Jordan | Important regarding mobile phone chargers

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Weather of Arabia - The Energy and Minerals Regulatory Authority provided advice to Jordanian citizens regarding the use of mobile phone chargers. The authority explained that only 5% of the total charger consumption goes to charging the phone, while the rest is wasted if the charger is left plugged in all the time.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> As temperatures rise in Jordan, the need to think about how to rationalize energy consumption increases, as the increasing demand for cooling leads to higher electricity bills and increased pressure on energy networks. In this context, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources issued a guide to conserve and rationalize energy consumption, which includes a set of Simple guidelines for individuals and institutions to reduce consumption:</p><ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Refrigerators and freezers</strong></h3></li></ul><ol style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Reduce the number of times you open the refrigerator.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Cover cooked foods and liquids that release water vapor.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Do not store food in quantities exceeding the capacity of the refrigerator.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Set the refrigerator temperature between (3-5) degrees Celsius, and the freezer temperature to (-18) degrees Celsius.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Do not place the refrigerator near any heat source or expose it to sunlight.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Conduct regular maintenance of the refrigerator and close the leakage holes.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Choose the most efficient, least energy consuming refrigerator that carries an energy efficiency label.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Defrost periodically if the refrigerator does not have an automatic defrosting device.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Clean the refrigerator condenser (rear grille) twice a year.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Ensure the validity of the rubber seals around the refrigerator door (inch).</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> When taking foods out of the freezer, it is best to thaw them by placing them in the refrigerator a while before using them.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Arranging things inside the refrigerator to make it easy to quickly insert and remove things.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Disconnect the power from the refrigerator when leaving the house for a period of more than a week, clean it and leave the door open.</li></ol><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> You may also be interested in:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D9%84%D8%A7-%D8%AA%D9%82%D8%AA... not approach it..
