Q: QuestionIs there a mute capability so there's no annoying beeps when it's done or reminder beeps? If not, is there a loud and soft setting? A choice of 1 beep very 3 beeps? (Appliance manufacturers vastly overestimate how much we want to hear from appliances)

Asked 7 months ago by MustangRich.

• A:Answer Hi MustangRich, thanks for your question. Unfortunately, there is no option to change or turn off the sound levels for when the microwave has finished. The only sound that can be changed is the key beeps when selecting options. You can find these instructions on page 18 of the use and care manual.

Q: QuestionI have a Kenmore microwave that I want to replace with Bosch HMV5053U.The installation details say that it includes replacing the existing "hood", it is not clear that they can replace an existing microwave. Please explain.

Asked 1 year ago by Tbak.

• A:Answer Hi TBak, thanks for your question and interest in model # HMV5053U. The Bosch HMV5053U is a microwave oven that is designed to be installed as an over-the-range microwave with a built-in ventilation system, commonly referred to as a "hood." When the installation details mention replacing the existing "hood," it means that the Bosch HMV5053U may replace your current microwave and its accompanying ventilation system. In other words, the Bosch HMV5053U is not just a standalone microwave, but it also functions as a range hood to remove smoke, steam, and odors from your stovetop area. This is a common feature in many over-the-range microwaves, as it helps to keep your kitchen well-ventilated while cooking. If you already have a microwave with a built-in ventilation system, you may replace it with the Bosch HMV5053U by following the installation instructions provided. It's important to note that the installation process may vary depending on your specific kitchen setup, and the existing microwave model. It's recommended to consult the product specification sheet for sizing and space requirements, and the installation instructions provided with the Bosch HMV5053U or reach out to a professional installer for assistance if needed.
