To safeguard the efficacy of refrigerated items, consider the following steps:
- Regular Monitoring: Use a reliable thermometer to check the refrigerator's temperature at least twice daily. Digital temperature monitors with alarms can provide alerts if temperatures fall outside the safe range. - Organization: Organize the refrigerator to ensure adequate air circulation and avoid overcrowding. Place items that require strict temperature control in the center of the refrigerator where temperatures are most stable. - Backup Power: In case of a power outage, have a backup power plan, such as a generator, to maintain the refrigerator's temperature.
