FAN CONTROLLED DEFROSTING SECOND OVEN
This second oven function enables you to defrost
most
foods
without
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.
