IMPORTANT: Do not expect your freezer to quick-

freeze any

large

quantity of food. Put no more

unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze

within 24 hours. (No more than 2 to 3 pounds of

food per cubic foot of freezer space.) leave

enough space for air to circulate around pack-

ages. Be careful to leave enough room at the

front so the

door can close

tightly.

‘Based on U.S.D.A.

and Michigan Cooperative

Extension Service suggested stomge times.

If electricity goes off

Call the power company. Ask how long powe

will be off

1. If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or les:

keep both doors closed. This will help frozer

foods to stay frozen.

2. If service is to be interrupted longer than 21

hours:

(a] Remove all frozen food and store in c

frozen food locker. Or...

(b) Place 2 Ibs (0.9 kg] of dry ice in freezer fo

every cu. ft of freezer space. This will keeF

frozen foods for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves tc

protect your hands from dry ice burns.

(c] If neither food locker storage nor dry ice i:

available, use or can perishable food

once.

3. A full freezer will stay cold longer than

partly filled one. A freezer full of meat will stay

cold longer than a freezer full of baked

goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may

be safely refrozen, although the quality and

flavor may be affected. Use refrozen foods

quickly. If the condition of the food is poor or

if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.
