Maximize Refrigerator Efficiency: Tips for Optimal Temperature, Energy Savings, and Placement

• The optimal temperature in the refrigerator is +5 degrees, and in the freezer -18 degrees. If the temperature is lower, each degree below the specified will increase the energy consumption by 10 percent.
• The refrigerator should be at least 60 percent full. Because empty air cooling, especially when the door is swinging, consumes more energy.
• Do not put hot products in it, but let the food cool down to room temperature.
• Keep the refrigerator door open for as short a time as possible. The longer they are open, the more energy must be consumed cooling the incoming air.
• If the refrigerator does not have an automatic defrost function, defrost it if the ice layer is thicker than 5 millimeters.
• Defrost products removed from the freezer in the refrigerator. For example, if you take out frozen meat in the evening, it will be thawed in the morning. This will help maintain the desired temperature in the refrigerator, using less electricity.
• From time to time, clean the back parts of the refrigerator from dust, gas deposits and other dirt.
• If there is condensation on the walls of the refrigerator, but you carefully store only packaged and cooled products, you may need to change the door seals. Put writing paper in the refrigerator door, close the door and pull the paper. If it pulls out easily, the tires really need to be replaced.

How to place the refrigerator?

The fact that the device should be kept away from heating devices is probably no secret to you. But it should also be noted that a refrigerator that is located about 10 cm away from the wall and is placed against the outer wall of the house will work better and more economically. Insufficient air access increases energy consumption on average up to two times.
