Defrosting

The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven.This increases the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of defrosting.

This function is particularly suitable for defrosting deli- cate food which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products.
