Smart products operate based on your schedule and daily

your Kenmore Smart products on one app, all from trusted
brands, from a smart phone, tablet or computer.
This appliance is a connected-ready appliance, allowing
you to remotely monitor and control it from your smart
phone via the Kenmore® Smart app.
T o get started, you will need the following:
• Kenmore Elite® Smart Appliance
• WI-FI home router connected to the internet
• Smart phone

The Smart Grid function controls energy usage which
helps you save energy during peak usage periods. Y ou
can override the SMAR T GR ID function at any time (using
the Smart Grid button or application).
Smart Grid responds to notification events from your
utility company to run high energy-consuming tasks only
during off -peak times when electrical demand is lower.
These notification events are known as Demand R esponse
(DR ) signals. If the refrigerator receives a DR signal from
the utility company, the refrigerator will turn on the GR ID
MODE LED on the refrigerator control panel and regulate
power consumption according to the signal received. The
refrigerator will respond to the signals received from the
utility company as long as the appliance is connected to
the internet and Smart Grid is enabled.
