DEFROSTING

USES OF DEFROST FEATURE

This function enables you to defrost most foods
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.
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly
in the fridge. However, this process can be
accelerated by using the defrost function.
