A: Hello Thomas, the KMLS311HSS does come with Filler kits Filler Panel Kits are available from your dealer to use when installing this microwave oven in a 36" (91.4 cm) or 42" (106.7cm) wide opening.

Q: What the CMF?

A: 500

Q: Hi - is it possible to clean the carbon filter or are replacements required? If so, where are they sold? Great microwave, such a difference with the additional height above the stove, plus looks sharp. Thank you!

A: You can clean by mixing hot water with some dishwashing detergent have a pan big enough for the filters to fit in so you can completely submerge your carbon filter inside of the pan or bucket whatever you choose to use. Let them soak for about 15 minutes and then shake the filter from side to side and then back to front while it’s submerged this will loosen up any dirt and grime particles inside then rinse off the filters under hot water shaking the whole time make sure it is well rinsed you can place them in the sun to dry. You would probably have to clean them every 60 or 90 days. But if you look in the back of your owners manual there’s a list of supplies that you can buy and I think the carbon filters were listed in there and where to buy them they are pretty cheap.

    Great Microwave

    This microwave is replacing our old OTR microwave from 2007. In comparison, the inner dimensions are wider and deeper, but a little shorter. We can fit everything we normally put in the microwave, and there is plenty of room for a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup. The inside wipes down easily. The light is excellent, very bright, with a High and Low setting. The fan is very powerful with 4 settings to choose from - High, Medium, Medium Low, Low. The front of the microwave does show finger prints easily, but with the sleek look and the hidden keypad buttons, it’s simple to wipe down. Installation will require 2 people to lift and get it hooked into the bracket. The new standard sized microwaves are too long top to bottom and reduce your cooking space underneath, so this low profile microwave is excellent to open up more usable space between the stove and the bottom of the unit.

    Who’d Thought

    Our new hood has been installed and use now for awhile now. First the price as a whole is very high. With that said, for us it saved me from doing all the vent work to the roof. That has some value. Was an outstanding choice for our pot filler as well, with the hood only being 10 inches instead of 20 or 30. The is Geeat on low or high, The fan outstanding, 500 cfm. Some vented hoods are only 300-400. All in all it’s exactly what we wanted. O ya, kinda important we don’t use microwaves. But Mom and Dad live with us and they use it like cray. They love it. Pop says it’s heats his of coffee up like a champ. Overwhelmingly recommend. USMC/USAF Ret.

    A new spin on over range microwave ovens

    I’ve had several GE over range microwaves over the past 3 decades and they really haven’t changed much over the years. They were all big, bulky and not particularly nice to look at. This KitchenAid machine is a departure from that. It has a very sleek design without an exposed keypad. You can operate it just fine with the few buttons that are exposed with the door closed but don’t worry, the keypad with all it’s features is there, hidden but accessible once you open the door. There is a button that pops the door open electronically or you can pull it from a recessed cavity underneath. No handles on the machine which improves its appearance. . The machine 6 or 7 inches shorter than a standard which affords you more space to access your range and show off your backsplash tiles. The microwave protrudes out a few inches more than what you may be used to and the van vent blows up out of the top instead of the top of the face like standard microwaves. The inside space is still generous and can fit most dishes but it’s shorter and a tall bottle may be a problem. Baby bottles may not fit standing up, I haven’t had an opportunity to use it that much but it’s been a pleasure to look at and it appears to be really well made. There is a less fancy whirlpool version that is cheaper that could be a good option. I got this on sale which did help with the decision and it matches nicely with my kitchenaid suite of appliances. Best Buy has always been great to deal with for my appliance purchases but right now, appliances are in short supply and it takes some shopping around just to find them.
