Won't it beep if you press the stop button? I suppose that's better than the multiple beeps of the finished signal. Even better, first thing I do with a new microwave is figure out how to turn off the sound. Obnoxiously loud beeps and obnoxiously bright LEDs are such common annoyances in appliances. I wish they'd design away from those or at least always provide options to reduce/remove them.

Opening the door may trigger a fail-safe which shortens the lifespan of the microwave.

My parent's microwave of 10 years begs to differ

Hence the "may".
