DEFROSTING IN THE MAIN FAN OVEN
USES OF DEFROST FEATURE
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.
HOW TO USE DEFROST
1.Turn the Fan oven temperature control to Defrost setting. 
2.This function DOES NOT require a temperature setting on the fan oven temperature control.
THINGS TO NOTE
The oven fan and internal oven light will 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.
