Hi Guys
First trip away 5 days with the new fridge. It is a 47l freezer fridge.
What is the most efficient temp setting . I was thinking -4. I want things to remain frozen but not use excessive power .
Thanks
Jeff
I run my ARB Fridge at -1 just to keep Beer Cold :cup:
But thats in my Kamper with door opened and shut 100 times a day by kids and wife.
I run my car frige as a Freezer all the time and i need to run it at -8 or lower just to keep kids Ice Blocks frozen.
To actually have things remain frozen solid you need to go pretty low around -10
I have found if you want things to remain frozen for a few days then around -2 will do it providing they were rock solid when they went in there.
But they are really efficient as a fridge at around 1-2 degrees. As soon as you drop to zero or below they cycle ALOT more to keep it maintained when in the same ambient temp as keeping them at 2 degrees. Just my findings of course.
I have gone away for a few days and took plenty of frozen meat and had the fridge on 2 degrees and it hasnt even cycled on for a couple of days! Just the frozen meat was enough to maintain the temp. Mind you this was in Tassie.
Thanks guys gives me some starting and se what works for me.

i have an ARB 60 Litre and usually have it set to minus 4
I find at this temp things on the bottom will start to freeze (or stay frozen if they where already frozen),and the things up the top remain cold.
I use the same temp settings on my Bushman fridge and the beers are well chilled :cheers:
