Loading the Freezer
To prepare food for freezing, use only containers and wrapping materials made especially for freezers. For fast efficient freezing DO NOT freeze more than three pounds of UNFROZEN food per cubic foot capacity of your freezer. For example, if the capacity of your freezer is 10 cubic feet, do not freeze more than 30
pounds of unfrozen food at one time. DO NOT place hot food in the freezer.
Power Failure
If electrical power fails and will remain off for less than 24 hours: Keep the freezer door closed so its
contents will remain frozen.
If power will remain off for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:
Remov_food and place in a frozen food locker, Place dry ice in the freezer. First cover food packages with newspaper or cardboard. Then
spread dry ice over this covering. Be careful that
dry ice is not directly touching the food packages as it could "bum" the food.
•If locker storage space is not available, or you cannot get dry ice, use perishable food immedi- ately.
