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.

RF268AB specifications

The Samsung RF268AB is a standout model in the realm of French door refrigerators, offering an array of features that combine style with functionality. This refrigerator is designed to accommodate modern lifestyles, providing ample storage space and advanced technologies that enhance food preservation.

One of the key highlights of the RF268AB is its spacious interior, which features a total capacity of 26 cubic feet, allowing users to store groceries and perishables effortlessly.

Additionally, the system prevents freezer burn, which is a common issue in many refrigerators.

Another impressive feature of the RF268AB is the external water and ice dispenser, offering convenience at your fingertips. Users can enjoy chilled filtered water and ice without having to open the refrigerator door, which helps maintain the ideal temperature inside. The dispenser is designed to accommodate larger containers, allowing for easy filling of pitchers and bottles.

Furthermore, this model incorporates a digital display panel that allows users to adjust temperatures and settings with ease. With its sleek, stainless steel finish, the RF268AB is not only functional but also adds a touch of modern elegance to the kitchen.
