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.

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.

Signal

Description

Delay 

Appliance 

Load (L3)

Fridge responds with moderate load reduction during 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.

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).

•  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.
