SMART GRID Function (Demand Response)
(applicable models only)
When the refrigerator operates in SMART GRID (Demand Response) mode, the Energy
Management function can control energy usage or delay the operation of some functions
to save money when energy prices or demand are the highest.
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 prole).
NOTE
• You can deactivate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function at any time using the
Peak Demand Off function.
• You can use monitor your energy consumption or turn energy-related features on and
off using the SmartThings app. You must install the SmartThings app on your mobile
device and connect the refrigerator to a Wi-Fi connection to use this feature.
Using the SMART GRID (Demand Response) Function
This feature monitors energy prices and demand information from your utility company
and sends notications to the refrigerator to run high energy consuming tasks during off-
peak times when electricity costs and demand are lower.
If the refrigerator receives the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal (DAL or TALR),
the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance Load
Reduction (TALR) mode.
