Using Smart Grid (Demand Response) Mode
In this mode, the Energy Management Refrigerator function can control energy usage or delay some operations to save money when energy prices/demand are highest.

NOTE

• You can deactivate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function any time with the Override On/Off function.)
• To use SMART GRID, you need to register with your electric company, which must have an EMS (Energy Management System) that supports SEP (Smart Energy profile).

This feature monitors energy prices and demand data from your utility company and notifies the fridge to run high-energy-consuming tasks when cost/demand are lower.
If the utility company signals the fridge, the DAL (L3) – TALR (L4) levels appear on its display, and the fridge adjusts power consumption accordingly.
After receiving a SMART GRID signal (DAL or TALR), the fridge operates in Delay Appliance Load (Display:L3), or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (Display:L4) mode.

NOTE
Any control-signal adjustments made are maintained as long as the fridge receives power. If power is interrupted, you must reconfigure the app to receive signals again.

Checking the MAC Address

delay period; DAL controls large energy-consumption operations (e.g., adjusting cooling system, running defrost cycle, making ice).

• In DAL mode, “L3” appears on fridge display.
• DAL mode self-deactivates when timespan stipulated by DAL signal (max 4.5 hr) is met, or when Override is pressed.

Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (L4)| Fridge responds by sharply, briefly reducing load; TALR reduces energy consumption by stopping compressor and controlling large energy-consumption operations (e.g., defrost cycle, making ice).

• In TALR mode, “L4” appears on fridge display.
• TALR mode immediately self-deactivates when timespan (max 15 min) stipulated by TALR signal is met, or when Override is pressed; fridge resumes normal operation when door is opened/closed, or dispenser is used.

In performing this procedure, the MAC address displays on the fridge control panel (Freezer and Fridge readouts) sequentially for 1 minute. To verify the MAC address

1. Press-hold simultaneously Freezer and Fridge about 6 sec’s. The temperature panel blinks.
2. Press Freezer again to display the MAC address. The fridge beeps.

If the MAC address is 11-22-33-44-55-66, the temperature display shows the address for 1 minute in this sequence: — / — > 11 / 22 > 33 / 44 > 55 / 66 > — / –. Then the MAC address disappears, and the temperature display shows freezer and fridge temperatures again.

NOTE
The temperature display shows “– / –” if the MAC address is unknown, or if a Wi-Fi connection is not established or is lost.

Using Override Mode
Activate Override mode when you want the refrigerator to ignore the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal from the utility company. In Override mode, fridge operations are not controlled by the utility company.

• To activate Override mode, press-hold Energy Saver for 3 seconds. A buzzer sounds; Or/on (Override on) appear in the Freezer/Fridge temp displays for 5 sec’s. NOTE
  If the fridge receives a SMART GRID signal from the utility company, Or appears on the freezer temp display.

• To deactivate Override mode, press-hold Energy Saver for 3 sec’s. A buzzer sounds, and Or/oF (Override off) appear on the Freezer/Fridge temp displays for 5 sec’s.

NOTE
You can activate/deactivate Override mode with the Dacor iQ Kitchen app and the Energy Management function (next section.)

Using Energy Management
This lets you control/monitor your EM refrigerator with the Dacor iQ Kitchen app.

• View freezer/fridge temp settings
• Receive an alarm when freezer/fridge door is open 2 min’s
• Check DR and Override statuses
• Check operational status of ice maker

Remote management|

• Activate Power Freeze and Power Cool functions
• Set Ice On/Off function
• Control ice maker

Energy- consumption reporting| Shows collected energy-consumption data (updated every 10 min’s); NOTE: Energy-consumption report may differ from fridge’s power-consumption spec’s depending on operating environment and stored food
Delay Defrost| Saves energy by delaying defrost to a user-specified period, during which this function saves energy over a 24-hr cycle; if no period is set, Delay Defrost uses default settings: 6 am – 10 am, 1 Nov to 30 Apr and 3 pm – 7 pm, 1 May to 31 Oct

Dispensing Water/Ice
You can dispense water with/without ice. The dispenser has three options: chilled water, cubed ice, and crushed ice.

To disable the ice dispenser, press-hold Cubed/Crushed Ice for 3 seconds. (Empty the bucket, so the ice in it does not clump together and become difficult to remove.)
To dispense water and ice

1. With the ice maker enabled, press Cubed/Crushed Ice to select the ice type. The indicator for the selected ice type appears on the control panel.
2. Put a water glass on the dispenser ledge, and press it against the top of the dispenser lever. Ice falls from the dispenser mouth (as long as you press the lever).
3. Remove the glass, and press Water.
4. Press the glass against the dispenser lever. Water dispenses (as long as you press the lever).

