Power interruptions

If electricity goes off, call the power com­

pany. Ask how long power will be off.
1. If service will be interrupted 24 hours or

iess,

keep both doors closed.

This

helps food stay frozen.

2.

If service will be interrupted longer than

24 hours:

(a) Remove all frozen food and store in a

frozen food locker.

OR

(b) Place 2 lbs. (907 g) of dry ice in

freezer for every cubic foot of freezer
space. This wili 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 nor dry ice is

avaiiable, use or can perishabie food
at once.

3. 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. If food contains ice crystals,
it may be safely refrozen, although the
quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, or if you feei
it is unsafe, dispose of it.
