Follow these step-by-step instructions to put an end to the beeping madness.
Unveiling the Silent Mode

Alternative Methods
If the “Options” menu does not have a dedicated “Beep” setting, try these alternative methods:
1. Reset the Microwave: Unplug the microwave from the power outlet for 30 seconds and then plug it back in. This will reset the microwave to its factory settings, which may include silencing the beep.
2. Check the Door Switch: Ensure that the microwave door is closed properly. A faulty door switch can trigger the beep even when the microwave is not in use.
