Q: For the regular stainless steel option does this have the fingerprint plastic covering? I don't want the coating as it looks not great when it gets scratched then peels by actually living real life with it.

A: Thanks for asking, HuskieJohn! This model is not listed as having the fingerprint resistant coating. Generally, any Samsung model that does have this coating will have the color listed as "fingerprint resistant stainless steel". ^Jecca

A: The shelves on the refrigerator side are 17 1/2 inches wide by 15 1/2 inches deep. The shelves on the freezer side are 11 3/4 wide by 10 1/2 inches deep. Hope this helps!

Q: How do you change the refrig and freezer temperature settings

A: You can change setting on the right side wall in the refrigerator side.

Q: Can this refrigerator be used without wi-fi?

A: Thanks for asking, bestbuysforever! Yes, the refrigerator will function as a normal without a Wi-Fi connection. However, some of the added smart features will not be available. ^Jecca
