Avoid These Fridge Mistakes This Summer to Slash Your Electricity Bill

• Set fridge to 5-7°C and freezer to -15 to -18°C; excessively low temperatures increase electricity consumption.
• Periodically defrost your freezer; ice buildup over half an inch forces the refrigerator to work harder.
• Do not overload the refrigerator with items; cold air needs space to circulate efficiently for proper cooling.
• Limit frequent opening of the refrigerator door; it allows cold air to escape and warm air to enter, increasing power usage.
• Maintain a gap between the fridge and the wall for heat dissipation, and avoid placing hot food directly inside.
