Questions & Answers

What is the slim fry option
ByApr 24, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hi Bobbythebull, It’s nice to see interest in using more of what your microwave can do. Slim Fry is one of the four auto modes on this microwave, offering eight pre‑programmed cooking options. There’s no need to set the cooking time or power level, just press the Slim Fry button and select the desired category. If you’d like a closer look, you can check out the Slim Fry guide on pages 27–28 of the user manual linked below. https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202309/20230915153033619/O_DE68-04367A-06_IB_FULL_MC12J8035CT_AA_EN_230831.pdf Hope this helps!

        Can you use the rack in microwave setting only? I presume combi cook employs both microwave and convection.

        Answer This Question

        Hi there, No, you can't use the rack in microwave mode. You can use the rack in the grill convection or combination cooking. Please see the "racks" section on page 12 of the user's manual for reference.

            The User Manual says (p10) "Place the oven on a flat level surface 33.5 inches (85 cm) above the floor." How can this oven be installed in a lower cabinet at all if the bottom has to be 33.5" above the floor?

              I want to install this 20.8"-wide microwave into a 24"-wide cabinet, but the #MA-TK3080CT trim kit is 30" wide. Is this trim kit somehow "trimmable" to fit in a 24" cabinet? Or can this microwave only be built-in to a 30"wide cabinet?

                  Cumbersome UI and Not Enjoyable
                  Hello dear Samsung. Please make this a better product by improving the user experience and user interface. The design does not allow for simple and intuitive controls but requires using your manual to look up how to do very simple tasks. It’s time-consuming and inconvenient. I much prefer my cheapo microwave over this one. Your product engineers and product developers are much better than this and have proven themselves over and over again. I’m surprised they forgot the simple stuff on this one. Rule of thumb: always make it both a child and a rocket scientist will enjoy using the product. This is cumbersome and not a fun experience. Thank you guys.

                        This is a great microwave. One major reason I can not give this five stars, which may sound petty, but there is no auto cook reference on the door label to cook vegetables. So, I have to go in search of a manual on line to figure out how to do this. I also find that cooking a pizza in it gets the job done on the cheese and toppings, but you end up with a soft cardboard crust that is not really cooked at all. The best feature I have found on this is its ability to defrost frozen meats perfectly without cooking it in the process. That is impressive! This unit is the perfect size to fit into a well ventilated 24" cabinet below counter level. I believe it is truly the only one sized to do this even though it is not recommended to be in a cabinet by the manufacturer with very little modification of the cabinet. Saves from having to purchase an overly expensive drawer type microwave. Project is not compete yet, but below is a picture of what I am working on as I remodel. Been using the microwave on the counter until I complete the installation. I would definitely recommend this microwave!

                        i was looking into combining a toaster oven with a mini grill and airfryer together to reduce on the number of devices in the cabinets and counter. that dream didnt work out. positive: - the appliance itself looks nice. its designed well from an esthetics point of view. but seeing it dented this bad for 3 devices in a row... - the autocook function is neat though. to make salmon on autocook allows for a nicely done salmon filet without it being dried out, yet cooked well. but that is one of the only very few positives i can say. notsogreat: - it doesnt toast very well on the grill or airfryer setting. so still have to get a toaster. - it doesnt allow for a custom time setting, so still need some sort of kitchen timer (or use the phone or so). - the microwave space height is limited (due to the grill element) so you cant put a baby bottle in there easily. - the microwave power is less then what i expected (old GE one did much better job) overall, i regret going samsung because of constant product quality issues (units have cosmetic defects) and the horrific support, that others have mentioned too. I wish i had listened to that. :)

                          I have owned this for almost 2 years and I love this Microwave/Convection oven. I have almost stopped using my traditional oven. It took me some time to get used to cooking in a convection oven, but it cooks everything fast and evenly. The size is perfect to hold everything I cook, except for very large items.This oven does it all-microwave, convection oven, toaster, defrost. This is the first oven I have ever had that will defrost things without cooking the edges (if you follow the instructions). It comes with a very helpful book with how to do different things, the settings and the cooking times. It has a lot of automatic functions built it. It also comes with two wire racks at different heights and a very nice non-stick pan. I highly recommend this product.

                            Its compact enough for counter space and big enough for all our needs, and the convection and grill combo makes it perfect (one stop shop)! One thing to point out and we get along with it! that is the lack of number pad we have to use 30sec increments of up and down arrow to adjust the time. but other than that its perfect and hope it last for many many years!

                            I'm actually "iffy" about recommending this product. I like the functionality, but the interior of the box is much too small. I like to bake and don't want to heat my regular oven up for only one pie, cake, etc., plus on days when I'm using the regular oven and need more space, I like to use the convection over for that "one extra thing" I'm making. Once the convection oven is hot and ready for food, getting the food into the microwave is tricky. I can get the food into the box and onto the rack, but I have to be careful (very careful) to not burn my knuckles on the walls. Getting food out is even trickier because now that the baking dish/pan, etc. is hot, I need to use oven mitts and it's virtually impossible to reach around whatever container was used to bake in.

                              We have LOVED this microwave. It does it all, from grilling, to slim-fry, to convection baking! Oh yeah and it’s a microwave! We had the previous model and upgraded to this larger one that better fit our space. I especially love the autocook functions. They’re so accurate and take the guesswork out of reheating.
