Adam says he’s a multiple fridge owner and didn’t know what they need to be set at, he says the fridge never stops being used.

 

Adam is now commenting on the wasted electricity and food energy units, if you’re using the energy to power the fridges to be almost cold enough but not enough, it’s as good as wasted, which then causes you to waste the milk energy units.
