Specifications
In order to choose a refrigerator for your home, you need to carefully evaluate its parameters. There are some of the most important characteristics of refrigeration technology, which in no case should not be overlooked.
The most significant and understandable characteristic is the usable volume of the cameras of the apparatus.. The cost of the goods directly depends on it. You need to think about what the need for the size of the refrigerator you have in your family. Do you constantly eat at home, or prefer to use the services of catering. And also take into account the regularity of purchases in the store, if stocks are made for a month or at least a week, the volume of the refrigerating and freezing chambers should be appropriate.
At the same time, one should not forget about the size of the kitchen where the equipment is supposed to be placed. After all, a huge two-door unit can simply not fit in a Stalin-type dining room. And for large spacious rooms there are whole refrigerated cabinets with compartments for all types of products, and separately, a large freezer.. Analyze what sizes fit into your interior and family needs.
The width and height of the vehicle are directly related to the volume.. A narrow refrigerator can fit into any space, but it will be less spacious. Exact dimensions can always be found in the store where you plan to make a purchase, or on the Internet site.
Weight should be taken into account, for example, the owners of a private house or in dilapidated housing conditions.
The second most important parameter is the power consumption of the device.. Electricity consumption depends on the class of equipment. It is generally accepted the classification of the energy intensity of the letters of the Latin alphabet from A to G. Modern technology is produced mainly with classes A, A +, A ++. Higher classes are less common on the market, less economical to use. Devices with a class above C, are considered obsolete and unprofitable. Refrigerators from "Biryusa" have an energy efficiency class of A or B. On average, this is about 400 kW hours per year.
Refrigeration has its own mode of operation, on which energy consumption also depends. Some modern models are equipped with a convenient additional feature that allows you to transfer equipment to an economical mode, for example, if you are going on vacation.
Important in refrigeration is the number of compressors. Most budget options have one compressor. And it has some impact on the operation of the technology. For example, when you open the door of the refrigeration compartment, the cooling starts working on the entire unit, including the freezer, although we open it much less frequently, respectively, and the temperature does not rise there. Several compressors with separated zones of influence will more correctly coordinate the work of the equipment and prevent the products from overheating and freezing.
A nice bonus is the availability of an automatic defrost system. Now the majority of refrigerators are equipped with the "No Frost" system, which allows to avoid the accumulation of moisture and icing, thanks to special fans. This saves time and effort hostesses. After all, with the help of it there is no need to pull out all the products with a certain frequency, wait for complete thawing and wash the chambers. At the same time, many housewives remember this procedure for collecting melted water and accept with great gratitude automatic defrost systems.
We can not forget about the appearance of technology. It should be pleasant to the eye and fit into the interior. Now, in addition to the standard white color used in the design of the refrigerator, beige, silver, black and even imitating wood shades are used. The corners of many models are smoothed and the whole design of the device is technologically advanced and modern. When buying, you must also make sure that all mounts are secure, evenly painted, and there are no external defects.
Be sure to check the registration certificate in the implementation of the transaction, if it concerns industrial or medical refrigeration equipment. Its presence is mandatory and confirms that the device has passed the registration procedure and is entered into the database.
How to adjust
There are some rules for the installation and operation of Biryusa refrigeration equipment. Of course, they are all described in detail in the instructions for use.
First you need to properly install the refrigerator. To do this, choose a place that is far from heating devices, while the direct sunlight should not fall on the equipment. At least five centimeters should be left between the walls of the refrigerator and other cabinets or appliances for proper circulation of air flow.
The operation of the machinery "Biryusa" is designed for temperature conditions from 16 to 32 degrees Celsius. The relative humidity of the ambient air should not exceed 75%. Otherwise, the manufacturer does not guarantee the correct and long operation of the equipment.
Do not place the device in niches or build inappropriate for this model in the furniture. Indeed, in this case, again, the heat exchange with the environment will be disturbed, which will adversely affect the work of many components.
Adjusting the position of the refrigerator horizontally is done by unscrewing and screwing in special supports designed specifically for this. Keep in mind that if you install equipment unevenly, it may make noise when working. For convenience, and self-closing doors, you can slightly tilt the device toward the rear wall, about five millimeters from the horizontal axis.
After connecting the refrigerator to the network, you must wait at least four hours. And only after that you can fill it with products.
To set the temperature in the refrigeration chamber, you can use a special knob thermostat. Turning it clockwise will lower the temperature in the compartment; on the contrary, it will increase. After that, the mode will be maintained automatically. Of course, with a mechanical system, the temperature can only be set relatively relatively, focusing on one's sensations. New models are often equipped with electronic sensors, with which you can see the exact temperature in each compartment.
Also, the mode is set separately for the freezing and refrigerating chambers and then maintained without the participation of the owners.
Sometimes the owners need to move the door of the refrigerator from one side to the other.. This may occur due to the inconvenience of the layout or the location of the equipment. In general, the person will be able to hang the door of the device without certain skills and knowledge. First you need to check whether there are grooves for fixing the door on the opposite side. They can be closed with plugs. If such a possibility is provided by the manufacturer, you should equip with cross and flat screwdrivers and socket wrenches. Before you start, you must disconnect the device from the network.
Having moved the door to the other side, the handle should also be moved to the opposite end of the door. Those grooves that were used previously, but will no longer be needed, close the corresponding plugs. And be sure to check for tight doors.
When operating the device, some malfunctions can occur:
- The device does not work when connected to the network. It is necessary to check whether there is a mains voltage at all, and whether the plug is plugged in normally, whether there is a proper contact.
- The lack of lighting when opening the door involves replacing the light bulb.
- Noise and rattling when working. Perhaps the refrigerator is installed unevenly, this may cause a knock and bounce. It is necessary to adjust its position using the mounting feet. It is also possible that the refrigerant piping touches the walls of the refrigerator itself or the wall. In this case, you need to eliminate the touch.
- Unpleasant smell. It is possible that in the chamber there are products that are not hermetically sealed, or drugs that emit smell. For disposal, you must remove unpleasant-smelling foods and clean the refrigerator. It is better to wash it with warm soapy composition, then wipe it with a clean cloth and dry it.
Of course, there may be more serious problems, but in this case it is better to seek help from a service center, rather than try to solve the problem yourself.
When operating, some sounds may be present that do not require any intervention and are the norm:
- clicks when operating the temperature relay;
- gurgling coolant when circulating in the tubes;
- slight cracking when temperature changes and materials adapting to them.
