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 delicate food which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products.

Hints and Tips
On baking:
Cakes and pastries usually require a medium temperature
electrolux 15
Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the baking time has elapsed.
Shortcrust pastry is baked in a springform tin or on a tray for up to 2/3 of the baking time and then garnished before being fully baked. This further baking time depends on the type and amount of topping or filling. Sponge mixtures must separate with difficulty from the spoon. The baking time would be unnecessarily extended by too much liquid.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are inserted into the oven at the same time, a shelf level must be left free between the trays.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are inserted into the oven at the same time, the trays must be swapped and turned around after about 2/3 of the baking time.
On Roasting:
Do not roast joints smaller than 1 kg. Smaller pieces could dry out when roasting. Dark meat, which is to be well done on the outside but remain medium or rare inside, must be roasted at a higher tem- perature
White meat, poultry and fish, on the other hand, require a lower temperature
You can use a spoon to test whether the meat is cooked: if it cannot be depressed, it is cooked through. Roast beef and fillet, which is to remain pink inside, must be roasted at a higher tempera- ture in a shorter time.
If cooking meat directly on the oven shelf, insert the roasting pan in the shelf level below to catch the juices.
Leave the joint to stand for at least 15 minutes, so that the meat juices do not run out.
