The refrigerator allows food to continue its life, enjoy its taste and get the most nutrients... And in winter you can eat as if only yesterday harvested berries or vegetables.

However, in order to be able to do this, you need to know what temperature should be in the refrigerator and freezer and be able to choose the optimal storage mode.

Forgetting to put meat or fish in the refrigerator and leaving it for several hours under the influence of high temperatures, you can say goodbye to it - a bad smell will appear, which will force you to throw the failed dish in the trash. But why does food deteriorate faster when exposed to heat?

The main reason is the multiplication of bacteria. Due to the increase in their number and activity, gases, acids and other chemical compounds are released. The lion's share of the waste products of microorganisms remains in the product, and less goes into the environment.

Dangerous bacteria such as Salmonella, Clostridia perfringens, Campylobacter, E.coli, Listeria, and Toxoplasma can enter the body through spoiled food.

Some odors caused by bacteria are difficult to get rid of. And it is not recommended to use supplies where microorganisms managed to build entire "megalopolises". Better to forget about money spent on food and not neglect your health.

Bacteria are found on any food product. Getting rid of them 100% is unrealistic. However, refrigeration equipment reduces the intensity or even suspends their activity.

As a result, the shelf life increases and practically does not decrease. nutritional value provisions. Consumers save money, protect their health and enjoy their favorite foods.

Low temperature prevents the processes of bacterial reproduction on the surface of products and inside them, as a result, the shelf life is significantly extended, the quality practically does not deteriorate, nutritional and beneficial features

Cooling in the main chamber

In most cases, the packaging of the goods contains information about which optimum temperature must be refrigerated to preserve nutritional value.

To choose the right shelf, you can use the instructions for the equipment - the manufacturers indicate the operating temperature of a particular unit, which may differ significantly for different models.

For example, this is true for Samsung and Atlant refrigerators. The average temperature of the refrigerating chamber is in the range of 2 ºС… 5 ºС.

Manufacturers of refrigeration units clearly indicate storage areas in the instructions attached to the product various products taking into account their specific qualities

Food storage areas

Refrigerators are equipped with several shelves, side compartments and 1-2 vegetable drawers. Sometimes there is another reservoir - a freshness chamber.

The latter has the lowest temperature in the tank and is used to store food that quickly deteriorates.

Do not forget about the simple but effective rules for using the refrigerator:

1. Hot food must not be placed.
2. Close the doors tightly.
3. IN refrigerator compartment place products in accordance with storage areas.

Each zone of the refrigerator has the same temperature. This is wrong, because for some products the optimal indicator is close to zero, while others “freeze” at +7 ºС.

The refrigerating chamber, in turn, can be divided into several zones, differing in temperature, which must be taken into account when installing products into equipment

Vegetables and fruits are stored at a temperature of 3 ° C… 7 ° C. They are placed in special drawers on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Some modern models are supplemented with the No Frost system.

Seafood, meat, sausage, milk, cheese belong to the group of goods that spoil quickly. Their environment is very favorable for the rapid growth of bacteria. The desired storage mode is 0 ° C… 2 ° C.

You cannot store bread in the refrigerator tropical fruits, in the freezer - apples, pears, onions, garlic, beets, carrots, potatoes and many other food products

If the refrigerator is equipped with a freshness chamber, it is better to use it. There is no - then put food on the top shelf. It is advisable to place alcoholic drinks here.

Also, other dairy products cannot be stored for a long time. For them, the optimal temperatures are 0 ° C ... 6 ° C, which corresponds to the second or third shelf. Considering the large range, read the storage conditions on the packaging. At 0 ° C… 3 ° C, store semi-finished products that are going to be cooked soon and cakes.

For chicken eggs, salads with sour cream or mayonnaise, bread, soups, the optimal temperature regime is 3 ° С ... 6 ° С. This is the middle part of the refrigerator compartment, usually the third shelf.

The lower compartment is designed to store food at a temperature of 6 ° C ... 10 ° C, which is optimal for pickles. Place vegetables and fruits in special drawers.

