USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS

FAN ONLY

The oven has a fan only position, which can be used to assist defrosting by circulating unheated air around the food.

Time to defrost will depend on the type and size of the food and the room temperature.

Operating Instructions:

1.Turn the selector switch (B) to the Fan only position.

2.The oven light will remain on.

3.After use always return the controls to the Off position and close the oven door.

DO NOT turn the oven thermostat control on.

DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.

Foods ideally suited for fan defrosting (without heat) are those which are normally served cold eg. 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 ‘fan only’ defrosted, then where possible the items should be thin eg. fish fillets, peeled shrimp, cubed or ground meat, sliced meat, thin chops, steaks or liver.

The items should be placed so the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to the circulat- ing air and turned to ensure even defrosting.

Fan defrosting without heat is only suitable for meat and poultry joints up to a maximum weight of 1.8kg (4lb).

It is important to wash both roast and cooking utensils immediately after defrosting, before cooking.

It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.
