A:AnswerYes this is a direct replacement size wise for the old Bosch HMV9305/01 microwave, they are both a 1.8 cu ft and the outer dimensions are very close to each other, any gap will be very small as this Bosch 800 Series is designed to fit in the same size cutout.
The interior of the 800 Series has a 14 inch rotating glass plate vs the old HMV9305/01 on having a 12 inch rotating glass plate so you will get more interior room with the Bosch 800 Series microwave.
A:AnswerHi Julie, thank you for your question and interest in Model:HMV8053U. This Over-the-Range Microwave is designed to install with a Bosch slide-in range or cooktop, as it provides venting and task lighting. Here is the link to show installation: https://media3.bosch-home.com/Documents/MCDOC02290824_HMV8053U.pdf. We do have other Models that are designed to be built-in to a cabinet. These include Model:HMC80252UC and Model:HMC80152UC.
A:AnswerHi Nana. Thank you for your question. Model:HMV8053U does not have the convection broil feature. It does have several features such as convection cooking, sensor cooking and provides venting and task lighting over a range. We have two Speed Ovens that do have Convection Broil, Model #HMC80152UC and Model #HMC80252UC.
A:AnswerThere is a button for tuning on the lights and the fan, you just push the light button once for its bright setting and push it again for the night light setting and push it one more time to turn off the lights. The fan button works the same way you push it to turn on the fan and push again to change the speed of the fan and push it again to turn off the fan.
A:AnswerThe install is straight forward, no gotcha issues, there is a plate that mounts to the wall behind the microwave that has a lip on the bottom of the plate. Once the plate is installed on the wall the back of the microwave has a lip that will connect with the lip on the plate so you install it with the front are a downward angle then rotate the microwave upward to the bottom of the cabinet above it. You have drilled holes for the three mounting screws to go through the bottom floor of the cabinet and a larger holt for the plug and cord to fit through so you can plug the microwave into the 110 volt electric receptacle that powers the microwave. The unit does weigh just over 50 pounds so pull out your range so you can lift the microwave into place and have a help to insert the top mounting screws and pull the plug through its hole so it does not get pinched.
A:AnswerYes there are 2 different settings a brighter one and a lower one I use at night as a soft light in the kitchen with the rest of the under cabinet lighting
A:AnswerI am going to say no because we had the HMV9305/01 Bosch 1.8 cu ft microwave and this Bosch 800 Series is the replacement for that old Bosch series. The back bracket is different size wise, the same basic design but just enough different our old HMV9305/01 wall bracket did not work and we had to install the new wall bracket in place of the old one. Also the top mounting holes for the three top mounting screws are not in the same exact locations so you will have to drill three new holes.
A:AnswerNeither of the answers answered the question. OBVIOUSLY it's has convection and microwave features. BUT CAN YOU DO COMBINATION COOKING, using both SIMULTANEOUSLY?!
A:AnswerNot really sure. I've only had it up to 450 (F). You can view the user's manual at https://www.bosch-home.com/us/productslist/cooking-baking/microwaves/over-the-range-microwaves/HMV8053U
