Operations
Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (L4)
The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short
time period. This function reduces energy consumption by stopping the compressor
and controlling the functions that consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and
making ice.
• TALR mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the received duration
(max. 15 minutes), or when the Peak Demand Off function is activated. The mode is
immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to the normal state when the door
is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.
Peak Demand Off (Override mode)
When you want the refrigerator to ignore the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal from
the utility company, you can activate Peak Demand Off (Override mode).
When you activate Peak Demand Off (Override mode), the refrigerator ignores the SMART
GRID (Demand Response) signal and is not controlled by the utility company.
You can activate or deactivate this mode from the main panel or on the SmartThings app.
Activating and deactivating Peak Demand Off (Override mode)
1. Press and hold Ice On/Off (Main panel type A and B) or Vacation (Main panel type C) for
10 seconds.
2. A buzzer sounds and the Peak Demand Off (Override mode)
3. If the refrigerator receives a SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal from the utility
company, all of the fridge temperature indicators turn on.
- You can still adjust the temperature while the refrigerator receives a SMART GRID
(Demand Response) signal.
4. To deactivate Peak Demand Off (Override mode), press and hold Ice On/Off (Main panel
type A and B) or Vacation (Main panel type C) for 10 seconds.
5. A buzzer sounds and the Peak Demand Off (Override mode)
Energy management functions available on the SmartThings app
Energy consumption monitoring (for the past and current month) Shows the accumulated
power consumption. Power consumption data is updated every 10 minutes.
NOTE
The energy consumption report may differ from the power consumption specifications of
the product depending on the operating environment and the stored food.

• Defrost Delay
- Delay Defrost saves energy by delaying the defrost operation in a 24-hour cycle to a
time specified by the user. To change the delay time, use the Delay Defrost menu on
the app. By default, the delay time is set as below:
