INSTALLATION

The preferred location for the module installation is on top of the clothes dryer.

Details on how to connect the cables to the module are in the instructions that come with the module.

Delay EP Override

This option allows your smart washer to automatically engage the “e”WASH setting when overriding a Delay EP and starting a cycle during a Critical or High Rate period. The default setting is YES.

Wait 5 minutes; then press the Settings button. Scroll and look for the energy management screen as seen below.

This screen means the module is attached correctly and you can begin to use your Smart appliance following the instructions below.

If the Energy Management Screen is not available, refer to the SAM module troubleshooting guide.

QUICK GUIDE

There are 4 power levels available: Critical, High, Normal and Low. On the Normal and Low levels, the unit runs as normal. The following steps show how the unit reacts during startup at Critical and High power levels.

Option 1 (Delay EP)

During startups at Critical and High levels, the unit will delay starting until the level becomes Medium or Low. Press the START/PAUSE button.

Option 2 (Override Delay EP)

When Delay EP is shown, the delay function can be overridden by pressing the DELAY START button. Pressing the START/PAUSE key will begin the selected cycle with “e”WASH enabled. The “e”WASH indicator will be illuminated.

During a Critical Rate period, the Critical Response Mode** will also be activated to maximize energy savings. EP will be displayed.

Option 3 (Override "e" WASH)

After overriding the delay function, pressing the “e”WASH button will disable the “e”WASH setting. Pressing the START/ PAUSE key will begin the selected cycle.

During a Critical Rate period, the Critical Response Mode** will be activated to maximize energy savings. EP will be displayed.

**Note: The Critical Response Mode can be disabled at any time by pressing and holding the “e”WASH Button for 3 sec- onds. EP will be removed from the display

Auto-Extend Delays

If a timed delay is selected, this option allows for the scheduled start to extend if the utility rate is Critical or High at the scheduled start. The default setting will automatically extend these cycles.

Critical Rate Option

This option allows your smart appliance to respond to Critical Rate information by automatically engaging the Critical Response Mode. The Critical Response Mode is designed to maximize energy savings when a cycle is run during a Critical Rate period. The default setting is YES. Setting this option to NO will disable the Critical Response Mode.

In order for the demand response features on the appliance to work, additional equipment is required to be installed to interface with the local utility. Such equipment may be sold separately and/or is available through your utility as part of the pilot test program. Check with your utility company to see if a pilot test program is available in your area and for full details.

PLEASE NOTE: If you move to an area where the program is not available, the demand response features cannot be activated and utilized on the appliance. The appliance will function as normal after the demand response equipment has been deactivated or disconnected.
