ROAST AND HOLD OPERATION — Models WKEC and WKECX

Roast and Hold cooks the product in two stages. During First Stage Cooking, the oven temperature is regulated by the Temperature setpoint and the Time setting. After the time counts down to 00:00, Second Stage Cooking begins. During Second Stage Cooking, the heating elements 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, the display flashes HOLD. Temperature in the oven will be maintained at the Hold temperature until the oven is turned off.

PROPER UTENSILS

The use of proper utensils can enhance oven operation. Medium and light weight pans allow the product to warm faster. Roast meats in shallow pans deep enough to hold all juices yet allow free air circulation.

OPERATING HINTS

When using the convection oven for the first time with a particular food, check the degree of doneness periodically before the suggested time has elapsed, to make sure the desired doneness is achieved.

Record your temperature and time settings for various products. The convection oven can provide consistent, repeatable results.

The convection oven is faster than conventional deck-type ovens; temperature settings are lower and cook times are shorter. Since recipes and foods are subject to many variations and tastes, the guidelines regarding Times and Temperatures in this manual are SUGGESTIONS ONLY. Experiment with your food products to determine the cooking temperatures and times that give you the best results.
