Fan Only
32
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.
1. Turn the selector switch until the required fan only symbol is
shown in the control panel window.
2. 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.
