Time may be added in 1-minute increments by touching ADD A MINUTE, or by minutes and seconds using the interactive touch screen display. Cook power or cook time may be changed after cooking begins by using the “Adjust Settings” control. While settings are being adjusted, the countdown freezes, and then resumes when adjustments are made.
