Fridge Tips

  1. The recommended temperature in a fridge is 3-5 °C. If you increase the temperature you will shorten the shelf-life of your food. 3-5 °C is a slightly lower temperature than that normally recommended. The reason for this is that the temperature in some fridges is not absolutely accurate and there is therefore a risk of the fridge being too warm at the 5 °C setting. 

    Check the temperature by measuring it in a glass of water placed in the middle of the fridge. If the temperature drops below 0 °C some food can be damaged as the fridge is too cold. Use the natural temperature differences inside the fridge; it is typically coldest at the bottom and the back, and warmest high up and in the door.

    • Don’t let the door stay open for too long.
    • Defrost food from the freezer in the fridge.
    • Cool food down before you put it in the fridge.
  2. Care and maintenance
    Where possible make sure that no dust accumulates on the back of the fridge. Replace worn door seals. Defrost the freezer if there is more than 5 mm of ice, because ice causes the energy consumption to rise.
Location of Your Freezer
Placing your freezer directly near a heat source, outside in warm climates, or where the sun will shine on it, will cause it to work harder than it needs to - increasing energy costs. Find a cool, level and dry space, with adequate clearance at the back for good air circulation, and room overhead or to the side to open the freezer door.

Care & Maintenance
  • Check the seal occasionally to ensure proper sealing. If the seal is not adequate, the door may require an adjustment or the seal may need to be replaced.
  • Defrost and clean the freezer regularly. Ice build-up will lower it's efficiency.
  • Safeguard your small children by keeping freezers locked.
  • Vacuum any exposed condensor coils regularly to ensure proper air circulation.
  • Keep temperature constant to keep food from spoiling.
  • Label and date food contents for quick retrieval, and ensure that foods are properly rotated.
  • These tips are general in nature; consult your owner's manual for specific care guidelines.

Moving Day Tips
  • You can lay your upright down for safer transport, but turn it on its side with the hinges up, to ensure the door doesn't open.
  • You might consider securing the door shut to prevent movement and protect the hinges.
  • Remove glass shelving before moving the appliance.
  • Wait at least a half hour before plugging your freezer in, to ensure the oil has time to drain back to its proper place in the compressor. Older freezers should have an even longer waiting period - as the oil takes longer to relocate.
  • After an extended period in freezing weather, your freezer may not appear to be working after being plugged in, but as it adjusts to the warmer room temperature, the thermostat will tell it to operate.
