At level 1, the refrigerator’s temperature usually ranges between 2-5°C, which is still sufficient to keep food fresh while consuming less electricity.
This same adjustment can be applied to the freezer compartment, lowering energy usage while maintaining food safety.
By making this small adjustment, households can significantly reduce electricity bills without compromising food storage.
Adjusting the Temperature Based on Food Storage Needs

If the refrigerator is not full, reduce the cooling level to avoid unnecessary power consumption.
If storing large amounts of food, increasing the cooling level ensures proper preservation.
