Get Your Home Ready for Summer

  • Published: June 1, 2012

Summer is the season of backyard BBQs and pool parties, but there's no need to feel overwhelmed by the party planning, cooking and cleaning. With the right home appliances to make things easier, you’ll have more time to enjoy the lazy days of summer with friends and family.

Stock the Fridge with Summer Essentials

The key to preparing for summer parties is stocking up your refrigerator with all the necessary snacks. You can prep food ahead of time and easily store it all with your 31.6 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator (RF323TE). Its large capacity allows you to keep all the fresh-cut veggies and fruit, drinks, ready-made sandwiches and more easily accessible and ready to go when needed.

Other features that will make preparing for your summer parties easier include:

  • The Ice Master and an additional in-freezer ice maker produce up to 12 pounds of ice per day* and store up to 10 pounds of ice, so you have a steady supply for all your summer gatherings.
  • Efficient LED lighting** brightens every corner, so you can quickly find the ingredients you need.
  • Dual-action cooling systems simultaneously keep refrigerator air at higher, near commercial grade humidity levels to keep fruits and vegetables fresh without affecting freezer air temperatures.
  • The CoolSelect™ Pantry™ provides a full-width pantry drawer with separate temperature controls for storing party platters, deli items, drinks and more.

*As compared to Samsung’s 2011 conventional LED lighting.
**Actual Dual Ice Master production and storage quantities are 11.8 pounds and 9.7 pounds respectively.

Cook Quickly and Efficiently

When it's time to cook, your Freestanding Flex Duo Oven (FE710) can take some of the pressure off you. Its unique design allows you to easily switch from a large single cavity to two smaller cavities with independently controlled temperatures (so you can cook hot wings and cookies at the same time).

You can also keep finished dishes heated in the warming bin while you cook others. The cooktop features five burners—one triple, one dual, two singles and one warming burner—giving you greater cooking flexibility.

The Speed Oven Microwave (SMK9175ST) is another brilliant kitchen helper. When you're trying to defrost frozen foods for the grill, don't bother guessing the amount of cook time needed. The auto-defrost feature considers the weight of the food being cooked, so all you'll have to do is select the weight. The microwave does the rest.

The large oven capacity (1.7 cubic feet) makes this model great for heating large dishes that can't be prepared in a traditional microwave. It also cooks much faster than conventional microwaves, thanks to the convection-microwave combo:

  • Fresh vegetables cook in less than two minutes.
  • You can bake two potatoes in just 11 minutes.
  • Defrost one food while programming a two-step recipe at the same time.
    • Spend Less Time Cleaning

      If your family’s summer days are spent by the pool or at the beach, then beach towels are sure to pile up in the laundry room. Have them washed, dried and ready to use in a flash with the Samsung WF457 Washer and DV457 Dryer. The large-capacity washer fits more laundry so you can do fewer loads and the dryer features 14 drying cycles so you can pick the right one to get those towels dried quickly.

      You can also control and monitor them both from your smartphone with the Smart Control app*—remotely start the washer and dryer and receive notifications when your laundry is done, whether you’re in the kitchen prepping the snacks or lounging by the pool.

      At the end of a long, exhausting day, the powerful Samsung DMT800 Dishwasher gives you some peace of mind so you can kick back and relax. It runs very quietly and the adjustable, tilting racks will accommodate all your dishes, including large serving platters and delicate glasses. The stainless steel tub lets you wash even the dirtiest dishes without worrying about staining, and it retains heat better than plastic, which saves drying time.

      *Wireless network required. Smart Control app available for iPhone 4/4S and Samsung Galaxy S/SII.
