POWER INTERRUPTIONS
If the electricity goes off, call the power company and ask how
long it will be off.
1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both
refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and frozen.
2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:
A) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food
locker.
OR
B)Place 2 Ibs of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot
of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for two to
four days. While handling dry ice, wear gloves to protect
your hands from frostbite.
OR
C)tf neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume
or can perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold longer
than a partially filled one. A freezer fuji of meat stays cold
longer than a freezer fuji of baked goods. If you see that food
contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the
quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the
food is pot, or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.
SUFFOCATION HAZARD
When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (C02). When it vaporizes, it
can displace oxygen, causing dizziness,
light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by suffocation.
Open a window and do not breathe
the vapors.
