SMART REFRIGERATOR FEATURES Getting the Most from Your Smart Refrigerator Smart Functionality Your refrigerator offers two types of smart functionality: Smart Grid The Smart Grid feature allows your Smart Refrigerator to adjust or delay certain functions during times when energy prices or demand are the highest, which could save you money. Your Smart Refrigerator will go into a Smart Delay until energy rates go down. You can disable the Smart Delay and other Smart Grid Events at any time.

REFRIGERATOR CARE Cleaning WARNING Explosion Hazard Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately. IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors.
