Refrigerator
- Choose energy efficient refrigerators. Refrigerators with "Grade 1" energy label are the most energy efficient.
- Do not put a refrigerator near a heat source - an oven, a dishwasher or direct sunlight from a window.
- Leave enough space between a refrigerator and walls or cabinets so that air can circulate around the condensing coils. Trapped heat increases energy consumption.
- Make sure that the refrigerator door is closed and the door seals are intact. Avoid opening the refrigerator door too frequently.
- Do not set the refrigerator temperature unnecessarily low.
- Allow hot or warm food to cool down to room temperature before putting it into the refrigerator.
- Do not store too much food in a refrigerator. Cover all food stored, and arrange them properly so that cold air can circulate freely.
- Defrost a direct-cool type refrigerator regularly. Do not let frost build up in the freezer compartment as this will increase energy consumption.
- Empty the refrigerator and switch it off before going abroad for a long period of time.
