Instruction manual
1
Kettle. If you look inside the kettle, you can see a large amount of scale. It turns out that it is it that increases energy consumption by 2-3 times, so at least once a week remove scale from the spiral. If you buy a new kettle, then try to buy it without a spiral.
2
Iron. Ironing occurs regularly, so a lot of energy is wasted. However, the iron is able to retain heat, so turn it off 5 minutes before the end of ironing, the remaining heat will be enough to smooth out the rest of things.
3
Microwave A microwave oven is quite a convenient fixture, but it spends a lot of heat, therefore it is beneficial to heat only products weighing up to 500 g in it. A larger amount is cheaper to heat on a stove, and also faster.
4
Vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner needs to be cleaned more often, so you will have to vacuum less, and therefore save money. If you have crumbled cereals or something else, then you can use a broom, it does not take much time and you do not have to drag a vacuum cleaner - both more profitable and more rational.
5
Washer. Choose your washing mode and time correctly. In addition, do not overload the machine, this is how energy is wasted. Look at the labels before washing - this will allow you to choose the right mode.
6
Refrigerator. If you have an old refrigerator, or a refrigerator that forms ice, then you need to defrost it every 2 weeks. So you can save on electricity not only on the correct power consumption of the device, but also by turning it off for a while. Also, do not overload the refrigerator with products, this disrupts its operation.
Useful advice
Always turn off the lights, TV, computer, etc. when you do not need them.
