Electrolux D8100-1 DEFROSTING

USES OF DEFROST FEATURE

This main oven function enables you to defrost

most foods without heat faster than some

conventional methods. 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.

SELECTING DEFROST

Scroll through the main oven function selections

using or until the Defrost neon is

illuminated.

Wait 5 seconds until your choice is confirmed

and the neon stops flashing.

The temperature display will show 'dEF'.

The oven fan and internal oven light will come

on.

To switch the defrost function off, just press

button or once again. The main oven

electronic display will show the time of day.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The oven indicator neon may glow and turn on

and off when defrosting.

2. The oven fan and oven light will come on.

3. The cooling fan does not operate.

HINTS AND TIPS

Place the frozen food in a single layer where

possible and turn it over half way through the

defrosting process.

The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by

room temperature. On warm days defrosting will

be faster than on cooler days.

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.

A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed

in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets

as soon as possible during the thawing process.

Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be

thawed using the defrost function.

ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST

BE THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE

COOKING.

Always cook food thoroughly immediately after

thawing.

DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it

is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or

store cooked food in the fridge once it has

cooled.
