Adding cook time (Plus 30 sec.)
This time-saving feature will let you quickly add 30 seconds
to any cook time already set when cooking at a 100%
power level. This feature may only be used while cooking
and with cook time remaining. Each press of this pad will
add 30 seconds to the cook time.
Example: to add 1 minute of cook time at the default
power level of 100%:
Press Plus 30 sec. pad twice.