When cooking, use foods that are already in the refrigerator. You will be able to save a lot and literally not waste money

The compartments on the doors are part of the refrigerator from the very high temperature... Store here various sauces and juices.

The freezer can be located at the top or bottom of the unit. But in any case, the rule is relevant: the farther from the freezer, the warmer.

Each food product has special approach to storage. Consumers are afraid or simply do not know that they can change temperature regimes. A conscientious seller will ask what exactly will be in the refrigerator most often and make the necessary settings.

The latest generation refrigerators are easily adjusted to the required temperature regime. The setting can be performed by the seller at the request and recommendations of the buyer or by the owner of the equipment himself

However, with the help of a special panel, you can and should independently set the temperature regime if meat, salads and other products do not fit in the appropriate zones. Then you will pay less for electricity and you can buy more goodies.

Storing food in the freezer

The refrigerator compartment is the solution to the problem of short-term storage of food. Today - they put it in, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow - they took it away. Sometimes you need to keep the freshness of the product not for a few days, but for a couple of weeks.

Freezer compartment device

The issue of freshness is solved with the help of a freezer. She is an integral part of almost any refrigerator. It can have a different volume: from 40 to 100 liters. and more. Manufacturers also offer individual options for several hundred liters.

Conventional plastic bags and cling film not suitable for freezer storage. They will crumble and break from the cold. We need dense polyethylene

Most often, this section stores seafood, meat, vegetables and fruits. It is also a refuge for ice cream that saves in the eerie heat.

On average, the temperature in the drawers / compartments of the fridge freezer ranges from -17 ° C to -18 ° C. Depending on the filling with products, the indicator changes:

• if most of the chamber is free, then -14 ° C;
• when storing meat or when filling the freezer by more than 50% - this is -20 ° C ... -24 ° C;
• the fast freezing mode is relevant for several hours - the temperature is -30 ° C.

The freezer is equipped with special drawers or shelves. The former are present if the cold compartment is placed in the lower part of the refrigerator. And you will have to limit yourself to others at the top location.

For easy storage in the freezer and dividing food into portions or batches, freezers are equipped with shelves or containers

European Approach to Freezing

According to European standards, freezers are divided into several classes. Thanks to the latter, there are different temperature regimes. This approach saves energy, reduces wear and tear on the refrigerator and prevents food deterioration.

If you freeze some foods, they will become unusable. For example, the recommended storage temperature for mayonnaise is 0 ºС… + 18 ºС. Feel free to put it on any shelf or even the side compartment of the refrigerator.

It is advisable to defrost the freezer once or twice a year to maintain normal working conditions. If indoors elevated level moisture - more often

The storage conditions for margarine differ significantly. At a temperature of +11 ºС… + 15 ºС it is edible for 30-15 days, at +5 ºС .... + 10 ºС - 20-45 days, at 0 ºС… + 4 ºС - 60-35 days, at -9 ºС… 0 ºС -75-45 days, at -10 ºС… -20 ºС - 60-90 days.

Margarine in the freezer lasts 6 times longer than in the refrigerator. If you have purchased a lot of this product, store it at freezing temperatures.

European laboratories have carried out a similar analysis, taking into account dozens of other products. They have created universal labels for ordinary consumers.

On the temperature control panels, manufactured in accordance with the European standards of cold stores, you will find the following symbols:

• no asterisk - a few degrees below zero Celsius;
• 1 asterisk - -6 ºС;
• 2 stars - -12 ºС;
• 3 stars - -18 ºС;
• 4 stars - also -18 ºС, but for a different group of devices.

The lower the temperature in the freezer of the refrigerator, the more electricity it consumes. The cost of devices with such regulation is slightly higher. But the panel allows you to reduce energy costs.

The control panel of units produced in recent years allows you to select the temperature regime required for storing specific products. If in high rates no need, lowering the temperature will save energy

Meat storage rules

Of course, buying margarine in reserve is a dubious saving. And even if one or two packs of the product go bad, it's a small problem. But buying a few kilograms of meat 2-3 weeks before the New Year is an opportunity not to become a victim of pre-holiday price hikes.

