Choose a refrigerator of a size based on the needs of your family; refrigerators operate at peak efficiency when filled; however it should not be over filled.
Thick frost on chilling panels reduces cooling ability. If you do not have a frost-free model, defrost your refrigerator when frost’s thickness approaches 0.6cm.
Don’t open your refrigerator door needlessly. By getting into the habit of removing and replacing several articles at on
ce, you’ll reduce loss of cold air.
Let hot foods cool down before placing them into the refrigerator. (To a void bacterial growth allow at least 20 minutes standing time).
Be sure that the seal around your refrigerator door is intact. (Close the door on a piece of paper: If you can pull the paper out easily, the seal needs to be replaced).
Remove all wrappings from food before storing it in the fridge.
Foods should be placed slightly apart on refrigerator shelves, to allow the cooling air to circulate.
Exposed condenser coils/panels (usually at the back of the unit) must be kept clean and dust free. When cleaning you must be careful not to damage the panels.
Don’t place the refrigerator near the stove or against an un-insulated wall that faces the sun.
Allow adequate space around the refrigerator for free air circulation.
Turn on the energy saving switch if one is fitted to the refrigerator.
Turn off, empty, clean and leave refrigerator door open when taking an extended holiday.
Cover all liquids stored in the frost-free refrigerator models.
