Can I add items part-way through my cooking cycle?

Yes, you can take the lid off for up to 3 minutes at a time to add any more ingredients and after you put the lid back on, it will carry on with the cycle as normal. If it is off for more than 3 minutes, the cycle will stop completely, and you will have to select your desired setting. Please note, this will start the process from the beginning. If you need longer than 3 minutes, make sure you put the lid back on during the 3- minute window and then remove it again.
