Transport
Theoretically, there are three possible options for transporting the refrigerator: standing, lying and at an angle to the floor. However, it should be noted that the second and third options are for the most desperate, ready to risk the integrity of the refrigeration unit. Any hummock or pothole along the route of the technique is able to disable it, even if all the security measures are observed, and the cost of shipping will result in expensive repairs.
The refrigerator should be transported in an upright position, having previously removed and separately packed all the sliding elements( shelves, boxes).The device itself also does not interfere with packing in soft material and securely fixing the door with tape or belt. The position of the device in the machine is also fixed with straps to full stability.
Installing
Installing the refrigerator near the heating devices( batteries, boilers, fan heaters, and even on warm floors) is strictly prohibited. Not only will you have a stable over-expenditure of electricity, so the likelihood of breakage of the compressor, the evaporator and other important elements of the refrigeration system will increase at times.
A well-ventilated place remote from the heaters is optimal. For some models of Samsung and Atlant refrigerators there is a recommendation of installation with a slight inclination backwards for convenient location of products and simple closing of the door.
Also, the rules for operating the refrigerator say: any handling and mobile work is performed with extreme care, so as not to damage the refrigerant pipes, the leakage of which will negatively affect the quality of the device.
Commissioning
It is not recommended to switch on the device immediately after installation. After moving, he should "rest" a couple of hours, so that all working fluids return to their place.
The socket must be grounded, the conductor of the refrigerator must not be squashed, bent at an acute angle or stretched, the use of an extension cord is unacceptable.
Care for the
Refrigeration System Regardless of the model, the operating rules of the refrigerator prescribe careful care for all the camera devices.
Untimely washing can cause accumulation of bacteria, mold spores and unpleasant odor. Hygienic cleaning with a disinfectant is mandatory. To avoid unpleasant odors, use odor scavengers for the refrigerator.
Ice, frost, snow should be cleaned regularly with a soft spatula, categorically not using knives and metal objects. Even on the walls of models with the function of no frost, a small layer of frost can periodically appear, and it should be removed without waiting for accumulation. Be sure to monitor drainage sinks - in case of blockages, the auto-defrost function will stop working normally. In the case of refrigerators that require periodic defrosting, the care of the freezer also involves the removal of frost during periods between defrosts.
It is strictly forbidden to put products in the refrigerator much warmer than room temperature - all important elements can fail.
Cleaning of all surfaces, as well as the radiator and evaporator, is carried out with soft cloths with mild detergents.
In the event of interruptions in the normal operation of the device, the operating rules of the refrigerator are recommended to contact the masters, and not try to fix it yourself. It may be necessary to refuel the system with freon or other refrigerant. A specialist will take a minimum of time and effort, and without it you still can not cope.
According to GOST the refrigerator should serve 15 years and during this time it is supposed to carry out one repair. When observing the manual on the use of refrigeration units, household appliances will last much longer.
