Refrigeration

• The most efficient temperature to run your fridge is between 3 degrees C and 4 degrees C and your  freezer is between -15 degrees C and -18 degrees C.
• Ensure fridge and freezer doors aren't left open unnecessarily.
• If you don’t have a frost-free freezer, you should consider defrosting it every six months or whenever the frost buildup reaches around 5mm.
• To test the condition of the seals on your fridge, place a piece of paper in the door. It should hold firm when the door is closed. If it doesn't, consider replacing the seals.
• Where possible, consolidate stock to reduce the need for additional refrigeration, and cover display units when not in use.
