Power interruptions

24 hours:

(a)Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker.

(b)Place 2 Ibs. (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 burns.

OR

(c)If neither a food locker or dry ice is available, use or can perishable food at once.
