Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean Samsung microwave grease filters?
On Samsung over-the-range microwaves, the metal mesh grease filters slide out from the underside of the unit. Specifically, slide them out, wash in hot soapy water or place in the dishwasher top rack, rinse. Additionally, allow to dry completely before reinstalling. Furthermore, clean monthly.
Additionally, saturated grease filters restrict exhaust fan airflow and are a fire hazard.
How do I prevent my Samsung microwave from sparking?
Sparking results from food splatter on the waveguide cover, metallic residue on the cavity walls, or a foreign metallic object. Specifically, clean the waveguide cover (the flat beige or brown panel on the interior wall) with a damp cloth after every use. Never use metal in the microwave. Furthermore, replace a damaged waveguide cover immediately — do not use the microwave with a burned or blistered cover.
How do I remove odors from my Samsung microwave?
Place a microwave-safe bowl with 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or a sliced lemon inside. Specifically, run on full power for 3 minutes, then leave the door closed for 5 minutes. The steam loosens food residue and the vinegar or lemon neutralizes odors. Furthermore, wipe the interior with a damp cloth.
Additionally, for persistent odors, place an open box of baking soda inside overnight.
