Caring For Your Refrigerator
If electricity goes off
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 Ibs. (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 burns. 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.
