 Bright ideas

 
Keep it clean!
Unplug the refrigerator and remove the dust from the back or bottom coils every six months. Make sure there is at least 8 cm (3 inches) of air space between the back of the refrigerator and the wall, and at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) on both sides of the refrigerator to allow for good air circulation
