Progress Bar

The progress bar is a visual picture of the estimated running time 
of a cooking cycle. It will appear during Cook, JET DEFROST™ 
feature, Reheat and Sensor One Touch functions. The lines in 
each of the segments will light from left to right as the time nears 
the end. When all 12 lines (all 3 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 charts in 
the “Cooking” and/or “Reheating” sections for additional 
information.

Start

The START pad begins 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 1 minute 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 START will resume the preset 
cycle.

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.

Cancel•Off

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