How to make a Magic Chef MCD795SW microwave oven stop beeping

The Magic Chef MCD795SW is a decent microwave, but the beep that it makes every time you press a button (and when it's done cooking) is very loud and high-pitched.  Fortunately, the microwave comes with an easy way to turn the beeping off, which is helpful for using the microwave when people (especially babies) are sleeping.  With the beep turned off, the microwave will run silently, except for the low hum it makes when cooking and the sound of the door opening and closing.

• On the microwave's keypad, press the Help button (on the left side, next to the Clock button).
• The display screen will scroll through the available options, but you don't have to wait for them.  Press 3 to get to the beep setting.
• Once you've chosen the beep submenu, the screen will display the two options: 1 to turn the beep on, or 2 to turn the beep off.  Press 2 and the microwave's beeping will be silenced.  (If you ever unplug the microwave or have a power outage, the beep will be turned back on as the default setting.)

🛈 If the microwave clock has not been set yet, you may not be able to access the help menu. Set the clock first (or press Cancel).

🛈 The microwave's Help menu allows you to do other things as well, such as lock the keypad so that children can't use it, or change the display language from English to Spanish or French.

🛈 These instructions are written specifically for the MCD795SW microwave, but the steps for other Magic Chef models may be similar.
