Check food after standing. If additional time is needed, continue to defrost with 20% power and additional time.
Food not listed in the Chart can be defrosted using 20% setting.
Note: When freezing minced beef, shape it into flat even sizes. For chicken pieces, steaks and chops, freeze
separately in single flat layers and if necessary interleave with freezer plastic to separate layers. This will
ensure even defrosting. It is also a good idea to label the packs with the correct weights.
