this from happening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe latest fridges have food sensors inside them so red lights shine when food starts to go off and you can choose to either eat or cook the food in good time before it starts to go off,\u201d said Allan Hirsch.<\/p>\n<p>To keep your fridge working efficiently at this time, make sure the door is not opened and closed too often, don\u2019t put hot leftovers in the fridge, vacuum the condenser coils (back of the outside of the fridge) to keep them free of dust and grease, make sure the temperature is not too cold and cover food to reduce moisture build up.<\/p>\n<p>Visit Hirsch\u2019s website at www.hirschs.co.za for more information.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Hav<\/strong><strong>e a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p
