If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or
doors closed (depending
on your model) 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 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 2 to 4 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.
