If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator

doors 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 al! frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

■ Place 2 lbs. (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.

■ 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.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■ Raise wire shutoff arm to OFF (up) position or move the

switch to the OFF (right) setting.

■ Shut off water supply to the ice maker.

3. Empty the ice bin.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day

ahead of time.

■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm

to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF
