ROAST & HOLD OPERATION — Models VC4EC and VC6EC
Roast & 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 lightweight 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. This will ensure the desired doneness is achieved.
Record your temperature and time settings for various products. The convection oven can provide
consistent and 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.
NOTE: For a more even bake in models VC6ED and VC6EC, place the pans horizontally in the center
of the oven rack and decrease the suggested cooking temperature by 50°F (10°C).
