"Hold" will show in the Display Window and continue for up to 60 minutes or until the Door is opened or STOP is touched. See pages !8 and 19.
TWO-STAGE COOKING
Some recipes need more than one cooking stage. Many foods will cook better when done fora period of time at one power setting and then cook for another period at a different power setting. With a cake, for example, the Cookbook rnay recommend cooking at the 60 (BAKE) setting followed by a period of cooking at the _'HI" setting, BAKE allows the cake to rise gently and then _'HI" finishes the cooking. You can set both stages at the beginning, start the oven, and the oven will change into the second stage at the preset time.
