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 defrosting
delicate food which could be damaged by heat, e.g.
cream filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and
other yeast products.

Defrosting
• 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.
