Godrej Refrigerators
- Install the refrigerator away from direct sunlight, draught of air or any other heat generating appliances like stove, oven
etc.
- In case of models with external condenser, clean the condenser coils periodically
(once in 6 months). Always keep them free from dust and lint.
- Refrigerator components like compressors generate heat, so provide enough breathing space around refrigerator (min. 100
mm) for continuous airflow around refrigerator. If the heat can't escape, the refrigerator's cooling system will work harder and consume
more electrical energy.
- Check door gasket for any air leakage. Door gaskets should provide a tight seal. Replace gaskets that have become hard or
out of shape or leaving small gap.
- In case of direct cool or conventional models, defrost it regularly (when frost builds up over freezer is about 6 mm thick).
A defrosted refrigerator operates more efficiently than one that is ice-coated.
- Keep the frequency & duration of door opening to the minimum. For this, think about what you need to take out or store before
opening refrigerator door. You'll reduce the amount of time the door remains open.
- Fully loaded refrigerator is fine but ensure adequate air circulation inside.
- Never place hot food inside the refrigerator; allow it to cool it room temperature before storing in the refrigerator. Also
allow foods to cool in refrigerator prior to freezing.
For proper food safety, food should be refrigerated within two hours of being cooked.
Leave container covers loosely fitted/little open so that food cools faster then tightly covered.
- Cover/wrap all food stuff; especially liquids, leafy vegetables etc.
- Do not use refrigerator on maximum setting unnecessarily.
- Myth – Refrigerators are supposed to add coldness to the food inside of it.
- Truth – Refrigerators do not add cooling, they actually remove the heat from the food
and the air inside it. This heat is then transferred to the exterior condenser that in turn is absorbed by the air in the room.
