Hi folks:

There was a person on the forum who did some testing on the Vitrifrigo 
refrigerator, and charted the temperatures of the freezer versus the 
refrigerator section at various settings.  The name Richard Jones sticks in 
my head, but I'm not sure if that's correct. At any rate, I'm looking for 
that data. My refrigerator section is hovering at about 29�, but I'm afraid 
if I change the setting I would give up the ability of the freezer to freeze 
things. Yes, I realize at 29� I'm already going to freeze things, but this 
is also at an ambient temperature of about 68�. I think this is going to 
change once I get out into 80� temperatures later today. I just wanted to 
double check the data though.

I'm not sure if anyone else has plotted the electrical usage, but on my 
"watts up" meter it appears I've used almost 20 amp hours in 21 hrs, so 
about one amp per hr, which I thought was actually pretty amazing. This is 
the first time I've actually tested the fridge without any other accessories 
running, so thought I would pass that along.
