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.
