About defrost
Setting defrost
Use the defrost feature to thaw small portions of
delicate items such as cream cakes, frozen cream
pies and cheesecake at room temperature. While
in the defrost mode, the convection fan will operate
to circulate room temperature air around the food
slowly, accelerating the natural defrosting of the
food without using heat.
Defrost may be set with the following options:
• Cook time
• Cook time with end time
See the example below to set defrost.
