The document provides tips for cutting the cost of refrigeration. It recommends keeping refrigerators away from heat sources like radiators, cookers, and boilers which will cause them to work harder. It also suggests setting the temperature to match recommended storage temperatures for food items. Closing refrigerator doors when not in use prevents cold air from escaping. Regular maintenance like defrosting and cleaning helps refrigerators run efficiently. Properly storing food in sealable containers helps prevent waste. Upgrading to newer, more energy efficient refrigerator models can save up to 30% on energy bills.
