- Do not open door frequently.
- Set thermostat in medium cooling position.
- Keep adequate space from wall.
- Do not overload the refrigerator.
- Defrost your refrigerator regularly.
- Regularly defrost manual-defrost refrigerators and freezers; frost buildup increases the amount of energy needed to keep the motor running.
- Leave enough space between your refrigerator and the walls so that air can easily circulate around the refrigerator.
- Don't keep your refrigerator or freezer too cold.
- Make sure your refrigerator door seals are airtight.
- Cover liquids and wrap foods stored in the refrigerator. Uncovered foods release moisture and make the compressor work harder.
- Do not open the doors of the refrigerators frequently.
- Don't leave the fridge door open for longer than necessary, as cold air will escape.
- Use smaller cabinets for storing frequently used items.
- Avoid putting hot or warm food straight into the fridge.
Mixers
- Avoid dry grinding in your food processors ( mixers and grinders) as it takes longer time than liquid grinding.
Electric Stove
- Turn off electric stoves several minutes before the specified cooking time.
- Use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the cooking coil.
Gas Stove
- When cooking on a gas burner, use moderate flame settings to conserve LPG.
- Remember that a blue flame means your gas stove is operating efficiently.
- Yellowish flame is an indicator that the burner needs cleaning.
- Use pressure cookers as much as possible.
- Use lids to cover the pans while cooking.
- Bring items taken out of refrigerators (like vegetable, milk etc.) to room temperature before placing on the gas stove for heating.
- Consumes 50 % less energy than conventional electric / gas stoves.
- Do not bake large food items.
- Unless you're baking breads or pastries, you may not even need to preheat.
- Don't open the oven door too often to check food condition as each opening leads to a temperature drop of 25ยบ C.
