If you know how to use this mode of your refrigerator, you can significantly save your monthly electricity bills
When using a refrigerator, just a few users pay attention to the two refrigerator temperature controls. But both of them is important, and learning its uses is extremely necessary.
What are fridge temperature controls?
1. Temperature dial
The temperature dial may have a range of numbers from 1–5 or 1–10. The highest number on a dial is usually the coldest setting. That means the higher number you choose, the faster your fridge works to cool.
2. Sliding temperature gauge
Use your finger to push the slider to change the temperature. Typically, moving the slider to the right will make your fridge colder, and pushing it to the left will raise the temperature.
- How to adjust refrigerator temperature
Depending on the weather outside, you can adjust the refrigerator temperature properly. You shouldn’t choose the highest number because it consumes a lot of energy. Especially in autumn and winter, you can choose level 3 on the temperature dial inside your fridge. Meanwhile, on hot days, you should choose level 4.
- Adjust refrigerator temperature based on food quantity
Depending on the quantity of foods you have, there will be a way to adjust the temperature controls properly.
If there are a lot of foods in the fridge, turn the temperature dial to 6 or 7. Meanwhile, if the refrigerator is storing less food, turn the temperature dial to 4.
- Suitable temperature for the freezer
The appropriate temperature for preserving fresh food in the freezer, recommended by many experts, is about -18 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, bacteria and molds in food cannot grow. If the refrigerator does not have too many items, you can keep your freezer around -16 degrees Celsius to save more energy.
