Power interruptions If electricity goes off, call the power company. Ask how long power will be off. 1. If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed.

OR (b) Place 0.9 kg (2 Ibs.) of dry ice in freezer for every cubic foot of freezer space. This will keep food frozen for 2 to 4 days.

Cheese Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Leftovers Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used. Meat Most meat can be stored in original wrapping as long as it is air and moisture proof. Rewrap if necessary.
