A refrigerator placed against a wall or next to a heat source (oven, radiator, stovetop) will consume more energy. Make sure there is at least 5 cm of space around the refrigerator for good ventilation.

Don’t leave the door open for too long
Every time you open the door, cold air escapes, and the compressor has to work harder to restore the temperature. Get into the habit of taking out several items at once instead of repeatedly opening and closing the door.
-
Use suitable containers
Storing your food in glass or ceramic containers helps keep it cold longer, unlike plastic, which doesn’t retain temperature as well.
-
Clean your fridge regularly
A dirty refrigerator operates less efficiently and consumes more energy. Clean the door seals, air vents, and the back of the refrigerator every 2 to 3 months to avoid excessive energy consumption.
