Helpful hints and tips

Using the hob

ports. Lift shelf clear.
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.
Each shelf position has an upper and lower
support wire, ensure the shelf is placed be-
tween these two support wires.
Defrost
This main oven function defrosts most foods
faster than more conventional methods.
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 defrost
• Turn the main oven temperature control to
the defrost setting.
• When defrost is selected, the oven indica-
tor neon may come ON. It will stay ON until
the oven reaches room temperature and
then go OFF.
• It may turn ON and OFF periodically during
defrosting to maintain a steady room tem-
perature, inside the oven.
Things to note
• The oven fan and interior light will come on.
• Follow any guidelines provided by the sau-
cepan manufacturer, particularly those re-
lating to recommended heat settings.
• Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases
should not be used.
• Never leave the hotplates on when not
covered with a saucepan.
