Setting up your French Door Refrigerator

GETTING READY TO INSTALL THE REFRIGERATOR

Congratulations on your purchase of the Samsung French Door Refrigerator. We hope you enjoy the state-of-art features and efficiencies that this new appliance offers.

Selecting the best location for the Refrigerator

• A location with easy access to the water supply.

• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.

• A location with level (or nearly level) flooring.

• A location with enough space for the Refrigerator doors to open easily.

• Allow sufficient space for air circulation of the internal cooling system.

If the Refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling system may not work properly.

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

When you install the refrigerator next to a fixed wall, minimum clearance is 3 ¾” (95mm) between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.

First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your Refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways (both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.

Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

Do not install the Refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50ºF (10ºC).

Do not locate the refrigerator where it may become wet.

When moving your refrigerator

CAUTION To prevent floor damage, be sure the front adjusting legs are in the up position(above the floor).

Refer to ‘Adjusting the doors’ in the manual (on page 15).

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 328lbs (150kg). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working. When moving the refrigerator, be sure to pull it straight out and push it back straight in.

RF268ABWP specifications

The Samsung RF268ABWP is a standout model in the realm of side-by-side refrigerators, combining elegance with functionality. With a sleek stainless steel finish, it not only serves as an efficient appliance but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of any modern kitchen.

One of the main features of the RF268ABWP is its generous storage capacity, providing ample space for groceries and beverages. It boasts a 26 cubic feet capacity, making it ideal for families or those who frequently host gatherings. The organized interior includes adjustable shelves, allowing users to customize the layout according to their needs. The clear crisper drawers are designed to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for extended periods, while Gallon Door Bins provide convenient access to larger items.

This model is equipped with Samsung's innovative Twin Cooling Plus technology, which utilizes separate cooling systems for the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This ensures optimal humidity levels in the refrigerator while preventing odors from mixing between the two compartments. As a result, food retains its natural flavors and stays fresh longer.

Energy efficiency is another standout aspect of the RF268ABWP. It meets Energy Star standards, helping to reduce electricity consumption and lower utility bills. Samsung has incorporated efficient LED lighting throughout the refrigerator, which not only illuminates the interior but also consumes less energy compared to traditional lighting.

Another notable characteristic is the advanced ice maker that produces clear, restaurant-quality ice. The ice maker is located in the freezer compartment, ensuring that it does not take up valuable storage space in the refrigerator section.

The RF268ABWP also features a built-in water dispenser, providing instant access to filtered water directly from the fridge. This convenience not only promotes healthy hydration but also saves time compared to filling pitchers or other containers.

Furthermore, the external display panel offers intuitive controls, allowing users to adjust settings for temperatures, activate the ice maker, and even monitor filter status with ease.

Overall, the Samsung RF268ABWP is a blend of style, technology, and practicality. With its spacious design, energy-efficient features, and advanced cooling technologies, this refrigerator stands out as a reliable choice for any contemporary kitchen.
