IMPORTANT: Do not expect your freezer to quick- freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze wlthln 24 hours. (No more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space.) leave enough space for air to circulate around pack- ages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

‘Based on U.S.D.A. and Mlchlgan’Cooperatlve Exl’wsbn Service suggested storaqje times.

If electricity goes off

Calf 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 frozen foods to 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 cu. f-t of freezer space. This will keep frozen foods for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns.

(c)If neither food locker storage nor dry ice is available, use or can perishable food at once.

3.A full freezer will stay cold longerthan 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. Use refrozen foods quickly. If the condition of the food is poor or you have any suspicions, it is wise to dispose of it.
