AEG D2160-1 - Manual (Page 21)

1. Turn the main oven temperature control to the
defrost setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
l The oven indicator neon may glow and turn on
and off when defrosting.
l The oven fan and oven light will come on.
l The cooling fan does not operate.
HINTS AND TIPS
l Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
l The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting
will be faster than on cooler days.
l It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry
slowly in the fridge. However, this process can
be accelerated by using the defrost function.
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns,
cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks
etc., can be thawed in 1 - 2 hours.
l A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed
in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets
as soon as possible during the thawing
process.
This main oven function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some 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.
