerator operates in SMART GRID (Demand Response) mode, the Energy
Management Refrigerator function can control energy usage or delay the operation of
some functions to save money when energy prices or demand are the highest.
NOTE
• You can deactivate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function at any time using the
Override On/Off function.
• To use the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function, you need a separate contract with
your electric utility company.
In addition, to use the Smart Grid (Demand Response) function, you must register for the
service with your electric company. The company must have an EMS (Energy Management
System) that supports SEP (Smart Energy profile).
Using the SMART GRID (Demand Response) Function
This feature monitors energy prices and demand information from your utility company
and sends notifications to the refrigerator to run high energy consuming tasks during off-
peak times when electricity costs and demand are lower.
If the refrigerator receives a control signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will
display the DAL (L3) ~ TALR (L4) levels on the refrigerator display and control the power
consumption according to the level.
Exception condition: The DAL and TALR control signals from a utility company work as
long as product performance is maintained.
If the refrigerator receives the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal (DAL or TALR), the
refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction
mode.
• Delay Appliance Load (L3): The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a
moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period. This function controls
functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the Cooling system, running
the defrost cycle, and making ice.
- DAL mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the amount of time
stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4.5 hours) or when the Override function is
turned on.
