Q: QuestionI cannot hear the beeps / tones. Can the sound be increased? I never hear it when my food is done.

Asked 6 years ago by Tammy.

• A:Answer It isn't the loudest of tones. I haven't found a way to increase the volume and really haven't looked. Our kitchen is small so it isn't that big of a factor for us unless we are in another room with the TV on then we have to listen for it.
