Fridge Freezer Temperatures

The required temp for a fridge in the UK should be approx 3-5°C (39°F) and -18°C (-2°F) for the freezer. Cold winters in the UK for example 2009-2010 has been so cold, the appliance can be switched down slightly on your settings, saving energy, as well as, in the respect of the motor, because, it is not working as hard to keep the fridge freezer cool, the appliance stays at the required temperature for a longer period of time.

The climate in parts of Alaska is a subarctic climate with short, cool summers. Perfect for using the outside snow as a freezer, as inhabitants did years ago, however, fridge temperatures are, actually, significantly higher than the UK. At approx +50°F (-15°C) keeping the food ironically warmer!
