42 SMART FUNCTIONS 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 returns to its normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used. Override Smart Grid Mode To ignore the Demand Response signal from the utility company and override the Smart Grid function, push the Smart Grid button while the refrigerator is in Smart Grid mode. When you override the Smart Grid function, the refrigerator ignores the Demand Response signal and is no longer controlled by the utility company until the next Demand Response signal is sent. You can also override the Smart Grid function using the smart phone app. LG Open API You can manage Smart Grid features for the LG Smart Refrigerator.
