Using the Main Oven for
Other Functions
FAN ONLY SETTING
DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted
slowly, preferably in a refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours
per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours
per lb.). Frozen meat or poultry must be completely
defrosted before cooking in the oven. However, to
decrease the amount of time required to defrost food
items, a nonheating 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 Control (C or D, depending on your model)
clockwise to the FAN ONLY setting:
Control C - Model FID20, FIMD23, FID10, FIMD23,
FIMD13,BIMDS23IXGB
Control D - Model FIDM20,FIMDE23
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 and
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.
LIGHT ONLY SETTING
When Control (C or D, depending on your model) is
turned clockwise to the LIGHT ONLY setting, the
main oven light only will illuminate:
Control C - Model FID20
Control D - Model FIDM20
WARNING! The oven is provided with
a stop system to extract the racks and
prevent them from coming out of the
oven.(1)
As shown in the drawing, to extract them
completely, simply lift the racks, holding
them on the front part, and pull (2).
