ROAST AND HOLD OPERATION — Model ECO2C
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 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, 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.

PROPER UTENSILS
The use of proper utensils can enhance oven operation. Medium and lightweight pans are
recommended since it is more economical to bake with lighter pans.
Meats should be roasted in shallow pans deep enough to hold all juices and allow free air circulation.
CONSERVING ENERGY
• Turn off unused equipment.
• Adjust menu patterns and cooking / baking schedules for optimum equipment use.
• Preheat only to required cooking temperature for specific food, not higher.
• Do not open the oven door unless absolutely necessary. Use the window to observe cooking
progress.
• 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.
