A:AnswerAnother good question...yes, the RF4289 does have a speaker built-in so you can listen to your favorite Pandora Radio mixes right from the fridge!

A:AnswerAt this point in time the only available apps for the RF4289 are those that come pre-loaded: Memo, Epicurious Recipes, Picasa Photos, WeatherBug, Calendar, AP News, Pandora and Twitter. However, it is possible that more could be made available in the future, at which time it will be determined which of the available tools (WiFi, SD card, etc.) would be used to access them.
Thank you for your interest!
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerGreat question! Compared to the RF4287, the RF4289 features an 8" LCD Digital Display with built-in WiFi. The Apps that come pre-loaded are ideally suited for the kitchen: search for recipes on Epicurious or view photos from a memory card or your online Picasa photo album; check the day's weather through WeatherBug, the latest news headlines on AP News, or your family's schedule from Google Calendar; follow your favorites on Twitter or listen to them on Pandora Radio; and leave notes and reminders for yourself or your family with the Memo feature. Of course, the RF4289 also includes the same great features that have made the RF4287 so popular - the independently-controlled middle Flex Zone Drawer as well as Samsung's signature Twin Cooling Plus system, LED lighting, slim design space saving water filter and in-door water and cubed or crushed ice.
Thank you for your interest!
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThe Apps that have been included initially in the RF4289 LCD display with WiFi were chosen and developed specifically for their usefulness in the kitchen, allowing for activities like searching for recipes, weather, news and tweets, displaying notes and photos, checking the family's schedule and listening to music. Though no additional Apps or options such as browsing the web are available at this time, the display does feature the ability to be updated if other options do become available in the future.
Thank you for your interest, and for the suggestion,
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerTo switch from Crushed to Cubed ice on your RF4289HARS, touch the dispenser status icon on the home screen. When Cubed Ice is selected after using the Crushed ice feature, a small amount of residual crushed ice might be produced - this is normal. For more information, please refer to page 69 of the user manual.
Thank you,
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThe RF4289HARS also features built-in wifi, which can easily connect to your home's wireless network in order to access the available apps, including Pandora Radio, Google Calendar, Epicurious Recipes, Picasa Photo Album, WeatherBug, AP News and Twitter, in addition to the Memo feature.
Thanks for your interest!
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThanks for your interest in the RF4289HARS. The Memo app on the LCD screen cannot be sent to your phone or other device. We appreciate your comments and I'll be happy to share the suggestion with the appropriate team.

A:AnswerThe instructions for turning the ice maker on and off are on page 63 of the operating manual. The instructions are confusing because they use a double negative for the control.
You turn the ice maker on by using the settings on the display. On the first page of the settings screen the 5th item says "ICE MAKING OFF" and to the right you will see a button that says on/off. Press the OFF side - this will turn the ice maker on. If the ON button is highlighted in yellow, that means the ice maker is off and it won't make ice.
I hope this helps.
A:AnswerThanks for your question. It isn't unusual for products or features to change between the time the concept is introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show and when it's actually available to purchase, and there are a number of factors that come into play that influence those changes.
At this point in time the apps that come pre-installed on the RF4289 are the only ones that are available, and are ideally suited for the kitchen: manage the contents of your refrigerator with the Grocery Manager app; search for recipes on Epicurious or view photos from a memory card or your online Picasa photo album; check the day's weather through WeatherBug, the latest news headlines on AP News, or your family's schedule from Google Calendar; follow your favorites on Twitter or listen to them on Pandora Radio; and leave notes and reminders for yourself or your family with the Memo feature. I can't tell you whether the selection will be expanded in the future, but if it is, instructions for adding them will be made available.
We do appreciate your interest and I'll be sure to share your comments with the appropriate team.
