ROAST AND HOLD OPERATION
Roast and Hold cooks the product in two stages. During First Stage Cooking, the oven temperature
is regulated by the Roast thermostat for the amount of time set on the Timer. After the lapsed time
counts down to 00:00, Second Stage Cooking begins. During Second Stage Cooking, the burners are
off as the temperature in the oven declines to the Hold Temperature. The doors should remain closed
during Second Stage Cooking.
When the Hold Temperature is reached, cooking is done. The Time Display counts up the Hold time
and flashes "Hold." Temperature in the oven will be maintained at the Hold temperature until the oven
is turned off.
CONSERVING ENERGY
• Turn off unused equipment.
• Adjust menu patterns and cooking/baking schedules for optimum equipment use.
• Reduce thermostat settings in slack periods since gas equipment heats up and recovers quickly.
• Preheat only to required cooking temperature for specific food — not higher.
• Do not open the oven door unless absolutely necessary.
• Keep area around the oven door clean and free of food particles.
• Any obstruction that prevents the door from closing completely will adversely affect oven efficiency.
COOKING GUIDELINES
Recommended temperatures, times, number of racks, and power level control settings are intended
as a guide only. Adjustments must be made to compensate for variations in recipes, ingredients,
preparation, and personal preference in product appearance.
The oven does not require special recipes. Excellent results can be obtained from any good
commercial recipe with reduced cooking times.
