The refrigerator is indispensable and the largest household appliance in every home. Currently, two-compartment refrigerators are more widespread. You can live without a vacuum cleaner, food processor, or even a gas or electric stove - but you can't do without a refrigerator in your home. In order to choose a reliable refrigerator, you need to follow the following rules.
Instructions
Step 1
The dimensions of the refrigerator should be slightly less than the size of the doorway openings in the elevator, the entrance door to the room and apartment. This is especially true for large and deep Side-by-Side models.
Step 2
It is worth considering in advance where you are going to install it. To do this, it is worth considering not only the area of the refrigerator itself, but also the surrounding space. Visually display the machine in an open state so that it cannot interfere with passage and access to other objects. On some models, it is even possible to change the side of the door opening.
Step 3
It is worth paying attention to the "No Frost" system installed in the refrigerator, which avoids constant defrosting. But on the recommendation of specialists, this equipment must still be turned off periodically, at least once a year for preventive cleaning.
Step 4
The inner surface of the refrigerator is made of food grade plastic only. Therefore, knowing some of the subtleties, you can easily distinguish a good polymer from a fake. Since low-quality raw materials emit a strong unpleasant odor, unscrupulous sellers sell such refrigerators only after plugging them into a power outlet. Because in the cold, plastic usually freezes and stops spreading a strong smell, but as soon as you turn off the power to the device, the smell will reappear. Therefore, the refrigerator should initially be chosen only when it is turned off.
Step 5
When choosing the volume of the refrigerator, you should be guided by the number of family members. So, for a family of three or four people, equipment with a capacity of 300 - 320 liters is quite suitable. Although many people are more often guided by the principle "the more, the better."
Step 6
Pay attention to the noise level of the refrigerator. He shouldn't annoy you in any way. But be aware that, in general, it is almost impossible to make this device work silently. It is only in large devices that special noise-absorbing materials can be installed or individual parts can be insulated, and in refrigerators there are only two of them - a fan and a compressor.
Step 7
It is worth paying attention to the elastic rubber seals on the doors, to the tightness and smoothness of their closing. On some models, special door closers can be installed, which will not allow you to accidentally leave a small crack because of a poorly closed door. The installed special push-off handles will provide you with a convenient opening of the refrigerator doors, even when your hands are busy.
