NOTE
- You can deactivate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function at any time using the Peak Demand Off function.
- To use the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function, you need a separate contract with your electric utility company. In addition, to use the Smart Grid (Demand Response) function, you must register for the service with your electric company. The company must have an EMS (Energy Management System) that supports SEP (Smart Energy prole). Using the SMART GRID (Demand Response) Function This feature monitors energy prices and demand information from your utility company and sends notications to the refrigerator to run high energy consuming tasks during off- peak times when electricity costs and demand are lower. If the refrigerator receives a control signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will display the DAL (L3) ~ TALR (L4) levels on the refrigerator display and control the power consumption according to the level. [Exception condition] The DAL and TALR control signals from a utility company work as long as product performance is maintained. If the refrigerator receives the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal (DAL or TALR), the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (Display:L3) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (Display:L4) mode.
- Delay Appliance Load (L3): The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period. This function 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 (L3) mode, “L3” is displayed on the refrigerator display. - DAL mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the amount of time stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4.5 hours) or when the Peak Demand Off key is pressed. Untitled-4 53 2019-05-14 11:49:41Operations English54 Operations

Ice maker The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can enjoy ltered water with cubed or crushed ice. Ice making After you have installed your refrigerator and plugged it in, follow these instructions to ensure proper ice making and to keep the ice bucket full of ice:
1. Let the refrigerator operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.
2. Dispense the rst 4 to 6 ice cubes into a glass.
3. Wait another 8 hours and dispense another 4 to 6 ice cubes.
4. Then, wait another 16 hours and dispense the rst glass-full of ice.
Untitled-4 63 2019-05-14 11:49:43Operations English64 Operations NOTE
- If you consume all the ice at once, you must wait 8 hours before dispensing the rst 4 to 6 cubes. This ensures that the ice bucket is lled with ice properly.
