Consumer Tips: How to Handle Energy-Efficient Refrigerators -Modern refs illustrate perfectly how energy efficiency standards can improve appliances and save consumers money. Here are some tips; 1. Avoid leaving the ref door open- it results in bigger electric consumption. 2. Check gaskets around the unit-bad condition leads to making the appliance work harder to maintain the right temperature resulting to bigger electricity consumption. 3. Cool food to room temperature befor storing in the ref-warm food placed inside raises thee temperature inside thus consequently increases energy consumption. 4. Limit stocks inside the ref-overcrowding interferes with air circulation thus overworking the compressor. 5. Place the ref far from stove or range.Install it where air can circulate freely around. 6. Defrost regularly.Frost acts as an insulating blanket which causes the motor to work overtime. 7. Clean periodically the compressor units and condenser coils at the back of bottom of the unit.-Maintenance is needed for the ref to run effectively.
