How long can Formula sit in the Fridge?
Formula should not stand in the fridge longer than 48hrs as recommanded on the back of the can.
How old is the girl who did the refrigerator pee video on heaven 666?
Apparently not old enough, because it's gone.
If you cook baked beans and forget to put it in the fridge overnight is it spoiled?
It might not be 'spoiled' but it might not be safe to eat. Depending on what might have grown in the food all those hours, you might not be able to cook it safe, either. Potentially hazardous food should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. Less time is better. At that point, the food should either be reheated to 165°F or refrigerated.
If you caught fish on Tuesday and had in refrigerator till Saturday is it safe to freeze it?
Yes, you may be within the limits. Raw fish can only keep for a few days. Look for green or white fuzziness on the fish. If the smell is okay and no fuzzies then it should be okay to freeze.
How do you charge a refrigerator using a sight glass?
To charge a refrigerator using a sight glass, you need to monitor the refrigerant flow while adding more refrigerant until the sight glass indicates a clear, bubble-free flow. This ensures that the system is adequately charged with refrigerant. Make sure to follow manufacturer instructions and industry best practices when charging the refrigerator.
How long can bratworst stay in the fridge before it should be cooked?
Meats do not last long in the refrigerator. Only about 3 to 4 days if it is raw. Then 1 to 2 days longer if cooked and placed in an airtight container. You should always cover meats when stored in the fridge.
Well, gee, I wonder why........you kept him in a fridge!
What were you thinking? They can't live in a fridge!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know how long it takes for a wooly bear caterpillar to wake up from hibernation, but I do know that they don't live in fridges, they live outside!
By Keeping the caterpillar in the fridge that will result into death of the caterpillar because of the gas component ot the Fridge
...
There is no air or daylight or warming spells in a refrigerator. Your little guy is probably dead.
Make a small box out of screen material, about 12" x 12". Leave one side open, this side will go down on the grass outside. The screen will keep your friend from getting out. Make sure there is plenty of grass, lots of different leaves and a couple of sticks inside for him. Stand the stick up so he can climb to the top if he wants to. They love clover, so plant some inside the area. Make sure you pick a place where he can get rain, get out of the sun when he wants to, and get into sun when he wants to. Don't bring him indoors. Let him hibernate. In the spring, he will eat and build the cocoon. Then you will see him become a moth or butterfly depending on what Caterpillar you have. After you see it is out of the cocoon, please let it go so it can live it's life with it's friends out in the gardens.
Yes, it is considered white goods. Prices change daily on white goods so check website listed below
How can you find out how old your Kenmore Kitchen Mate Refrigerator is?
Read the small aluminum ID plate riveted to the frame inside the door or behind the kickplate/grill.
What is the temperatureof a fridge?
the reccomended temperature of a fridge is 4-5 degrees, but it can vary
What does leaking freon look like?
Out of the MANY different types of air conditioning and freon, I can safely say many of them use oils that are brightly colored. Green, fluorescent green to be clear. And I do mean a green that will startle you in any quantity. The oil usually has a near mineral oil smell. It is very thin as oils go, and will spread out over a large area typically becoming so thin that color is hard to determine if an oily spot is found. These oily spots indicate a leak.
Note: some appear yellowish but all that I have seen are very very noticeable.
What is the difference between a fridge and a larder fridge?
a larder fridge does not have a freezer/chilling/ice box.
Why do I have fruit flies in my refrigerator and freezer?
To get rid of fruit flies in your refrigerator, thoroughly clean it out. If any food looks 'iffy', toss it out. Scrub the fridge from top to bottom, and empty the drain pan underneath the refrigerator. Fill a narrow-necked bottle half-full of white vinegar. Rub dish soap around the inside and mouth of the bottle. Place the bottle in the fridge to draw in and trap any stray fruit flies.
Can a refrigerator cause health problem if it is in a sleeping room?
No, refrigerators do not emit anything. The only thing that could happen is if you left food in it forever at it rotted.
Who makes a small refrigerator called a frigette you need to know what company makes them?
Avantiproducts.com is their web sight. They are not very proud of their product that they do not have any contact information with the cooler.
Yes, RO's can reduce pressure and flow when their filters become plugged.
How many watts are in 115 volt fridge?
The number of watts measures the power, and Ohm's laws requires us to know the current as well as the voltage to determine the power.
P = i x e
For example, if the fridge draws 10 amps at 115 volts, the power is 1150 watts.
Answer
The answer is that it depends on the fridge. Look at the nameplate information for your particular fridge; that's where you will find your answer.
The compressor does all the cooling. Those set points only control the air movements from the cooling coil area to the freezer or fridge side. So! you adjust the airflow for more or less cooling in either section and too cold in both - raise the temp. Too hot in both raise the temp setting - not the air control.
A more technical explanation
The freezer is located above the refrigerator portion, and warmer air rises. So the colder air would naturally sink to the refrigerator. However, there is a vent of a calibrated size or a damper door you can adjust to only let so much of the cool air down at a time. The thermostat is in the refrigerator, since that is where the exact temperature is more crucial, but the evaporator coils are in the freezer for the most part. There might be an extra loop of the coils in the refrigerator portion in some models, but most of the cooling takes place around the freezer box. If you have a freezer control, then that is just a door between the two cavities.
Can you prolong battery life by storage in refrigerator?
No not really. But it depends on the type of battery you are using. Basically the only battery that you can get more use out of if you put it in the refrigerator is NiMH and Nicad batteries, (mostly used for electronics) because those kinds of batteries lose their charge after a few days. So if you keep them in the fridge they will retain 90% charge for months. But other then that, putting batteries in the freezer or fridge is not recommended. Also, if you put batteries in the fridge, when you take them out you have to wait until the warm up a bit before you use them.
What happens if you turn your fridge off every night and then on again in the morning?
Even with the door closed all night the fridge will begin to warm. Leaving the door closed will slow the process but not stop it. You are taking a chance of the food being in the danger zone for too long if the fridge goes above 4 degrees. After that you have a maximum of four hours before it starts to spoil. All in all it's not a good idea.
Can you give me a tecnical description of the refrigerator?
In short, a refrigerator is a heat pump, thus the heat is pumped from the inside compartment of the refrigerator and released outside. A refrigerator consist of three active parts, a compressor, condenser and a evaporator, the compressor is pumping the refrigerant that is in a vapor form to a higher pressure so that it can change to a liquid form, but because of the high temperature generated in the compression stage and the friction of the gas through the tubes, it is not possible to liquefy until its cooled down. That is the purpose of the condenser, it is made up of a long metal tube that is coiled and covered with a heat sink to help get rid of the heat, that is the black plate at the back of the refrigerator, the liquid refrigerant is then passed through a dryer/filter to remove any sediments and possible moisture from the refrigerant then through a thin copper tube that is called a capillary tube, to the evaporator, that is the plate at the inside back of the refrigerator, in the older type single door refrigerators it is the freezing compartment at the top.
Because of the much lower pressure in the evaporator the liquid refrigerant immediately start to evaporate back to a vapor form, taking the heat out of the refrigerator inside compartment and returned to the compressor for recycling. The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by switching the compressor on and off by means of a thermostat, where the sensor of the thermostat is connected to the evaporator. At the highest point of the superheat (superheat is the difference in temperature between the inlet and outlet side of the evaporator).
