Using the Main Oven for

FAN ONLY SETTING
DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted
slowly, preferably in a refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours
per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours
per lb.). Frozen meat or poultry must be completely
defrosted before cooking in the oven. However, to
decrease the amount of time required to defrost food
items, a nonheating fan only setting may be selected
for the main oven only.
OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:
Place food in the oven and close the oven door.
Turn the Main Oven Temperature and Function Control
(C) clockwise to the
setting.
This defrosts by circulating the air around the food,
time to defrost will depend on type and size of the
food.
NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by
warming the food through.
Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only
setting are cream/cream cakes, butter cream filled
cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches,
pastries, biscuits, bread, croissants, fruit and many
delicate frozen foods. If fish, meat and poultry are to
be defrosted using the fan only setting, where possible
it is recommended that the food should be small and
thin.
The items should be placed so that the maximum
amount of surface area is exposed to the circulating
air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even
defrosting.
Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by
using the fan only setting up to a maximum weight of 2
kg (4lb 8oz).
It is important to wash both meat and poultry and
cooking utensils immediately after defrosting and
before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately
after defrosting.
It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic
principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent
the possibility of bacterial growth.
LIGHT ONLY SETTING
When the Main Oven Temperature & Function Control
(C) is turned clockwise to the setting, the main
oven light only will illuminate.
! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting.
After selecting any of the oven programs, the parame-
ter setting of the product is activated. It optimizes the
performance of cooking, but could result in a delayed
ignition of fan and heating elements.
