Q:The "manual" (an 11" x 25" sheet of paper folded into thirds for 6 total "pages"), states on page 3 that the turntable may be turned off for manual cooking only. What are the step by step directions for doing this? I called the 800 number andthe rep couldn't figure out how to do it either. The sales man at Home Depot said turning off the turntable was a feature of this model. Model #SMH1622W Is there a manual specifically for this model microwave that I can have sent to me?

A:  Hi 4Gin, Thank you for reaching out, and we hope you are in good health. We appreciate your interest in Samsung home appliances, specifically with Samsung 1.6 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave in Stainless Steel. This particular microwave with model number SMH1622W does not have a switch to turn off the turntable. Each time that the microwave is in operation for cooking/heating, the turntable will operate as well. I have shared the user manual link below. Please access the link to access all the functions and features of the microwave. https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201712/20171229144745415/SMH1611_SMH1622_XAA_DE68-03898A-01_EN-MES.pdf Please feel free to communicate with us through the channels below if you have additional questions. 1.

    A:  Not sure that this model has a turntable that turns off. None that I can find anyway. You can always turn the glass turntable over so the gears don't engage if it's really necessary...

      A:  Thanks for the question. While several models of Samsung Over The Range Microwaves do have the option of turning the turntable off, the SMH1622S does not. A hard copy of the User Manual would have come packaged with the new microwave. A pdf copy of the full manual can be downloaded from Home Depot's website by clicking on the Use and Care Manual link on the product page. - Ms. Samsung

        A:  Hello. Thank you for reaching out regarding your Samsung 1.6 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave in White, if this is hardwired or plugged. Regarding your concern, this microwave needs to be plugged into a properly grounded 3-pronged outlet. Your oven should be the only appliance connected to this circuit.

          A:  The SMH1622W comes with a standard 3-prong cord factory-installed. It should be plugged into a dedicated 120V/60 Hz/20-amp outlet. Thanks for your interest, Ms. Samsung

            A:  All necessary hardware for install is included in the box with the microwave (short of any ducting you need to run the vent through the roof or back wall). The recommended "install hardware Kit" really needs to be listed online as "install service." I too was confused when ordering.

              A:  All parts and hardware, needed to install the microwave are included. Only exception may be if you plan to use the blower to vent to a duct to the roof or a back wall. May need additional hardware in that case. The recommended "installation kit" is really an "installation service" offered by Home Depot.

              by|May 3, 2023

              A:  I believe that is the charge for installation. I installed it myself and did not require anything that was not in the box.

                A:  if you have an existing over the counter unit, the install is easy. Be sure the mounting holes and screws are identical. I paid $ 79 for install and watched the techs, it was simple. You will need 2 people to mount it since it's bulky.

                by|May 3, 2023

                  A:  Thank you for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot. $99 is the charge for installation of the microwave. For any other questions, please call our Appliance Hotline 1-800-455-3869.

                  by|May 3, 2023

                  A:  Not sure what extras you are referring to, but everything necessary was included with the one I just bout and had installed. It was complete.

                      A:  It is black. I find that's better for keeping it clean, since black plastic is easier to clean than stainless steel.

                            A:  Thanks for your interest. The handle on the SMH1622S Over The Range Microwave is black. If you prefer for the handle to match the stainless steel door, rather than complement the black accents, you may want to consider the SMH1713S; the handle on this model is painted to match the stainless steel. - Ms. Samsung

                              A:  While Samsung is a South Korean company, we have offices and manufacturing worldwide to meet the growing demands of our global customers. At this time I'm unable to confirm where particular models are being manufactured. The SMH1622B and other Samsung microwaves do come packaged with the mounting bracket and other hardware, as well as the template and instructions. Thanks for your interest, Ms. Samsung

                                  A:  Hi ajcabral. Thank you for reaching out regarding your Samsung 1.6 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave in Stainless Steel on what is the diameter size duct is needed to vent the microwave from the outside. Regarding your concern, if you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 3 ¼˝ x 10˝ rectangular or 6˝ diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet. Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT. The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 3 ¼˝ x 10˝ rectangular duct. If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 6˝ diameter duct. Maximum duct length: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3 ¼˝ x 10˝ rectangular or 6˝ diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet. I suggest you check this link to your installation manual for further assistance.

                                      A:  This is specifically used for over the range, not on a counter; it has the vent and light mechanisms underneath the microwave, so its not intended for countertop use.

                                        A:  Thanks for your interest in Samsung microwaves. We do not currently have counter top models available. The SMH1622B and other Over The Range models have exhaust fans and cooktop lighting built into the bottom of the microwave, so they should not be used while sitting on top of the counter. - Ms. Samsung

                                            A:  This is the Home Depot "install service" NOT necessary hardware to self install. All hardware for install (short of ducting if you want to vent to outside) is included in the box. I had to call and ask.

                                            by|May 3, 2023

                                              A:  The only extra equipment you would need is if you DID NOT already have an Over the Range Microwave and wanted to vent to the outside. This microwave has (3) three options for venting, 1.) through the top, 2.) through the back, or 3.) recirculating. I chose recirculating because I only had a light above my range and did not want to rip out a wall to get it vented outside.

                                              A:  no. they add the cost to it at the end. installation and parts cost about $80. It did for me anyway.

                                              by|May 2, 2023

                                              A:  No. No extra equipment is needed. This is the installation service offered by Home Depot. Everything you need is in the box. Unless you plan to vent the Microwave to the outside.

                                              by|May 3, 2023

                                              A:  Sometimes its installation, sometimes is haul-away. It usually explains it when you click into the charge I think. Here is their info: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/catalog/servlet/ContentView?pn=Appliance_Delivery_Installation&storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053

                                              A:  There was not extra mounting equipment that was not included with the unit as shipped. Just had mine installed last week.

                                              by|May 2, 2023

                                                A:  There isn't any. Everything is included (I installed it myself and didn't need anything that didn't come in the box). What you're seeing, I believe, is a charge for installation, not for extra parts. If you install it yourself, you don't pay that, and you need to uncheck it during checkout.
