The Samsung over-the-range microwave with sensor cooking makes it easy to heat and is simple to clean.
A: This is hard to believe. I had a 12 year old Maytag that died, and got this as replacement. This Samsung has less wattage, so takes longer to heat things up. And you can’t even use the timer in conjunction with using the microwave. Again, my 12 year old Maytag did that. Seems like Samsung is turning the clock back here. Everyone in the house has tried it, and couldn’t do. We were certain there was a way. Nope. Ridiculous
Q: Using the timer independently of cooking something in the microwave?
A: The timer and microwave do not work together. You can only use one function at a time. My previous 15 year old microwave would do both at the same time, seems very odd that a brand new one wouldn't have this functionality.
A: No, do not remove either of the inserts. The cardboard looking material is called Mica and both inserts should be left inside the microwave. The rectangular one on the right is the Wave Guide Cover. The circular one on the top is the Stirrer Cover.
A: This microwave is designed to install under a standard 12" depth cabinet. The mounting holes are about 10" from the back of the cabinet. If you have face frame cabinets ( not a smooth bottom) you will need a spacer to fit between the cabinet bottom and the top of the microwave at the mounting screw location. A stack of washers would work or a small block of wood.
A: Yes you press the option button until the display says OP- 3 and then press 1 for beep on or 2 to turn the beep off. It will then prompt you to press start to confirm your settings changes.
Q: Can this vent upwards thru the top cabinet?
A: Yes, you can install the ME18H704SFS so it vents externally through the top or rear of the unit, or it can recirculate filtered air back into the room through the hidden vent. Thanks for your interest, Ms. Samsung
A: Did you remove the back panel and rotate the fan motor before installing? I almost missed that direction in the installation instructions. My fan works wonderfully.
Q: does this come with the mounting bracket?
A: Yes and a template too get it just right/
