The SMH1611W can be set up to filter and recirculate air from the cooktop into the room by following instructions in the installation manual which can be downloaded from this link:
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...
Please note that these instructions are the same for all Samsung over the range microwaves, including the SMH1611W, though it is important to confirm the blower is angled appropriately for your desired venting.

Thank you,

Thanks for the question. Instructions for replacing the charcoal filter on the SMH1611 can be found on page 20 of the user manual, which can be downloaded as a pdf file from this website. In order to remove the grill from the front of the microwave, some models require sliding it to the left after removing the screws, but before pulling it out toward you. The slot for inserting the charcoal filter is located behind the grill.

If you require further assistance, please use the Live Chat option on the support page or call 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you.

Question

Control panel random malfunction

My microwave control panel will randomly go mad, so pushing one button (say potato) will active another function (say turn on the vent fan). One thing for sure, no button will stop the madness, and reset it to normal!

It was purchased in Dec 2011, and installed two weeks ago (out of warranty). When it was just installed, we noticed that the "Stop/Canel" button doesn't work during cooking. We have to open the door first. I thought it was by design, but now I suspect it was the first sign of malfunction.

Thank you for the question. Samsung does not make trim kits for the microwave. I would suggest contacting your cabinet maker or a kitchen designer for assistance.

Thanks for the question. Both the noise level and the flickering light could be caused by issues that you can correct yourself. If there are any loose connections in the installation of the venting (if external) or the blower motor or adapter, or if the grease or charcoal filters, vent cover, screws, turntable or roller guide ring are not installed securely, this could cause a rattling noise. If the light bulb needs to be replaced, if it is not screwed in securely, or if the microwave is not connected to a dedicated 20-amp outlet that is functioning properly, this could cause the bulb to flicker.

Please check each of these possible causes. If the issues persist, service may be necessary. To initiate service through Samsung, please submit your contact information to our support team through the link below, or call 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you.

Question

Are all of your over-the-range microwave ovens compatible when replacing range hoods that are not vented externally?

My current range hood does not have an external vent. Instead, it just returns the air into the room after it has been filtered. Is the SMH1611W suitable if there is not a vent?

Yes, the SMH1611 and other Samsung over the range microwaves can be set up to recirculate filtered air into the room, or they can be installed for external venting. The installation manual provides instructions for both types of venting.

I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty installing the charcoal filter. Perhaps you'll find the instructions on page 20 of the SMH1611 user manual more descriptive. If you have a particular question about the instructions or are unable to complete one or more of these steps, please submit a new question with more details. We appreciate your feedback.

The SMH1611 has an Auto Defrost feature. Simply press the Auto Defrost button then enter the weight of the item you're defrosting using the number pad and press Enter/Start. For more information and tips, please refer to page 12 of the user manual which can be downloaded as a pdf file from this website.

Question

Is it too late to extend a warranty on a 1 and a half old SMH1611W OTR Microwave?

Above-mentioned was serviced "just prior to warranty's end." I opted not to extent such because it excluded actual replacement labor. Now it needs service that seems identical to previous service. Give me a break.
