The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above. 100mm (4") from the front of the shelf. Important Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan, when the pan is being used for oven cooking. However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non-heating fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only. OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING: Place food in the oven and close the oven door. Turn the Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to the setting. This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on type and size of the food. NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through. Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are 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 defrosted using the fan only setting, where possible it is recommended that the food should be small & thin. The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even defrosting. Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up to a maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz). It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately after defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after defrosting. It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.
