I have a drawer microwave and found that if I place my finger over the open-close button, but don’t press it, it adds three seconds when the countdown expires

I haven’t noticed any other button with a separate touch and press feature. I wonder if this is for people who hate the microwave beeping

@drbrain My microwave has an option to disable the beeping, which is pretty awesome. (Another nice side effect of my habit of reading documentation.)

@alpha I have various beep options. Reminder beep is off, button beep is on (lack of feedback from the flat but slightly flexible button surface is terrible), finished beep is on. Maybe if it’s late at night, you could avoid the finished beep?

I’ll have to check the manual to see if this feature is mentioned
