1. Tips for Using Your Refrigerator to Save Electricity and Prolong Its Lifespan
Refrigerators need to be placed in a well-ventilated, cool place. According to refrigeration experts (Air conditioning, refrigerators, washing machines), refrigerators should be placed in well-ventilated areas, avoiding narrow corners of the house. The back and sides of the refrigerator must be at least 10cm away from the wall to ensure heat dissipation. To ensure airflow around the refrigerator and to prevent moisture, you can raise the refrigerator more than 5cm from the ground. Excessive ambient temperature transmitted to the refrigerator will affect the cooling capacity and consume more electricity.

Proper Food Storage to Save Electricity
Regularly clean your refrigerator every 1-2 months to prevent bacteria and mold from forming
Limit turning on/off and opening the refrigerator door to save electricity. Avoid frequent startups as each one consumes a large amount of electricity. If the refrigerator is not used for a long time, unplug it, clean it, let it dry, and cover it with a dust-proof material before closing the door.
Use glass or ceramic dishes to better balance the temperature inside the refrigerator than plastic containers. Remember to cover the lid to prevent water condensation.
Avoid placing food directly against the walls of the refrigerator. Regularly clean the back of the refrigerator to prevent dust buildup, especially if you have pets, as this area tends to attract pet hair.
