Room to Indulge Your Food: Samsung 4-Door Flex Refrigerator Series

The new Samsung 4-Door Flex Refrigerator Series is the brand's premium range that is Made in Korea

The Samsung 4-Door Flex Refrigerator Series includes four models in both Stainless Steel and Classic Matte Black variants. They come equipped with features that are designed to meet the different lifestyle and eating habits of families, including quick and easy access to refreshingly cold water, as well as ensuring food items stay fresh, last longer and taste their best.

• Beverage Center™²
  The new Beverage Center™ can be found inside the upper-left door of the refrigerator. It consists of the In-Door Water Dispenser and an AutoFill Water Pitcher to provide consumers with two different ways to obtain hygienic, filtered cold water anytime.
  
  Consumers can have quick access to cold water via the In-door Water Dispenser, kept inside the refrigerator with lesser exposure to air to reduce contamination. It also features a stainless-steel nozzle that is detachable for easy washing.
  
  For consumers seeking a refreshingly chilled and naturally flavoured drink straight from the refrigerator, the BPA³- free 1.4L AutoFill Water Pitcher automatically fills up with purified water, and can be infused⁴ with your choice of fruits and herbs.

• Dual Auto Ice Maker²
  The Dual Auto Ice Maker makes regular cubed ice and Ice Bites™ in two separate ice makers to suit different preferences for cold beverages. Ice Bites™ are smaller and can chill drinks much faster—great for families with children. The Dual Auto Ice Maker makes up to 2.8kg of ice a day and has a large storage capacity of up to 3.1kg⁵.
• Superior Cooling Performance
  Keep food fresher for longer and preserve its natural flavour and taste with enhanced cooling features. A Triple Cooling system independently supplies cool air to three compartments in the fridge and freezer using three dedicated coolers. The system controls the temperature and humidity in each compartment to create optimal storage conditions and prevents odours from mixing.

• Precise Cooling also minimises any temperature fluctuation to just ±0.5°C to preserve the quality and texture of fresh food and prevent the effects of freezer burn. Food is kept fresh, even if the fridge door is opened frequently.
  
  And with Metal Cooling, the fridge's metal plate in the rear wall helps maintain the optimal internal temperature and prevents the loss of cool air whenever the door is opened.

Custom-Fit to Your Lifestyle

The new 4-Door Flex Refrigerator Series represents Samsung's continuous commitment to pioneering new innovations, helping consumers achieve the lifestyles that they desire through flexible, personalised offerings, including:

• Flexible Interior Storage¹
  Interior customisation is available thanks to its flexible shelving and drawer configuration which helps keep different foods fresh by creating optimal conditions.
  
  Samsung's signature FlexZone™, an independently controlled compartment that can effortlessly convert from a fridge to a freezer, provides users more customised food management options to accommodate different families' eating habits. With this feature, users can store a wide range of items based on five pre-set temperature modes: Freeze, Soft Freeze, Meat/Fish, Fruits/Veggies, and Beverage.
  
  The 4-Door Flex is also equipped with a temperature-adjustable Flex Crisper™ drawer, which is perfect for maintaining the freshness of fresh produce such as meat and fish, along with a Crisper+™ drawer which ensures fruits and vegetables retain moisture.

• Family Hub™: Perfect addition to today's connected kitchen
  The 4-Door Flex Family Hub™⁶ delivers a wide range of intelligent new features that provide a more personalised and interactive experience for everyone in the family.
  
  For a start, it features an intuitive 21.5-inch touchscreen that allows families to stay connected and entertained. Besides having the Family Board feature for users to share notes, photos, and videos with their family members, they can also enjoy endless entertainment straight from the kitchen by mirroring their smartphone⁷ and TV⁸ with SmartView or via entertainment apps⁹.
  
  Consumers can get recommendations on family meals with the Meal Planner app, as well as manage their fridge inventory more effectively via the View Inside feature which lets users peek into what is in their fridge remotely via their smartphones¹⁰. Additionally, the Smart Recipes app provides instant access to many delicious recipes with simple instructions. The fridge can also generate a shopping list for any missing ingredients that can be synced to users' smartphones¹⁰ for easy access when they are out shopping.
  
