Progress Bar

The progress bar is a visual picture of the estimated running time 
of a cooking cycle. It will appear during all cook cycles except 
Warm Hold. The lines in each of the segments will light from left 
to right as the time nears the end. When all fifteen lines (all three 
segments) are lit, the cooking cycle is completed.

Number Codes

The microwave oven is preset with shortcut number codes. A 
number code includes one or more of the following: cooking 
power, cook time and food quantity or weight. See the code 
charts in the “Cooking” and “Reheating” sections for additional 
information.

JET START™ Feature

The JET START™ control will start any function. If not touched 
within 5 seconds after touching a pad, “START?” will appear on 
the display as a reminder. If not touched within 5 minutes after 
touching a pad, the display will return to the time of day mode 
and the programmed function will be canceled.

If cooking is interrupted, touching the JET START™ control will 
resume the preset cycle.

The JET START™ control, touched by itself, will automatically 
start the microwave oven for a 30 second cook time at 100% 
cooking power.

The JET START™ control, touched while the microwave oven is 
operating in any cook function, will add 30 seconds of cook time 
at the cook power currently in use. Each touch of the JET 
START™ console pad will add 30 additional seconds of cook 
time.

JET COOK™ Feature

The five JET COOK™ controls share function with the numerical 
pads 1-5. When one of the 5 JET COOK™ controls is touched 
(while no function is operating), the oven will begin cooking at 
high power for 1-5 minutes, depending on which pad is touched. 
After cooking begins, the JET COOK™ controls return to their 
normal numerical pad function.

Off/Cancel

The OFF/CANCEL pad stops most functions except for the 
Timer, Control Lock and Demo Learning Mode.

The microwave oven will also turn off when the door is opened. 
Close the door and touch JET START to resume the cycle.
