Does the fan have a decibel rating? I am looking for a fan that can be quiet.

The fan has three settings. The turbo is loud. I never use it. The lower settings are quieter and setting 1 is fairly quiet.

This unit does not have a handle to open and close, how does this unit work?

if you are facing the microwave, the right hand side of the door has an indented edge. This creates a seemingly invisible handle to open the door with.

Does the samsung over the range microwave, model MC17T8000CG/AA; have a external vent or is it recirculating. Also, would it fit in the space a GE profile Model number PVM 1870DM1BB?

Three vent options - top, rear, and recirculating I removed a 15 y/o GE and this one fit perfectly. Don't know the model I replaced. With the exception of the location of the upper mounting bolt holes, there were no modifications to walls or cabinets required.

Close the door.
Touch the Steam Clean button.
Touch the START button. Steam clean will operate for 6 minutes and 30 seconds. The length of time cannot be modified.
When the cleaning time is over, the oven will beep. Open the door.
Clean the cavity of the oven with a dry dishtowel. Remove the turntable and wipe under the rack with a piece of paper towel.

Cleaning and maintaining your microwave oven

Cleaning the exterior

It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your microwave oven as they occur. Use a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

Cleaning under your microwave oven

Regularly clean grease and dust from the bottom of your microwave using a solution of warm water and soap

Cleaning the control panel

Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives, or sharp objects on the panel as it is easily damaged.

Cleaning the door and door seals

Always ensure that the door seals are clean and that the door closes properly. Take particular care when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles accumulate and prevent the door from closing correctly. Wash the glass door with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.

Cleaning the interior

Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

Troubleshooting

The buttons cannot be touched properly
