Pressing the START/+30sec pad during cooking adds 30 seconds (for each press) to the cook time.. Example: to add 1 minute of cook time at the power level of 100%: 1. Press "COOK TIMER" once."00:00" displays. 2. Use the number pads to enter heating time for the 1st stage (cook time may be set up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds). 1. Press START/+30sec pad 2 times.
