FAN CONTROLED DEFROSTING
This main oven function enables you to defrost most
foods without heat faster than some conventional
methods as the oven fan circulates air around the
food.
It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen
foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled
gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings,
cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc.
USING FAN CONTROLLED DEFROSTING

Turn the main oven temperature control to the
fan controlled defrost setting.

The cooling fan does not operate.
HINTS AND TIPS
·
Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
·
The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.
·
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry
slowly in the fridge. However, this process can
be accelerated by using the defrost function.
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns,
cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks
etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2 hours.
·
A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in
approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as
soon as possible during the thawing process.
·
Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be
thawed using the defrost function.
