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
temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of
defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate 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.
Refer to the following table for approximate defrosting
times.
Place the chicken on an inverted saucer on a large
plate. Defrost open and turn at half time or defrost
covered with foil. Remove giblets as soon as possible.
