USING THE REFRIGERATOR EFFICIENTLY

Practical everyday tips
l Do not place fridges or freezers next to
radiators, heaters, stoves or in direct sun-
light.
l Make sure that air vents are not covered up
and clean the dust off them once or twice
a year.
l Select the right temperature: 6 to 8°C
in your refrigerator and -18°C in your
freezer is sufficient.
l When on holiday, turn up the temperature
in your fridge.
l Only open your fridge or freezer when
necessary. It helps if you know what food
they contain and where it is located. Return
food to the fridge or freezer as soon as
possible after you have used it so that it
doesn't warm up too much.
l Wipe out the inside of your fridge regularly
with a cloth soaked in a mild detergent.
Appliances which are not self-defrosting
will require regular defrosting. Don't allow
frost layers thicker than 10 mm to form.
l Keep the seal around the door clean,
otherwise it won't shut properly. Always
replace broken seals.
Understanding the stars

cheaper fridges.
