Key Features

Bespoke Design & Panel Customization

The Samsung Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator features a modern design with customizable panels. The image displays the refrigerator with white panels on the top two doors and navy blue panels on the bottom two doors. These panels are sold separately, allowing users to personalize the refrigerator's appearance to match their kitchen decor and personal style.

Spacious Interior & Capacity

With a generous 23 cubic feet capacity, this refrigerator offers ample space for groceries and large items. Its thoughtful interior layout, including adjustable shelves and spacious bins, allows for efficient organization. The design accommodates bulky items, such as a 14-pound turkey, without issues, making it suitable for families and entertaining.

Clearances and Installation Considerations

When installing the refrigerator, it is crucial to check all clearances. This model is not designed to be flush with the wall due to a rear component that extends approximately 4-5 inches. This design allows the doors to open fully without hitting adjacent cabinetry. Ensure adequate space on the sides and top for proper ventilation and door swing. The control panel is located at the top of the refrigerator, which may require careful consideration for built-in installations.

Beverage Center

The integrated Beverage Center provides convenient access to chilled water. It features both a manual water spigot and an auto-fill pitcher. For the auto-fill pitcher to function correctly, it must be slid into its designated slot precisely. If resistance is felt or the pitcher is not fully seated, it may not auto-fill. Users may need to manually press the activation button on the back of the pitcher's slot to initiate filling if it doesn't start automatically. Ensure the pitcher is pushed all the way back for optimal performance.

Dual Auto Ice Maker

The dual auto ice maker, producing two different types of ice. It has a high ice production capacity, ensuring a steady supply. To prevent ice from falling out the back of the bins when scooping, it is recommended to pull the ice forward in the bin before scooping. This simple action helps to contain the ice and minimize spills. Both ice types can be independently turned on or off as needed.

SmartThings Integration

The refrigerator integrates with Samsung's SmartThings app, allowing for remote monitoring and control. While basic settings can be adjusted via the internal control panel, the app offers a more convenient way to manage features like temperature settings for the fridge and freezer modes. The app also provides useful alerts, such as notifications if a door is accidentally left open.

2. Leveling: Use the adjustable leveling feet to ensure the refrigerator is perfectly level. This prevents door alignment issues and ensures proper operation.
