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 24 Using the Main Oven for Other Functions `S' SLOW COOK SETTING This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven. DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven lining and the plates which are being warmed. ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE: The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing. Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking. Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised. Fully loading the oven can be economical. Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours. OPERATION: 1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed. Select Slow Cooking Temperature `S' by turning Main Oven Temperature & Function Control (C) clockwise.
