POWER INTERRUPTIONS If the electricity in your house 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 (ca. lkg) 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. While handling dry ice, wear gloves to protect your hands from frostbite. OR c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or perish food at once. REMEMBER: In a power failure, 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 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.
