Using Smart Grid
This feature monitors energy price and demand information from
your utility company and sends notifications to the refrigerator to
run high energy-consuming tasks during off-peak times when
electricity costs and demand are lower. The Smart Grid icon will
appear on the dispenser display screen when the feature is active.
If the refrigerator receives a Smart Grid notification, it will
implement Smart Delay and/or Delay Ice.
Smart Delay: The Smart Delay feature adjusts cooling system
operations, the defrost cycle, and high energy-consuming
features such as Fast Ice.
Delay Ice: The Delay Ice feature temporarily stops ice production
for up to 4 hours, depending on the type of notification received.
The Delay Ice icon appears on the dispenser display screen.
■
To manually turn off the Smart Delay and Delay Ice features
and resume normal operation and ice production, press the
SMART GRID button on the dispenser control panel.
Smart Grid functionality and the Smart Delay and Delay Ice
features will turn off for 4 hours, and the Smart Grid and Delay
Ice icons will both disappear from the display screen.
NOTE: After 4 hours have passed, the Smart Grid feature will
automatically reactivate. To manually reactivate before 4 hours
have passed, press the SMART GRID button.
