Yellow Directory - Fridge Maintenance

Did you know that you should keep your fridge set to 5 degrees Celsius or below? According to recent research, most Australians don't know that cold food should be stored below this temperature. Yet this simple step can considerably reduce the chances of you or your family getting food poisoning. If possible keep a fridge thermometer in the fridge to make sure the temperature stays around 4-5 degrees Celsius.

Many fridges only have temperature settings of ' high' or ' low' or a series of numbers without showing the actual temperature. You do get some clues when your fridge is having trouble coping. If the motor stays on most of the time, or if your milk, cottage cheese, meat (particularly mince meat) or other perishables are going off quicker than they should, then this is a sign that your fridge is struggling and needs maintenance and/or adjustment.

If you here your fridge running most of the time, ring for maintenance. Your fridge is unnecessarily wasting energy and money.