  The Family Hub^TM also serves as a command centre for all your smart devices at home. With the SmartThings app¹¹, users can manage all compatible smart devices¹², such as washing machines and robot vacuum cleaners right from the Family Hub^TM screen.

Timeless Design

The new 4-Door Flex refrigerators' classic and timeless aesthetics will fit right into your designer kitchen, as it will into your family's needs.

The fridge blends effortlessly into existing kitchen designs with its seamless built-in layout, with the thoughtfully hidden water dispenser and minimalist style. It features Samsung's signature flat door design and recessed handles that are treated with an antimicrobial coating that protects it from degradation by microorganisms¹³. The metallic finish is also fingerprint resistant.

For those who prefer a little pizzazz in the kitchen, the 4-Door Flex Family Hub™ can also display curated digital artworks, or offer other screen views to harmonise the refrigerator with the kitchen décor.

All in all, the Samsung 4-Door Flex Refrigerator Series is a great addition for households seeking a smart refrigerator that is custom-fit for their lifestyle needs.

Clean Station™: The Perfect Automated and Complete Cleaning Companion

Consumers who prefer a more hygienic and fuss-free cleaning solution can look forward to the Jet Bot+ as it is equipped with Clean Station™ that serves both as a charging dock and an automated dust disposal solution. Sit back, relax and let the Jet Bot automatically do all the cleaning and subsequent return to its own Clean Station™ to empty all dust¹⁴ and dirt into a 2.5L dust bag¹⁵ which lasts for up to 3 months¹⁶. Additionally, Clean Station™ is fitted with a Multi-layered Filtration System that traps 99.999% of fine dust¹⁷ for better hygiene without dust escaping back into the air.

Precise Navigation, Accurate Mapping with LiDAR sensor technology

The new Jet Bot comes equipped with a high-precision LiDAR Sensor, to clean your home more efficiently and thoroughly as it can accurately optimise its cleaning path by repeatedly scanning the room to gather distance information¹⁸. With precise mapping, the Jet Bot easily navigates underneath or around furniture, tight corners, and even lowly-lit spaces for an efficient and thorough clean¹⁹. It can also recognise individual rooms and automatically divide them into separate areas for cleaning.

Upgraded Wi-Fi® Smart Control ²⁰

With the SmartThings app²¹, users can stay in control and monitor their Jet Bot even when it is out of sight:

• Select and Go
  The Jet Bot's ability to recognise rooms and layouts allows users to choose and even remotely schedule it to clean selected rooms or areas to maximise efficiency and save time.

• No-go Zone
  Users can mark out no-go zones on their home's virtual map to stop the Jet Bot from entering specific rooms or areas. There is no need for physical barriers.

• Live Cleaning Report
  Users can easily check on their Jet Bot's current location or cleaning progress in real-time, allowing them complete visibility and control to issue any new cleaning commands remotely.

Powerful, Efficient and Hygienic Cleaning with Fewer Tangles

The Jet Bot comes well-equipped with tools that enable a fast and efficient cleaning process for all kinds of surfaces:

• High-Efficiency Brush with Self-Cleaning Grinder
  The Jet Bot is fitted with a High-Efficiency Brush that is made of soft woven textiles and anti-static threads that can reach deep into crevices to effectively remove fine dust and dirt on any types of floor including carpets and hard floors.
  
  The built-in Self-Cleaning Grinder also helps to break down hairs and pet fur into smaller particles to prevent dreadful tangles around the brush.

• Intelligent Power Control
  The Jet Bot is designed to be able to detect types of surfaces and amount of dust on them, to provide the optimum suction power to ensure a deeper clean when required.

• Hygiene Matters with Easy-to-Remove, Fully Washable Dustbin
  Maintaining the Jet Bot is simple and more hygienic with its detachable and fully washable dustbin and filter.
