The FDA also states that fridges can maintain that temperature for up to 4 hours – or 48 hours for a full freezer.) ( EDITOR’S NOTE: According to the FDA, safe food storage temperatures are 40 degrees F or lower for refrigerators and 0 degrees or lower for freezers. You will also be notified if a HI TEMP was recorded in a Food Preservation Product, letting you know that your food was exposed to higher than acceptable refrigeration or freezer temperatures. For example, with our connected appliances, you’ll get an alert on your phone when your power has been restored after an electrical outage. LAURA: How might a power outage affect digital appliances?ĮLECTROLUX: A complete power failure will obviously cause a loss of power to the unit, but no damage. Once the electricity supply is functioning again, our units will communicate to you in some way (depending on feature set) that power was lost at the unit level. Here's what they told me about how advanced technology will protect your electronic appliances in a power failure. So I went to the pros – the expert team at Electrolux - for answers. (Besides, large appliance plugs can be tough even to reach!) But what about a digital washing machine or refrigerator? I wasn’t sure unplugging was the right way to protect those electronic appliances. When I called the utility company for news, a recorded message advised me to unplug all electronics.
The other day, my neighborhood experienced our first blackout of the season. A temporary electrical shutdown - or more accurately, the power surge which often occurs as electricity is restored - can wreak havoc with sensitive digital systems. Unfortunately, power outages and electronic appliances do not play well together. Power outages are a fact of life in summer, when high demand overtaxes the grid or seasonal storms damage equipment.
