Using the Smart Grid Function This feature responds to notification events from your utility company to run high energyconsuming 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. - W hen the refrigerator operates in DAL mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display. - D AL mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the amount of time 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. - W hen the refrigerator operates in TALR mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display. - T ALR mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for 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.
