Smart Grid Function
When the refrigerator operates in Smart Grid 
mode, the Smart Refrigerator function can control 
energy usage or delay the operation of some 
functions to save energy during peak usage 
periods.
• You can override the Smart Grid function any 
time (using the Smart Grid button or 
application).
• To use the Smart Grid function, you need to 
register your appliance with your electric utility 
company.
Smart Grid Application Features
• Smart Saving_Demand Response
-  You can lower energy usage based on Demand 
Response (DR) signals from the utility 
company. If the refrigerator is operating in 
Smart Saving mode according to the DR signal, 
you can see a pop up.
• Seasonal Energy Savings
-  Lower energy usage based on time period.
Using the Smart Grid Function
This feature responds to notification events from 
your utility company to run high energy 
consuming tasks during off-peak periods when 
demand is lower. These notification events are 
known as Demand Response signals.
If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response 
signal from the utility company, the refrigerator 
will turn on the Grid LED on the refrigerator 
display and control its power consumption 
according to the signal. The refrigerator will 
respond to the signals received from the utility 
company as long as product performance is 
maintained.
If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response 
signal, the refrigerator will operate in Delay 
Appliance Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance 
Load Reduction (TALR) mode.
Delay Appliance Load (DAL)
The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by 
providing a moderate load reduction for the 
duration of the delay period.
This mode controls functions that consume a lot of 
energy such as adjusting the cooling system, 
running the defrost cycle, and making ice.
• When the refrigerator operates in DAL mode, 
the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator 
display.
• DAL mode is automatically deactivated after the 
period stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4 
hours) or when you override the Smart Grid 
function.
Temporary Appliance Load Reduction
(TALR)
The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by 
aggressively reducing the load for a short time 
period, typically 10 minutes. This mode reduces 
energy consumption by stopping the compressor 
and controlling the functions that consume a lot of 
energy such as the defrost cycle and fan.
• When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode, 
the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator 
display.
• TALR mode is automatically deactivated after the 
received duration (max. 10 minutes), or when 
you override the Smart Grid function. The mode 
is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator
