Hints For Defrost And Rising - Smeg SC712U Instruction Manual

Instructions for the user
7.5 Suggestions for defrosting and rising:
We recommend placing frozen foods in an uncovered container on the first rack position (bottom) of the
oven.
Food must be defrosted with all wrapping removed.
Space the food to be defrosted evenly and do not overlap.
When defrosting meat, we recommend placing the food on a rack in the second rack position and
inserting a tray in the first rack position (bottom). Any liquid dripping from the defrosting food will be
caught by the tray.
The tenderest parts of the food can be protected with aluminum foil.
For successful rising, a container of water should be placed at the bottom of the oven.
During rising, it is recommended to cover the dough with a damp cloth.
