5. Save electricity when using an iron

Do not use the iron in a room with air conditioning or when the clothes are still wet. Cleaning the metal surface of the iron will help the iron work more effectively. After turning off the power, you can still iron 2 more sets of clothes because the heat of the iron decreases slowly.
6. Save electricity when using the washing machine

9. Save electricity for the refrigerator

For example: one person uses a 70-100 liter refrigerator; 2-3 people use a 100-150 liter refrigerator; 3-4 people use a 150-250 liter refrigerator. For a family of 4 or more, using a refrigerator with a capacity of 250-350 liters will save more electricity. The refrigerator should be located 10 cm from the wall. Clean the refrigerator regularly and place it away from heat sources. Check the tightness of the refrigerator door, if the door cannot hold the foil when closed, it is time to repair or replace the door gasket. Do not use a refrigerator that is too old. Refrigerators manufactured in the 1980s consume 75% more electricity than new, super-efficient models. To use the refrigerator most effectively, set the temperature for the refrigerator to 4 degrees Celsius, and for the freezer to -17 degrees Celsius.
