It is important to find the right place for your refrigerator in the summer. Keeping it close to a heat source such as an oven or direct sunlight can greatly affect how well it cools things down. This extra heat could cause your fridge to have to work more in order to keep the inside at the temperature you want.
If possible, put your refrigerator in a well-ventilated area and give it space so that air can circulate around it properly. Do not push it up against walls or cabinets which may block off airflow.
- Defrost Regularly
Frost builds up on evaporator coils inside your refrigerator and can insulate them from effectively absorbing heat. This will make the compressor work harder and longer, which uses more energy while decreasing how much cooling happens. So, during summers, defrosting should be done frequently.
With manual defrost refrigerators, watch for frost on freezer walls and defrost them when thickness exceeds 0.6 cm (1/4 inch). For self-defrosting models just make sure they are clean and nothing blocks melted ice from draining away.

- Removable anti-bacterial gasket allow easy cleaning.
- Peace of mind with 2 year warranty on the product and 10 year warranty on the compressor.
- Avoid Hot Leftovers
Before storing leftovers inside the fridge during summer make sure they cool down first because putting hot/warm food items into it can raise internal temperatures thus forcing the fridge to work hard in bringing them down again.
Therefore, make sure to let cooked food and drinks cool off before storing them. Use shallow containers to make it faster or cover hot dishes with lids when cooling outside the refrigerator.
- Allow Proper Ventilation
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation around the refrigerator for efficient cooling. Leave enough space particularly at the back and sides so that air can freely flow through it. Do not block this area with cartons or any other materials that may restrict smooth flow of air.
Haier India refrigerators have been designed with advanced systems for promoting airflow within compartments leading to uniform distribution of coldness.
- Regularly Clean
Regular cleaning of your fridge will help it perform better during hot seasons when it needs to work harder to keep things cold. Too much frost may reduce its ability to cool thus making the machine overwork itself unnecessarily. Therefore, you should defrost frequently as guided by the manufacturer’s instructions.
Furthermore, always ensure that both inner and outer surfaces of the refrigerator are cleaned so as not to leave any dirt, stains or odors that can affect cooling efficiency. Haier India’s fridges come with spill-proof toughened glass shelves which are more durable and easier to clean.
- Avoid Overfilling the Refrigerator
It can be tempting to try and maximize refrigerator space by overfilling it with food, but this actually makes the appliance work harder. Excess items can block vents and prevent cold air from circulating properly. Food packed tightly together also traps moisture, which leads to spoilage. The key is to leave sufficient room between items so air can flow freely. About 25-30% open space is ideal. Avoid cramming door shelves to full as well. Only keep what can fit comfortably without inhibiting door closure. A little empty room goes a long way in helping the refrigerator maintain proper temperatures and keep food fresh longer.
The Haier 712 L Bottom Mounted French Door Refrigerator With Inverter Compressor HRB-738BG comes with following features:

- Jhukna Mat reduces bending by up to 90% for easier access.
- Dual humidity zones maintain freshness for fruits and vegetables.
- Digital control panel enables control without opening the door.
- Removable anti-bacterial gaskets allow easy cleaning.
- Stabilizer free operation saves money, protects from voltage fluctuations, extends lifespan, and improves energy efficiency.
- Peace of mind with 2 year warranty on product and 10 years on compressor.
- Reduce Door Opening Times
Refrigeration performance drops when doors are opened frequently, especially in hot weather. Each time you open it, cold air goes out as warm air comes in, hence making the refrigerator work harder to maintain desired temperatures. Therefore, store and retrieve food items in such a way that reduces the number and duration of door openings.
Some functionalities have been added by Haier India to their fridges so as to counteract effects brought about by frequent door opening like having a smart screen on Haier 651 L Smart Bottom Mounted French Door Refrigerator With Inverter Compressor HRB-758SIKGU1.

Tips On How To Save Energy Used By Your Fridge
Apart from what has already been said about keeping things cold, there are other methods through which one can reduce power consumption by a refrigerator during summer:
1. Make sure the door seals are tight and clean. Worn or dirty seals allow cold air to escape.
2. Arrange your food in a way that allows you to find what you want easily.
3. Use energy-saving settings on your refrigerator when applicable.
4 Ensure your refrigerator is level so as to create a tight seal that prevents cold air from escaping.
5. Pull your fridge away from the wall and clean.
Conclusion
As temperatures soar this summer, it is important to take preventive steps that will ensure your refrigerator continues running at its best performance level while using minimum power. You can help beat the heat by following these seven cooling tips mentioned in this article and keep drinks chilled as well as food fresh during hot sunny days.
We understand how hot an Indian summer can get so our refrigerators have been designed with superior cooling efficiency in mind as well as convenience features which are crucial for Indian homes where space may be scarce or not easily accessible like most western nations.
