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.