The dependence of the duration of storage of meat on temperature is as follows.

1. Fresh meat at -14 ºС… -18 ºС - 5-6 months.
2. Fresh meat at -8 ºС… -12 ºС - a week.
3. Meat products at -18 ºС… -22 ºС - 3 months.

It seems that the difference of a few degrees Celsius is not that much. However, the shelf life can change several times at once. Therefore, a choice arises: pay a little more for electricity or, if the temperature is not low enough, throw the meat away.

Do not eat meals prepared with meat that has not been properly stored. As a result food poisoning kidneys, lungs, spleen and vascular system may be affected

From the lessons of school physics it is known that thermal insulation is provided by the flow of energy. But the potential is formed as a result of temperature differences. Therefore, in parallel with the "cooling" in the freezer, electricity costs are growing.

Features of storing chicken eggs

As the temperature in the freezer decreases, so does the shelf life of most foods. But there are also exceptions.

For example, chicken eggs do not deteriorate for a long time under the influence of low freezing temperatures. At 0 ºС… -2 ºС in the freezer, they will be suitable for up to 3 months. Nice way to forget about rotten eggs, is not it?

What will happen if the temperature drops to at least -3 ºС… -5 ºС? The embryo dies even at -4 ºС. As a result, the density of the yolk and protein will decrease. Since the temperature embossing coefficient of liquids is greater than that of solids, the shell will burst.

It is popularly believed that chicken eggs do not deteriorate for 2-3 weeks when room temperature... But it is worth considering the standards of GOST 51121. The document notes that at 0 ºС ... + 20 ºС it is necessary to store:

• dietary eggs - a week;
• table eggs - 25 days;
• washed eggs - 12 days.

The mentioned regulatory document clearly indicates the time frame, but a fairly large temperature range is given. Therefore, the people are more likely to be right than not. Humidity about 45% and temperatures up to 20 ºС are good storage conditions. However, a freezer with a few degrees below zero is the best option.

Food in the freezer must be free to circulate air. Otherwise, the devices will be problematic to cool

The right approach to fish

Fish is much healthier than meat. It is rich in protein, valuable for the body, making up as much as 20% of the mass. It has fatty acid, which prevent heart disease and vascular problems, vitamins A, D and E, which are responsible for cell growth, strong bones and muscles. When stored properly, fish pulp does not lose most of its nutrients.

According to GOST 1168, Far Eastern salmon, perch, carp, whitefish, pike perch, pike, catfish and other representatives of freshwater reservoirs are stored at -18 ° C for up to 6 months. But cod, sea \u200b\u200bbass and other inhabitants of the seas and oceans at the same temperature - up to 4 months. If the freezer is less than 10 ° C, the storage time is halved.

For efficient cooling of fish products and meat, Samsung refrigerators, for example, are equipped with the Fresh Zone - a freshness zone that provides optimal storage fresh fish

To prevent the medicine from becoming poison ...

For medicines, manufacturers of household appliances have come up with special refrigerators. The latter are distinguished by high control accuracy, the presence of light or sound messages in case of deviations from the optimal temperature range and special operating modes.

Such devices are more expensive than conventional household counterparts. However, when life is at stake, there is no choice.

In the freezer, the maximum negative temperature should not fall below -30 ºС, although in new models the user can control this indicator

When buying a medicine refrigerator, pay attention to the temperature conditions of its operation and the types of medicines that will be stored. Such models are protected from hacking. In fact, in addition to the main work, the refrigerator also performs the function of a safe.

In most cases, a lower temperature has a positive effect on the shelf life of the product. However, if an indicator of several degrees below zero is optimal for chicken eggs, then mayonnaise should be placed only in the refrigerator.

On the domestic market there are mainly freezers with an operating temperature of -18 ºС… -24 ºС. Manufacturers willingly save money, depriving the buyer of the opportunity to adjust the temperature regime.