NOTE

• When dispensing, hold glasses directly under the outlet; when finished, wait 2 sec’s before removing your glass.
• If you push the lever continuously for 1 min., dispensing stops. To continue, release and push the lever again.
• If the dispenser is inactive for 2-3 days, the water normally has an odd smell/taste. Discard the first quart of water.
• The basin on the dispenser ledge does not have a drain nor can it be removed; do not pour/dispense water into the basin. Wipe up any water/ice that collects there.

Using the Ice Maker
The built-in ice maker dispenses cubed/crushed ice. This procedure instructs you how to make ice and ensure the ice bucket is continuously filled.

1. (After installation) Let the fridge operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.
2. Dispense 4–6 ice cubes into a glass.
3. Wait 8 hours, then dispense 4–6 more ice cubes.
4. Wait 16 hours, then dispense the first glassful of ice.

NOTE

• If you use all the ice at once, you need to wait 8 hours for the ice bucket to refill.
• Ice cubes generated rapidly may look white—this is normal.

Troubleshooting

If ice does not dispense, inspect the ice maker.

1. Remove the cover that houses the ice-making mechanism.
2. Press the test button (previous graphic) on the side of  the ice maker. A chime sounds. A second chime sounds if the ice maker is operating properly.

CAUTION

• If the ice-maker chimes repeatedly, contact the waterline installer or a Dacor service center.
• Do not press the test button repeatedly after the ice tray is filled with ice/water. Water may overflow or ice may jam.
• Do not put food in the ice bucket. The food may damage the ice maker, especially when you open or close the door.
• When power returns after an outage, the ice bucket may contain melted/jammed ice cubes, which can keep the ice maker from working properly. To prevent this, empty the ice bucket before using the fridge.
• Avoid injury or property damage: Do not insert foreign objects  (incl. fingers) in the dispenser outlet or ice maker.
• When reinserting the ice maker tray, carefully center the tray to keep it from getting stuck.

The refrigerator has an automatic door-closure system. A few inches from closing, both doors slow then close gently. This eliminates slamming and rattling contents, and ensures the doors do not remain ajar.

Adjusting the Shelves
The refrigerator’s shelves are made of tempered glass framed with metal.

1. Fully open the corresponding door.
2. Grasp the shelf by its forward edge, gently lift upward, and pull the shelf out of the notches.
3. With the shelf positioned before the desired notches, hold the front of the shelf slightly higher than the rear
4. Insert the upper hooks into the same-level notches in the columns at the rear of the compartment.
5. Lower the forward edge of the shelf so the lower hooks enter the next notches down in the columns.

Adjusting the Bins/Drawers

Door Bins
The freezer/refrigerator compartments have several storage bins attached to the doors. These bins are adjustable and removable.

• To remove a door bin, grasp each side of the bin, and lift to clear its guides.
• To install a bin, grasp each side of the bin, and align its guides with the desired guides on the door, then press downward until you feel the bottom of the bin contact the bottom of its guides.

CAUTION
The dairy bin at the top of the refrigerator-compartment door has a top- hinged door that swings up/down for access to items inside it. To avoid appliance damage, close the dairy-bin door before you close the fridge door.

Drawers
The drawers at the bottom of the freezer/refrigerator compartments are removable.

• To remove a drawer, pull the drawer forward until it stops fully open, then lift the front of the drawer slightly to clear the forward stop, and pull the drawer out.
• To install a drawer, align its guides with the corresponding tracks in the freezer/refrigerator compartment, and push the drawer in until fully closed.

Replacing the Water Filter
When the water filter needs replacing, the filter indicator on the refrigerator control panel appears in red.
To replace the water filter

1. Close the water valve to turn off water to the refrigerator.
2. Open the grill cover at the top of the refrigerator.
3. Twist the water filter to the left (see the graphic) until it stops, the pull it down and clear of its receiver.
4. Aligning the notches in the new filter with those in the receiver, insert the filter up into the receiver, and twist to the right until it stops.
5. Close the grill cover, and press-hold Water on the control panel for 3 seconds. The water-filter life-cycle detector resets; the filter indicator goes out.
6. Open the water valve, and run water through the dispenser for 7 minutes. (This removes impurities and air from the water line.)

NOTE—After Replacing the Filter

• Water may spurt from the dispenser, indicating air is in the waterline. This issue will quickly resolve itself.
• Water may drip briefly from the dispenser. Simply wipe up the water with a dry towel.

WARNING

• Use only Dacor-provided/-approved filters. (For details, call Dacor customer service or a Dacor dealer.
• Unapproved filters may leak and damage the fridge, creating electric-shock risk. Dacor is not responsible for personal injury/appliance damage caused by third-party water filters.
