Too-cold temperatures waste energy, while too-warm temps lead to premature food spoilage. Make sure you don\u2019t have the temperature turned down too low. Refrigerators shouldn\u2019t be set any lower than 5\u00baC, while freezers should be \u00a0-18\u00baC. Be sure to pay attention when the seasons change; a temperature setting that works well for the winter months may need to be adjusted during hotter weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Keep an eye on frost build up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your freezer requires\nmanual defrosting, then make sure you defrost it regularly. The more ice your\nfreezer has in it, the more energy it uses. If the ice around the inside is\nmore than 1cm thick, you need to defrost it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Use frozen food to your advantage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are thawing food\nfrom the freezer, put it inside the fridge.
