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.
