Introduction: Many people have doubts about the use of refrigerators. When you buy a refrigerator, don’t you just put the food that needs to be kept fresh? No, this is just one of the ways to use the refrigerator.

Regardless of whether a refrigerator is expensive or not, most families can still afford it. Our main need when buying a refrigerator home is to keep food fresh. Most people only know how to put the food in, and then open the refrigerator and take it out when they want to eat it. However, they do not know the correct way to use the refrigerator, which will shorten the service life of the refrigerator or cause it to malfunction.

Below is the method of using the refrigerator that I have compiled for you. From the initial selection of the refrigerator to the method of buying it home and using it , I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

1. How to choose a refrigerator

Many people don’t know much about how to choose a refrigerator. Most of them buy it based on cheapness and capacity. Some friends don’t know how to choose at all. Because there are different brands of refrigerators on the market with different looks, and because I don’t know how to do it, I am even more confused.

Sometimes I don’t understand some of the professional terminology I hear. It seems to make sense, but I feel like something is wrong. After thinking about it for a long time, I still don’t know what is wrong.

In fact, it is not difficult to choose a refrigerator. We can first understand the style, capacity, and door opening method. First determine the style you like, and then choose the capacity according to your daily storage needs ( There are three people in the family who recommend using 400L For refrigerators with a capacity above ), whether you prefer double doors or cross doors depends on your preference.

In terms of the material of the refrigerator, there are glass panels and sheet metal panels. From my personal point of view, I do not recommend buying a glass panel refrigerator. If the refrigerator is accidentally dropped on the ground, the glass will break. Not safe.

Next, we have to look at the cooling method of the refrigerator. The cooling methods are divided into air cooling, mixed cooling, and direct cooling. How to distinguish them?

Let’s put it this way, the refrigeration generated by replacing the heat with the evaporator and sending it to the refrigerator is air cooling. This kind of refrigerator has no frost, which saves the trouble of defrosting; the ones that need to be removed by hand belong to direct Cold ; the use of mixed cooling as the refrigeration method belongs to mixed cooling.

Which of the three refrigeration methods is more suitable?

From the perspective of preservation effect, the mixed-cooling refrigerator is more practical, but a bit expensive, which many people cannot accept. The air-cooled refrigerator has a slightly worse preservation effect. The fresh-keeping effect of direct-cooling refrigerators is okay, but it is outdated. It depends on which type of refrigerator cooling method you can accept.

In addition, the refrigeration cycle methods of the refrigerator must also be clearly distinguished. There are single system single cycle, single system double cycle, dual system double cycle, and multi-system multiple cycle. It may seem confusing, but you can still distinguish it if you look closely. , either single or even. If you want to cool down faster, dual-system dual-cycle refrigerator is faster, and the most important thing is that it will not carry odor .

The energy efficiency of the refrigerator must be looked at, because among household products, only the refrigerator operates 24 hours a day. In terms of energy efficiency, it is recommended to choose Level 1, and it is not recommended to choose Level 3 or above.

Finally, what we need to look at is the additional functions of the refrigerator. With the continuous improvement in the past, refrigerators are becoming more intelligent. The more additional functions you see, the more they appear. They seem very complicated. In fact, you don’t need to care about them at all. Additional features, as they are of no practical use at all.

For example, for freshness records and shelf life reminders, you need to record the time of everything you put in it, as well as the expiration time. When there are many things, recording is very troublesome. Automatic recording is okay, but the problem is that you have to enter it manually, which is too difficult. Bar!

Another example is the smart voice control function of the refrigerator. You only need to speak to open or adjust the temperature of the refrigerator. To be honest, I really haven’t experienced any big effects. If you open the refrigerator with your voice, you don’t have to leave when you take things out. Go and pick it up?

This is not considered useless. I think the most useless additional function is the refrigerator equipped with a large screen. You can put it in the kitchen and watch TV while cooking. Do you have free time when cooking? In addition, annoying ads pop up from time to time, forget it.

There are many additional functions that I won’t go into. In short, when choosing a refrigerator, the most important things to pay attention to are practical functions such as moisturizing, preservation, and safety. Other functions really have no effect.

2. Where is the best place to place the refrigerator at home?

The place where the refrigerator can be placed is generally in the kitchen or living room, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. If the refrigerator is placed in the kitchen, you can open the refrigerator door and get whatever you want when cooking, which saves time.

But we usually use gas tanks to make fires. If we accidentally fail to close the gas tightly or forget to turn off the gas, once the gas leaks and we have a refrigerator in the kitchen, it is easy to cause accidents and pose a huge safety hazard.

Just looking at this, I personally do not recommend placing the refrigerator in the kitchen . In addition, the high temperature in the kitchen can easily shorten the service life of the refrigerator.

Putting the refrigerator in the living room, watching TV in the living room, and wanting to go to the refrigerator to get things is closer, it can also improve the safety factor and extend the service life of the refrigerator.

However, I would like to remind everyone that it is best not to place other household appliances on the refrigerator, such as power strips, juicers, ovens, etc. The placement of these household appliances can easily shorten the service life of the refrigerator.

3. The correct way to use the refrigerator in daily life

① Precautions for using the refrigerator

I found that some friends like to use the same socket with the refrigerator in the living room . I don’t agree with this behavior.

Because the refrigerator starts with a large current, it consumes several times more power than daily operation. Color TVs consume more power. If they are started at the same time, the socket will easily burn out.

Secondly, it is not recommended to not use the refrigerator for too long (up to 100 days), because if the refrigerator is not used for a long time and the outdoor temperature is too high, it will accelerate the corrosion of the pipeline and shorten the service life of the refrigerator.

When you stop using the refrigerator, you should clean the inside of the refrigerator and place it in a ventilated place. If you don't clean the refrigerator and don't use it, it will turn yellow and produce odor in a few days.

② What is the appropriate temperature setting for the refrigerator?

The refrigerator is not just about putting the food in. Its temperature needs to be adjusted according to different foods and freezing time. For example, for fresh fruits, the general fresh-keeping layer is set at 4℃~6℃. That’s it.

The freezing layer is generally for meat. When the storage time is long, the temperature is recommended to be adjusted at -18°C, and the short-term adjustment is around -10°C.

③ Refrigerator maintenance

Refrigerators also need maintenance to be durable, otherwise the service life will be shortened and they will break down quickly. Do not expose the refrigerator to strong light. Place it in a ventilated and diffused place. At the same time, keep it away from the stove. The door seal needs to be cleaned frequently to maintain the suction power of the refrigerator.

Let’s talk at the end:

When you buy a refrigerator, you don’t just put things in it, you also need to know how to choose the refrigerator and how to use it! Not only refrigerators, but also other household items, such as sofas, wardrobes, toilets, etc. When we decorate the house, we should first understand them clearly.
