A:Answer"Open Box" can mean either an item that was used as a demonstrator or floor display in the store, or, more likely, an item that was purchased and returned with all paperwork, accessories, and packaging because it didn't fit the space, the original buyer found it too difficult to install or use, or found a better deal elsewhere and returned the first one. In some cases, the item was returned because it had a minor defect or cosmetic issue. In all cases, the store claims to have checked out the item and pronounced it functional before putting it out as "open box" sale. Open box items are discounted, but may not have the same warranty as an unopened unit. And, "open box" is not the same as "refurbished," Refubished items may be repackaged, upgraded, or have missing or damaged parts replaced, but most often are merely cleaned and repackaged.
A:AnswerHi Swyneaux- Our over-the-range microwaves feature Electronic Touch Controls with Digital Display with Clock.

Visual and audible (beep) tone feedback indicate the selection has been recorded.

A:AnswerNo - but you can unscrew the control panel, locate the horseshoe shaped black speaker, bend it slightly up and then pop off one of its wires - rending the entire Microwave "silent" - forever!
DISCLAIMER; THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY (IF THE MANUFACTURER DETECTS THAT YOU DID THIS)
then again the standard warranty is only 1yr. So your microwave probably won't fail until after it expires anyways.
