4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
),>
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 (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. While handling dry
ice, wear gloves to protect your hands from ice
burns.
OR
c) 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 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.
