PowerInterruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door closed to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:
■Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
■If a food locker is not available, consume or can perishable food at once.
After the power is restored, unplug the freezer for 30 minutes, to allow the refrigeration system to equalize. During this time keep the door closed whenever possible.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods.
