Energy Saving Tips
Save Energy & Money by following these simple steps:
Regularly defrost your ice box (if your fridge has one) - ice build up significantly reduces cooling efficiency and results in higher energy use.
Locate your appliance in an area with low ambient temperature, i.e. away from radiators, cookers or from direct sunlight.
Always close the door.
Look out for the energy saving recommended logo on fridges & freezers.
