Defrosting - Electrolux EOC 6800 Instruction Booklet

Defrosting

The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air,
at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases the
speed of defrosting. However, please note that the tem-
perature of the kitchen will influence the speed of defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for defrosting delica-
te food which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream
filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast
products.

Hints and Tips
• Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.
• ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
• Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when
ever possible and turned over half way through the
defrosting process.
• Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.) are
suitable for defrosting in this way.
