Demand Response
What is Demand Response?
Some utilities vary their electricity rates based on the
time of day. Some utilities offer Demand Response
programs to reduce energy usage during certain times
of the day. Some utilities may do both things. This
refrigerator has a Demand Response feature to help
control energy usage.
Using Demand Response without a Utility
Program
The Demand Response feature allows the user to shift
high energy features, like defrost, for a 4-hour window.
This window corresponds to the average peak energy
usage. This feature is enabled or disabled with the Café
Appliances app and requires the Café Appliances app
to operate. It does not depend on the local utility, or
whether it varies the electricity rates.
Demand Response with your Utility
If your utility has a compatible Demand Response
program, and you are signed up with the utility,
this refrigerator can modify its energy usage based
on commands received from the utility. The Café
Appliances app can be used to override the Demand
Response program, if desired. Please note that there
are many different Demand Response programs, and
many are not compatible with kitchen appliances.
Please check with your local utility.
The demand response level is displayed in the mobile
app. Delay appliance load mode (DAL) reduces power
consumption by delaying defrost and ice production for
4 hours. Temporary appliance load reduction (TALR)
reduces the power consumption by delaying defrost, ice
production, and stopping cooling for 10 minutes.
Estimated energy consumption in Watt-hour(Wh) is
reported in the mobile app.
