Operations

SMART GRID Function (Demand Response)

When the refrigerator operates in SMART GRID (Demand Response) mode, the Energy Management Refrigerator function can control energy usage or delay the operation of some functions to save money when energy prices or demand are the highest.

NOTE

• You can deactivate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function at any time using the Override On/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 profile).

Using the SMART GRID (Demand Response) Function

This feature monitors energy prices 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.

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: Turns on "DAL" icon) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (Display: Turns on "TALR" icon) 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, it turns on the "DAL" icon 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 Override key is pressed.

- Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (L4): The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period. This function reduces energy consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and making ice.

- When the refrigerator operates in TALR (L4) mode, it turns on the "TALR" icon on the refrigerator display.

English30

- TALR (L4) mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the received duration (max. 15 minutes), or when the Override key is pressed. The mode is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to the normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.

To check the MAC address

In this mode, the MAC address appears in the temperature panel (on both the freezer and the fridge sections of the panel) sequentially for 1 minute.

1. Press and hold both Freezer and Fridge for 6 seconds. The temperature panel blinks. Then, press Freezer again to display the MAC address. The fridge beeps.
2. For example, if the MAC address is "11-22-33-44-55-66", the temperature panel displays the address for 1 minute in this sequence: "-- / --" → "11 / 22" → "33 / 44" → "55 / 66" → "-- / --".
   After 1 minute, the MAC address disappears and the temperature panel returns to the normal state.

NOTE

The temperature panel displays “-- / --” for an unknown MAC address or if a Wi-Fi connection is not established or is lost.

Override Mode

When you want the refrigerator to ignore the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal from the utility company, you can activate OVERRIDE mode.

When you activate OVERRIDE mode, the refrigerator ignores the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal and is not controlled by the utility company.

Activating and deactivating Override mode

1. Press and hold Override for 3 seconds.
2. A chime sounds and 'Or' and 'on' is displayed in the fridge and freezer temperature displays for 5 seconds.
3. If the refrigerator receives a SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal from the utility company, 'Or' is displayed in the freezer temperature display.
4. To deactivate OVERRIDE mode, press and hold Override for 3 seconds.
5. A chime sounds and 'Or' and 'oF' is displayed in the fridge and freezer temperature displays for 5 seconds.

Operations

CAUTION

• Some models have a single ice maker. For single ice-maker models, put the ice bucket to the right of the ice maker. Positioning the ice bucket to the left causes ice to store outside of the ice bucket.
• Leaving the water line disconnected may cause the water valve to produce a buzzing sound over time. If this occurs, make sure to turn the ice making function off.
• If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact the waterline installer or a local Samsung service center.
• Do not press Test repeatedly after the ice bucket is filled with ice or water. Water may overflow or ice may jam.
• Do not put food in the ice bucket. The frozen food may damage the ice maker, especially when you open or close the door.
• When the refrigerator recovers power after a power failure, the ice bucket may contain a mix of melted and jammed ice cubes, which can prevent the ice maker from working properly. To prevent this, make sure to empty the ice bucket before using the refrigerator.
• Do not put fingers or any objects into the ice maker. This can cause physical injury or property damage.
• Due to sublimation, ice stored in the freezer for a long time gets smaller and then forms large ice chunks. To prevent this, if you will not be using ice for a long time, turn the ice maker off as described below.

Ice Maker Off

If you press and hold Cocktail Ice and Standard Ice for 3 seconds to turn the ice maker off, make sure to remove all ice cubes from the ice bucket. Remaining ice cubes may clump together, making it difficult to remove them.
