Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door 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.
■
If a food locker is not 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.
Moving Care
When you are moving your freezer to a new home, follow these
steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all frozen food.

3. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
