Model WPDH8910 is compatible with the GE Demand
Response (DR) module which can be purchased
separately. Contact your local utility or visit
www.GEAppliances.com/demand_response to
see if your area is using DR technology.
The following demand response features are available
as part of a pilot test program with the local utility
company to help consumers reduce peak electricity
usage in the home.
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.
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 DR-enabled appliance following
the instructions below.
If the Energy Management Screen is not available, refer to
the DR module troubleshooting guide.
QUICK GUIDE
There are 4 power levels available: Critical, High, Medium
and Low. On the Medium 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 Eco)
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 Eco)
To start the washer when Delay Eco is shown, press the
DELAY START button to turn the delay off. Then press
START/PAUSE to begin the wash.
SETTINGS MENU
Press SETTINGS; then select Energy Management.
Delay Eco Override
If you are starting a cycle in a Critical or High utility rate,
this option allows the unit to automatically run on an Eco
Cycle. This setting will wash with less energy than normal
cycles. The default setting is YES.
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.
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: At the conclusion of the pilot test program
or 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.
