What can I do to preserve my food during a power interruption?
If the electricity in your house goes off, the amount of time that the freezer will stay cold varies. A full freezer stays colder for longer than a partially filled one, and a freezer of meat will stay colder for longer than a freezer of ready cooked meals. To preserve the cold temperature for as long as possible, keep the door shut. If the freezer isn't full, you can use newspaper around product to insulate it, but remember to remove it when the power comes back on. When power is restored it is strongly advised that fridge and freezer interiors are cleaned.
