Setting the right temperature for your fridge is very important. Imagine reaching out for the milk for your cereal, and it turns out to be a big ice block, or worse spoilt. It is a common misconception that we can raise the temperature of the fridge during winter. However, it should be kept at an optimum range.
Hence, Rockwell, the supplier of top-end commercial refrigerators in India, suggests that you always keep an eye on the dials inside the fridge to ensure that the temperature stays steady during winter.
The first question that you need to ask the refrigerator company before purchasing one is till what temperatures will the machine bear?
To keep your meat, vegetables and fruits fresh, the fridge’s temperature should be between 0 to 5 degrees Celsius. Sometimes microbes can grow if the temperature is at an odd level, such as in and around 50 degrees Celsius. In the freezer, the temperatures should be around -15 degrees Celsius.
Sometimes, filling the fridge’s space with jugs of water will help stabilize the refrigerator’s temperature and cut down on temperature swings from the door being opened. A refrigerator will keep food cold for about 4 hours if the door is kept closed. A full freezer will hold its temperature for about 48 hours (24 hours if half-full).
Here are some of the precautions you need to follow during winter.
Watch Out for Thawing
Refrigerators work when the outside temperature rises above a certain level, typically around 36 degrees Celsius. It stays running until the outside temperature returns to normal. If the outside temperature drops and stays below this set temperature, your refrigerator stops working, including the freezer section. All the food that was frozen might be thawed down. Not all refrigerators do this, but the ones with two thermometers are less likely to experience this issue. Hence Rockwell, with the best commercial refrigerators in India, gives you a hassle-free experience.
Look for a Heater
Ever noticed how outside refrigerators continue to keep running even in winters? These industrial ones come with an internal heater that keeps the temperature controlled. Refrigerators used for household purposes usually have a heater but check yours for one. Like the ones made by Rockwell, most refrigerators have come with heater-coil kits that can be added to an existing fridge. Having an internal heating element is essential for the fridge to run with low outdoor temperatures.
Importance of the Temperature Range
In most refrigerators, the thermometer is in the food section. A fully functioning refrigerator usually has that one with a thermometer and an internal coil. This system is essential for maintaining a proper temperature range inside the fridge.
