42 SMART FUNCTIONS
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.
• When the refrigerator operates in DAL mode,
the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator
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 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.
• When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode,
the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator
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 refrigerator
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
refrigerator is in Smart Grid mode.
When you override the Smart Grid function, the
refrigerator 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.
