Actual Gas/LPG Fridge Temperatures

Fridge temperatures should be at 8°C or below, ideally it’s suggested that your gas/LPG fridge be between 0-4°C and the freezer part of your fridge (top section) operate at -18°C or below. It is also a good idea to get a fridge thermometer which attaches on the outside of your fridge to let you know the temperature inside the fridge at a glance.

Gas Fridge/Electric Fridge

Some gas fridges come with dual electric and gas so when you get you food trailer/van home you can plug it straight into the mains, this saves you having to take everything out of the fridge. If you get around to it, try and get yourself a fridge lock so that the door does not fly open when you are driving your food trailer/van.

Cleaning Your Gas/LPG Fridge

Not much to say about this apart from clean your fridge regularly by using some soapy water to wipe out the fridge or a mixture of water and vinegar is supposed to work wonders so I’ve been told.Also be aware of surprised visits from enviromental health officers who will want to see inside of your fridge so make sure you store all your meats (or high risk foods)at the bottom of your fridge.
