CPG 351CHSP Electric Cook and Hold Ovens
Product Overview
CPG SlowPro Cook & Hold Ovens are designed and perfected for cooking at a lower temperature. The principles of Low Temperature Cooking and Holding can be summarized into several objectives:
- Increased product yields
- Increased profits from increased yields
- Increased moisture retention
- Increased moisture retention
- Increased tenderization
- Consistency of doneness
When the CPG SlowPro Cook & Hold Oven finishes the cooking cycle, it
automatically switches to the hold cycle. Throughout this manual we recommend
holding temperatures such as 140°F (60°C). This temperature refers to the
oven’s hold temperature setting and not to the internal temperature of the
food being roasted. The internal product temperature will run below the hold
temperature. (For example: roast beef held at 140°F will be about 130°F
internally or medium rare.) All meat products contain enzymes. These enzymes
perform the important function of tenderizing the meat when they reach
temperatures of 100°F (38°C) to 140°F (60°C). As these enzymes are heated,
they break down the connective tissue that is inherent in all red meat
products. The hold cycle allows this natural tenderization process to proceed
in an orderly manner. As long as the internal temperature of the meat does not
exceed 140°F, the process will continue. Once the temperature reaches 140°F
the process will stop, because the enzymes will be deactivated. This
tenderization process makes the meat more flavorful. It is similar to aging
meat before it is sold. The longer the hold, the higher degree of
tenderization.
NOTE: Each hour of holding is equal to one day of aging.

- Turn the Holding Temperature Knob to 140°F.
- Set the Power Switch to ON position.
- Check that the Oven Circulating Fan(s) are running (see note above)
- Check that the Holding Temperature Indicator Light is illuminated.
- Set the Cooking Time Knob to 2 Hours. The Holding Temperature Indicator Light will go out and the Cooking Temperature Indicator Light will illuminate.
- Turn the Cooking Temperature Knob to 300°F. Check the interior rear of the oven cavity to determine that the oven is heating.
- Turn the Cooking Time Knob to 0 and set the Holding Temperature Knob to 300°F
- Check that the Cooking Temperature Indicator Light has gone out and the Holding Temperature Indicator Light has illuminated.
- Check the interior rear of the oven to ensure that the oven is heating. If all the functions perform satisfactorily, the oven is ready for operation

Shutdown Instructions
- WARNING: THE OVEN AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT.
Be very careful when operating, cleaning, or servicing the oven.
-
Turn the Holding Temperature and Cooking Temperature Knobs counter-clockwise until they stop at the OFF position.
-
Open door slightly to allow ventilation and a further cool-down period. This is to allow oven to properly cool-down so components are not damaged.
NOTE: Wait at least 15 minutes before turning Power Switch to OFF. The cooling fans need to operate during the cool-down period. The cooling fans will automatically turn off when the proper temperature is reached. -
Turn Power Switch to OFF position.
For expanded shutdown, continue with these last 3 steps: -
Unplug the oven.
-
Thoroughly clean the oven (see Cleaning & Maintenance on page 11).
-
Leave the door(s) slightly open to allow ventilation and preservation of the gasket(s).
Warnings
- Always ensure proper supervision while the equipment is in use.
- Simple adjustments to knobs, leg height, etc. do not require assistance from specialized personnel. For more technical adjustments, please consult a qualified technician.
- Use only parts and accessories recommended by Cooking Performance Group.
- Burnoff instructions if applicable
- The equipment will remain hot for a short time after use (residual heat). Avoid all physical contact with the unit during this time to prevent injury.
- This equipment is strictly for professional use and must be used by qualified personnel.
- The installation, startup, and maintenance of this equipment must be carried out by a qualified technician.
- All installation must be carried out according to the law. Cooking Performance Group is not responsible for damages due to an incorrect installation, improper maintenance, or incorrect use.
- These are very important regulations; if they are neglected, the equipment may not perform properly or the user may be placed at risk and void manufacturer warranty
Cleaning & Maintenance
-
WARNING: THE OVEN AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT.
Be very careful when operating, cleaning, or servicing the oven. Always shut down and unplug the oven(s) prior to cleaning (shutdown instructions on page 10). -
NOTICE: Avoid splashing water into upper areas of the oven to prevent damage to electrical components or connections. Never spray the unit with a hose. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
Daily Maintenance
- Follow shutdown instructions found on page 10. Be sure to allow the oven(s) time to cool down prior to cleaning.
- Unplug electrical power supply.
- Remove the Interior Side Racks.
- Take the Interior Side Racks to a sink or dishwasher for a thorough cleaning. Use a mild soap and water solution to clean these items. Allow to air dry or use a soft dry cloth. We recommend you use Noble Chemical Sunbright Dishsoap or Noble Chemical Blast Liquid Oven & Grill Cleaner.
- If necessary, clean the interior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wipe dry with a soft dry cloth.
- Reassemble oven.
- Clean the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth, or with the cleaning agents below if necessary
Weekly Maintenance
At least once a week, thoroughly check the door gasket for damage/wear. A damaged gasket can cause inefficient and unsatisfactory operation of the oven.
- Gently wash the gasket using a damp cloth, a mild detergent solution, and warm water.
- Rinse with a fresh cloth moistened in warm water to remove all traces of detergent.
- Gently wipe dry with a clean dry cloth.
NOTE: Never apply food oils or petroleum lubricants directly to the
gasket(s). Petroleum-based solvents and lubricants will reduce the gasket’s
life.
