USING THE REFRIGERATOR EFFICIENTLY
• Practical everyday tips
1. Do not place fridges or freezers next to radiators, heaters,
stoves or in direct sunlight.
2. Make sure that air vents are not covered up and clean the
dust off them once or twice a year.
3. Select the right temperature: 6 to 8°C in your refrigerator and
-18°C in your freezer is sufficient.
4. When on holiday, turn up the temperature in your fridge.
5. Only open your fridge or freezer when necessary. It helps if
you know what food each contains and where it is located.
Return food to the fridge or freezer as soon as possible after you
have used it so that it does not warm up too much.
6. Wipe the inside of your fridge regularly with a cloth soaked in
a mild detergent. Appliances which are not self-defrosting will
require regular defrosting. Do not allow frost layers thicker than
10 mm to form.
7. Keep the seal around the door clean, otherwise it will not shut
properly. Always replace broken seals.
• Food that should not be stored in a refrigerator
Not all food is suitable for storing in the refrigerator, partic-
ularly:
- Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to cold, such as
bananas, avocado, papaya, passion fruit, aubergines, pep-
pers, tomatoes and cucumbers.
- Fruit which is not yet ripe
- Potatoes
Optimal temperature and storage conditions will extend
product shelf life and optimize electricity consumption. Opti-
mal storage temperature range should be stated on the food
product packaging.
