MICROWAVE OVEN

CONTROL

Progress Bar

Display

When power is first supplied to the microwave oven, a “:” will blink on the display. Touch CANCEL•OFF to stop the blinking. If the “:” blinks on the display at any other time, a power failure has occurred. Touch CANCEL•OFF and reset the clock if needed.

If “RETRY” blinks on the display for 1 second, an invalid value has been entered. Retry your entry.

When the microwave oven is in use, the display shows cooking power, quantities, weights and/or prompts. When the microwave oven is not in use, the display shows the time of day or Timer countdown.

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 complete.

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.
