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 15 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.
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 5 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.
Cancel/Off
The CANCEL•OFF pad stops most functions except for the
Timer, Child Lock and Demo Mode.
The microwave oven will also turn off when the door is opened.
Close the door and touch JET START control to resume the cycle.
