Refrigerator use, in order to save electricity, you can take the following power saving techniques:
1. Reasonable food storage
Food storage: the amount of food stored in the refrigerator to maintain about 80% of the most energy-saving. This can avoid too much food lead to frequent start of the refrigerator, but also to prevent the food is too little when the refrigerator compressor repeatedly start, thus saving electricity.
Food Packaging: Wrap food, especially food with more water (e.g. fruits and vegetables) in plastic bags or plastic wrap before placing them in the refrigerator to reduce evaporation of water and icing inside the refrigerator, which in turn reduces power consumption.
Avoid repeated freezing: For large pieces of food, pack them separately according to the amount of food consumed by the family, and take out only the amount consumed at one time, so as to avoid repeated freezing and thawing of food, thus saving electricity.
2. Adjust refrigerator settings
Temperature adjustment: Reasonably adjust the temperature of the refrigerator according to the season and food storage needs. Generally speaking, the temperature can be adjusted higher in summer and lower in winter. At the same time, the freezer temperature control at -18 ℃ or so can meet the needs of daily use, and relative to the lower temperature can save electricity.
Gear adjustment: for non-computerized temperature control refrigerator, you can adjust the gear according to the season. Winter can be adjusted to a higher position , summer is adjusted to a lower position, in order to achieve the effect of power saving.
3. Reduce the number and time of opening the door
Reduce the number of times you open the door: every time you open the door, it will lead to the loss of cold air and compressor restart, thus increasing power consumption. Therefore, when accessing food should minimize the number of times the door is opened and try to complete the required operations at once.
Shorten the opening time: try to complete the pick and place operation as quickly as possible when opening the door to avoid a long time to open the door leading to a large loss of cold air.
4. Refrigerator placement and environment
Placement: Place the refrigerator in a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight and heat sources. At the same time, there should be enough space around the refrigerator in order to facilitate the dissipation of heat, it is generally recommended that the left and right sides and the back of the space left 10 ~ 20cm.
Avoid heat sources: Do not place the refrigerator near heat sources (such as heating, stoves, etc.) in order to avoid increasing the refrigerator’s power consumption.
5. Regular Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular defrost: when the inner wall of the refrigerator frost thicker should be defrosted in a timely manner, so as not to affect the cooling effect and increase power consumption. Defrosting can choose to put food in order to reduce the number of times to open the door.
Check the sealing strip: Regularly check whether the sealing strip of the refrigerator door is intact and undamaged, if it is aging or damaged, it should be replaced in time to ensure that the cold air does not leak out.
Clean the refrigerator: Regularly clean the dust and dirt inside and outside the refrigerator to maintain its good working condition and cooling effect.
To summarize, these measures can effectively reduce the power consumption of the refrigerator and extend its service life.
