Smart Grid Function
When the refrigerator operates in Smart Grid
mode, the Smart Grid function can control energy
usage or delay the operation of some functions to
save energy during peak usage periods.
You can override the Smart Grid function at
y
any time (using the Smart Grid button or the
smartphone application).
To use the Smart Grid function, you need to
y
register your appliance with your electric utility
company.
Using the Smart Grid Function
This feature responds to notification events
from your utility company to run high energy-
consuming tasks during off-peak periods when
demand is lower. These notification events are
known as Demand Response signals.
If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response
signal from the utility company, the refrigerator
will turn on the Grid LED on the refrigerator
display and control its power consumption
according to the signal.
The refrigerator will respond to the signals
received from the utility company as long as
product performance is maintained.
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 it
lasts for the amount of time 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 it
lasts for 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.

personal injury.
The icemaker will stop producing ice when
y
the in-door ice bin is full. If you need more
ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin
in the freezer compartment. During use,
the ice can become uneven causing the
icemaker to misread the amount of ice
cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the
ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce
this problem.
Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will
y
damage the icemaker.
Keep the ice compartment door closed
y
tightly. If the ice compartment door is not
closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will
freeze food in the refrigerator compartment.
This could also cause the icemaker to stop
producing ice.
If the icemaker is turned OFF for
y
an extended period of time, the ice
compartment will gradually warm up
to the temperature of the refrigerator
compartment. To prevent ice cubes from
melting and leaking from the dispenser,
ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the
icemaker is set to OFF for more than a few
hours.

32 HOW TO USE
ENGLISH
Automatic Icemaker
Depending on the model, some of the
following functions may not be available.
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent
to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce
50-80 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending
on freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.
It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly
y
installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait
72 hours for full ice production to occur.
Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin
y
is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds
approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz) glasses of ice.
Foreign substances or frost on the auto shutoff
y
(feeler arm) can interrupt ice production. Make

Food Storage Tips
The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight
and moisture-proof material unless otherwise
noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer
throughout the refrigerator. For dated products,
check date code to ensure freshness.
Food How to
Butter or
Margarine
Keep opened butter in a covered
dish or closed compartment.
When storing an extra supply,
wrap in freezer packaging and
freeze.
Cheese Store in the original wrapping
until you are ready to use it.
Once opened, rewrap tightly in
plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk Wipe milk cartons. For coldest
milk, place containers on
interior shelf.
Eggs Store in original carton on
interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit Do not wash or hull the fruit
until it is ready to be used. Sort
and keep fruit in its original
container, in a crisper, or store
in a completely closed paper
bag on a refrigerator shelf.
Leafy
Vegetables
Remove store wrapping and
trim or tear off bruised and
discolored areas. Wash in cold
water and drain. Place in plastic
bag or plastic container and
store in crisper.
Vegetables
with skins
(carrots,
peppers)
Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.
Fish Store fresh fish and shellfish
in the freezer section if they
are not being consumed the
same day of purchase. It is
recommended to consume
fresh fish and shellfish the
same day purchased.
Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap
or aluminum foil, or store in
plastic containers with tight lids.
Storing Frozen Food
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large
quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen
food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per
cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough
space in the freezer for air to circulate around
packages. Be careful to leave enough room at
the front so the door can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality
and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap
used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and
the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a
sealed package are normal. This simply means
that moisture in the food and air inside the
package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
NOTE
Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook
for further information about preparing food
for freezing or food storage times.
NOTE
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves
energy.

Storing Frozen Food (continued)
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct
packaging. When you close and seal the
package, it must not allow air or moisture in or
out. If it does, you could have food odor and
taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and
could also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting
y
lids
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
y
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
y
Plastic-coated paper
y
Non-permeable plastic wraps
y
Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic
y
bags
Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.
Do not use
Bread wrappers
y
Non-polyethylene plastic containers
y
Containers without tight lids
y
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
y
Thin, semi-permeable wrap
y
Adjusting the Refrigerator
Shelves
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable
to meet your individual storage needs. Your
model may have either glass or wire shelves.
Adjusting the shelves to fit items of different
heights will make finding the exact item you
want easier. Doing so will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open
which will save energy.
Detaching the Shelf
Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight
up. Pull the shelf out.
Assembling the Shelf
Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the rear
shelf hooks into the slots at the desired height.
Then, lower the front of the shelf so that the
hooks drop into the slots.
CAUTION
Make sure that shelves are level from
one side to the other. Failure to do so
may result in the shelf falling or food
spilling.

38 HOW TO USE
ENGLISH
Using the Folding Shelf
You can store taller items, such as containers
or bottles, by simply pushing the front half of
the shelf underneath the back half of the shelf.
Pull the front of the shelf firmly toward you to
return to a full shelf.
When Closing the Door
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves with
y
warm water while they are cold.
Shelves may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or
impact.
Glass shelves are heavy. Use special
y
care when removing them.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of door scratches
y
and breaking the center door mullion,
make sure that the refrigerator door
mullion is always folded in.
The door alarm will sound every 30
y
seconds if the door remains open
longer than one minute. Ensure that
the folding mullion is folded in before
closing the left-hand door.
