DEFROSTING

USES OF DEFROST FEATURE

This function enables you to defrost most foods 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.

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 THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAWING.

SELECTING DEFROST

1) Turn the selector to fan oven. Do not select a temperature setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

The indicator neon should remain unlit.

If the temperature control is inadvertently set the indicator neon will illuminate, however, no heat is

lgenerated.

When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon may occasionally come ON. It will stay ON until the oven reaches room temperature and then go OFF.

It may cycle ON and OFF periodically during

defrosting to maintain steady room temperature inside the oven.

l

Care must always be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and cross contamination when defrosting, preparing, cooking, cooling and freezing foods.

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.

DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge.
