20 SMART FUNCTIONS
Smart Grid Function
When the freezer operates in Smart Grid mode, the
Smart Freezer function can control energy usage or
delay the operation of some functions to save energy
during peak usage periods.
• You can override the Smart Grid function any time
(using the Smart Grid button or application).
• To use the Smart Grid function, you need to register
your appliance with your electric utility company.
Smart Grid Application Features
Smart Saving_Demand Response
You can lower energy usage based on Demand
Response (DR) signals from the utility company.
If the freezer is operating in Smart Saving mode
according to the DR signal, you can see a pop up.
Seasonal Energy Savings
Lower energy usage based on time period.
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 freezer receives a Demand Response signal
from the utility company, the freezer will turn on the
Grid LED on the freezer display and control its power
consumption according to the signal.
The freezer will respond to the signals received from
the utility company as long as product performance is
maintained.
If the freezer receives a Demand Response signal,
the freezer will operate in Delay Appliance Load
(DAL) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction
(TALR) mode.
Delay Appliance Load (DAL)
The freezer 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 freezer operates in DAL mode, the Grid
LED is illuminated on the freezer 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 freezer 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 freezer operates in TALR mode, the Grid
LED is illuminated on the freezer 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 freezer 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 freezer is in
Smart Grid mode.
When you override the Smart Grid function, the
freezer 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.
