MULTI SHELF COOKING
Multi shelf cooking is very successful using the TrueAero mode. Fisher & Paykel’s AeroTechTM system allows you to bake several different foods simultaneously on different levels giving you increased flexibility - as well as saving time. TrueAero is well suited to batch baking of cookies, biscuits, scones, and muffins as well as complete oven meals. See the Baking Chart on page 26 for suggested times, temperatures and shelf positions for multi rack cooking.
DEHYDRATING / DEFROSTING
Your AeroTechTM oven can be used to dehydrate or defrost foods at low temperature in the TrueAero mode.
Tips for Dehydrating
To obtain a high quality dried product, select only unblemished, mature fruit.
Wash fruit thoroughly and pat dry, peel if desired. Unpeeled fruit will take longer to dry. Remove stones, stems or pips if necessary. Place fruit on a cookie sheet on a shelf in the oven.
To dehydrate foods, we recommend using TrueAero or AeroBake at a temperature of 120°F / 50°C.
Tips for Defrosting
To defrost foods select the TrueAero mode and a temperature of 120°F / 50°C. Select the shelf position(s) and place food that is to be defrosted in an oven safe dish in the center of the oven shelf.
Use the minute timer if desired to time the defrosting process. Time taken to defrost will depend on the size and weight of the item being defrosted - it pays to check it regularly.
TIPS FOR PROOFING BREAD
Your AeroTechTM oven provides an ideal sealed environment to proof bread.
Select Bake and 80°F / 30°C.
CONTROL PANEL LOCK
Locking the controls disables all the buttons and dials which can be useful when cleaning oven surfaces or preventing accidental bumps and unauthorised use. The control panel can only be locked when the oven is off.
Press PUSH TO CLEAR and hold down for 5 seconds to lock the controls. Repeat to unlock.
