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 7% Ibs. (3.4 kg) of dry ice in freezer. 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.

There is a correct way to package and store refrigerated or frozen food. To keep food fresher, longer, take the time to study these recommended steps.

1Storing fresh food

Food placed inthe refrigerator should be wrapped or stored in air and moisture proof material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to ensure freshness.

Leafy vegetables

Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic con- tainer and store in crisper.

Vegetables with skins

(carrots, peppers)

Store in crisper, plastic bags or plastic container.

Fruit
