In the event of a power outage, food should remain safely cold for about 16 hours. Follow these
tips during a prolonged power interruption, especially in summer:
l
Open the door/drawer as few times as possible.
l
Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power interruption.
l
If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is longer
than 16 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the refrigerator
compartment.
l
An inspection of the food is required immediately after the interruption.
l
As temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power interruption or other failure,
the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that defrosts
should be either consumed, or cooked and refrozen (where suitable) soon afterwards in
order to prevent health risks.
