Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator
doors closed to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
■
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
■
Place 2 lbs. (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic
foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for
two to four days.
■
If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or
can perishable food at once.
REMEMBER:
A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
