The Smart Grid function controls energy usage which helps

you save energy during peak usage periods. You can override

the SMART GRID function at any time (using the Smart Grid

button or application).
Smart Grid responds to notification events from your

utility company to run high energy-consuming tasks only

during off-peak times when electrical demand is lower.

These notification events are known as Demand Response

(DR) signals. If the refrigerator receives a DR signal from

the utility company, the refrigerator will turn on the GRID

MODE LED on the refrigerator control panel and regulate

power consumption according to the signal received. The

refrigerator will respond to the signals received from the

utility company as long as the appliance is connected to the

internet and Smart Grid is enabled.
