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 type and size of the food and the room temperature.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

1. Turn the selector switch until the required fan only symbol is shown in the control

panel window.

2. The control panel illumination and oven light will remain on.

3. After use always return the control 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, e.g. 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 e.g. 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

circulating air and turned regularly to ensure even defrosting.

Fan defrosting without heating is only suitable for meat and poultry joints up to a maximum

weight of 1.8kg (4 lb).

It is important to wash both roast and cooking utensils before cooking immediately

after defrosting.

It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and

hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.
