•
The dispenser
lights
are LEDs that cannot
be changed.
•
The interior
lights
are LEDs that cannot
be changed.
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.
