Caring For Your Refrigerator
If electricity goesoff
1.Call the power company. Ask how long power will be off.
2.Keep freezer closed if service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less.
This will help food stay frozen.
3.If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours, do this:
Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker.
OR
Place 2 lbs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cubic foot of freezer space. This will keep foods frozen for 2 to 4 days.
Personal Injury Hazard
Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice bums. Failure to do so could result in dry ice burns.
OR
If dry ice or a food locker is not available, use or can perishable food at once.
NOTE: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods.
Food containing ice crystals may be safely refrozen, but the quality and flavor of the food may be affected.
Use refrozen food quickly. If the condition of the food is poor, or you feel it is unsafe to eat, dispose of it immediately.
