They preserve our food and ensure it maintains its nutrients. To fulfill its task and help you save money while having less environmental impact as well, there are some things to keep in mind to get the best out of your fridge.<\/p>\n<h2>Pick nature-friendly fridge<\/h2>\n<p>With constant running and their irreplaceable role, refrigerators can consume quite some energy. However, not all refrigerators are created equal. At Gorenje we have created <a href=\"https:\/\/international.gorenje.com\/greentouch\/cooling\">GreenTouch refrigerator<\/a> models that <strong>consume up to 65 % less energy<\/strong> than refrigerators in class F. This can make a difference in your wallet and on the environment. Besides that, they also have an <strong>InverterCompressor<\/strong> and some models also include <strong>AdaptTech<\/strong> which are great features that result in lower energy consumption and a longer lifespan. Double win!<\/p>\n<p>To make <a href=\"https:\/\/lifesimplified.gorenje.com\/intl\/sustainable-savings-with-gorenje-fridges\/\">Gorenje refrigerators<\/a> leave even less impact they are also made from <strong>18 % recycled materials<\/strong> and are <strong>62 % recyclable<\/strong>, meaning every part except the electronics can be recycled. On the other hand, the foil they are packaged in is <strong>100 % recyclable<\/strong> and we even <strong>reduced printed materials by 67 %<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Use EcoMode<\/h2>\n<p>Many Gorenje refrigerators have a special <strong>EcoMode<\/strong> which is designed to maintain optimal temperature for lower energy consumption and better food preservation.<\/p>\n<h2>Maintain your refrigerator<\/h2>\n<p>To make sure your refrigerator serves you for a long time and in the best way possible, you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/lifesimplified.gorenje.com\/intl\/clean-out-your-fridge-for-a-clean-planet\/\">clean it<\/a> and maintain it. This usually requires only occasional checkups like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the seals and replace them if they are damaged or not working properly.<\/li>\n<li>Clean condenser coils with a bristle brush to remove dirt and dust buildup.<\/li>\n<li>Defrost the refrigerator regularly. Build-up of frost and ice can lead to energy waste. So, clean it regularly and make it easier to maintain cool temperature. Gorenje has developed a special <strong>NoFrost<\/strong> system, that prevents frost and ice build-up inside the refrigerator. It makes it a perfect option plus it makes your food stay fresh longer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Make sure you close the doors<\/h2>\n<p>This one sounds obvious, yet it is not that easy to achieve. Many of us are guilty of leaving the door open for an unnecessary amount of time or forgetting to close them completely. This results in food and energy waste. Luckily Gorenje refrigerators can be monitored and controlled through a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.connectlife.io\/\">ConnectLife app<\/a> that sends you a notification, if you left the door open, if the temperature drops, or if there have been other inconveniences.<\/p>\n<h2>Use special functions and compartments<\/h2>\n<p>Good <a href=\"https:\/\/lifesimplified.gorenje.com\/intl\/keeping-food-fresh-with-gorenje-refrigerators\/\">refrigerators<\/a> are designed with users, their needs and their foods requirements in mind. At Gorenje all parts of the refrigerator ensure best conditions thanks to <strong>MultiAirFlow 360\u00b0<\/strong> and <strong>HumidityControl<\/strong> in the special drawer. With a special <strong>FreshZone<\/strong> drawer with lower temperature you can preserve aroma and flavor of fruit and vegetables and make them last up to two times longer. Another useful compartment is the <strong>Convert FreshZone<\/strong> in certain models, and <strong>ConvertZone drawer<\/strong> in others which is a meat and fish drawer that can be easily turned into another fruit and vegetables drawer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Refrigerators are a must in every kitchen.
