If electricity goes off, Moving guide | Whirlpool RS25AMXV manual

If electricity goes off...

A. Call the power company.

Ask how long power will be off.

B. Keep both doors closed if service will be interrupted 24

hours or less.

This will help frozen food stay frozen.

Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker

Place 2 lbs. (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 bums.

Failure to do so could result in dry ice bums.

If dry ice or a food locker is not available, use perishable food at once or preserve by other methods.

NOTE: A full freezer stays colder longer than a partly filled one.

A freezer full of meat stays colder longer than a freezer full of baked goods.

If food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, but the quality and flavor of the food may be affected.

Use refrozen food quickly. If the condition of the food is poor, or you feel it is unsafe to eat, dispose of it immediately.
