Power interruptions

If electricity goes off, call the power company. Ask how long power will be off.

1.If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed. This will help foods stay frozen.

2.If service is to be interrupted longer than

24 hours:

(a)Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker.

OR

(b)Place 2 Ibs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cubic foot of freezer space. This will keep food frozen for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns.

OR

(c)If neither a food locker or dry ice is avail- able, use or can perishable food at once.

3.A full freezer will stay cold longer than a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.
