a cycle during a Critical or High Rate period. The default
setting is
YES
.
Auto-Extend Delays
If a timed delay is selected, this option allows for the
scheduled start to extend if the utility rate is Critical or
High at the scheduled start. The default setting will
automatically extend these cycles.
Critical Rate Option
This option allows your smart appliance to respond to Critical
Rate information by automatically engaging the Critical
Response Mode. The Critical Response Mode is designed to
maximize energy savings when a cycle is run during a Critical
Rate period. The default setting is YES. Setting this option to
NO will disable the Critical Response Mode.
In order for the demand response features on the appliance
to work, additional equipment is required to be installed to
interface with the local utility. Such equipment may be sold
separately and/or is available through your utility as part of
the pilot test program. Check with your utility company to
see if a pilot test program is available in your area and for full
details.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you move to an area where the program
is not available, the demand response features cannot be
activated and utilized on the appliance. The appliance will
function as normal after the demand response equipment has
been deactivated or disconnected.
