Press the Alarm button to see the highest temperature recorded and decide which food is still safe. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How do I find out how warm my Bertazzoni freezer got during the outage? Press the blinking Alarm button. The display shows the highest temperatures recorded while the power was off. ### Do I need to reset my Bertazzoni column after Power Failure!!? No. The column resumes work on its own. Silence the signal and let it pull down with the door closed. ### Is food safe after Power Failure!! on a Bertazzoni column? Use the recorded peak temperature and how long it lasted. A full freezer holds cold longer, and food that still has ice crystals can usually be kept. --- **[Read on the site: Bertazzoni Power Failure!! on a freezer column after an outage](https://freezerrepair.center/error-codes/bertazzoni-power-failure/)** **[Book a visit with FreezerRepair.center](https://freezerrepair.center/schedule/)**
