CARING FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR
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
less,
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 32 grams of dry ice in freezer
for every liter (2 lbs. 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.
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 feel
it is unsafe, dispose of it.
