4 TIPS FOR REFRIGERATION 1. FILL YOUR FRIDGE It may sound strange but a full fridge or freezer is actually more energy efficient than an empty one. This is because the cold contents stay colder when the door is open than empty space would. You can combat the empty space by filing them with bottles of water. 2. SET THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE For maximum efficiency and food safety, the fridge should be set between 2°- 4°C and the freezer should be around -18°C. If your fridge doesn’t have a temperature display you can test the temperature by placing a small bowl of water in the fridge overnight. In the morning place a thermometer in the water and read off the temperature. 3. AVOID PUTTING HOT FOOD INTO THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER This one is simple, putting hot food in means your fridge or freezer will have to work extra hard to cool it down therefore increasing energy consumption. Where possible, try to allow food to cool before placing it in your fridge or freezer. 4. ENSURE DOOR SEALS ARE SEALING CORRECTLY If your fridge or freezer seals are cracked, broken or incorrectly installed you may be cooling the entire kitchen without even knowing it!