However, if we look at it in the long term, it is better to buy a freezer with a control panel today in order to save on electricity tomorrow.

Benefits of equipment zoning

Modern refrigerators are manufactured according to the zonal principle. All countries or their individual territories are classified according to the characteristics of the climate.

For example, for a group of Scandinavian countries, models with a slightly lower thermal insulation index are relevant. The compressor is also somewhat deformed. And for the countries of the hot tropics, more powerful and wear-resistant devices are needed.

It is quite logical that if the average annual temperature in the room is several degrees higher, the refrigerator will work more intensively. Therefore, a device model for hot countries costs more than a similar one for the Scandinavians.

Observe the rules for using the refrigerator. If they are violated, the actual temperature indicator will not equal the nominal one for the selected operating mode

Often the compressor runs virtually non-stop in tropical countries. However, even under such conditions, it is problematic for him to ensure the temperature corresponding to the selected mode. Which is not surprising, when warm air with a conditional temperature of 40 ºС heats up the device from all sides.

Refrigerators for tropical countries are slightly more expensive than counterparts for cold ones. It is problematic to find them in our market, however, most technical characteristics they look more convincing.

Two main temperature functions

Fierce competition is forcing manufacturers of household appliances to come up with more and more new ways to attract the attention of the buyer.

They are no longer limited to marketing moves, but are introducing interesting technological innovations into the operation of refrigerating and freezing chambers. As a result, consumers get interesting opportunities.

The “Supercooling” option allows for a short period of time to lower the temperature in all zones of the refrigerating chamber to a minimum value of 1 ºС… 2 ºС. You can quickly chill food from multiple bags at once.

Remove the expiring shelf in the refrigerator. This way you know what to cook first.

For the freezer, the "Superfreeze" mode is relevant. The temperature drops to -24 ° C. You can freeze a chamber overflowing with food in a few tens of minutes.

Remember to put your equipment back into normal operation so you don't waste energy and keep supplies at the optimum temperature.

Terms of storage of provisions in the refrigerator:

Each food product has its own storage characteristics. This information can be found in a few seconds on the packaging or, if not available, on the Internet.

Remember to place food in appropriate areas of the refrigerator compartment. Temperature conditions allow you to create optimal storage conditions, not to wear out the device in vain and not to overpay for electricity.

Setting the optimal temperature in the refrigerator will allow:

• store food for a long time;
• preserve in food useful qualities;
• do not defrost the refrigerator often;
• extend the life of the device.

How many degrees is in the refrigerator?

The average temperature in the refrigerator should be within +2 - +5 ° C, since it is with this cooling that most products retain their useful properties, do not freeze and have more long term storage. Also, this temperature in the refrigerator allows you to save on electricity consumption, which is important.

What is the optimal temperature in the refrigerator

Modern refrigerators are more and more practical and multifunctional, they allow you to keep food in temperature zones (refrigerating, freezing, zero).

The temperature in the refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator should be between -1 and +6 ° C. Indicators below and above these standards expose food to deterioration or freezing. The optimum temperature in the refrigerator compartment is + 2- + 4 ° C.

The temperature in the freshness zone should be between -1 and 0 ° C. Vegetables, fruits, some dairy products are stored longer and keep their freshness in this temperature regime.

The normal temperature in the freezer is 18 ° C.

Optimum refrigerator temperature for popular food groups

1. Meat.
   For storage, set the temperature in the refrigerator from +1 to +3 degrees. This will allow not to freeze it too much, but prevent its early deterioration. Maximum shelf life at this temperature is 36 hours. Setting the temperature one or two degrees higher will reduce the shelf life and freshness of the meat, and lower will make it less juicy.
2. Sausage and cold meats.
   The most optimal temperature in the refrigerator is + 2- + 5 ° C. At this temperature, the product can be stored for three to seven days.
3. Cooking.
   Ready meals best stored at +2 to +4 ° C. It should be remembered that soups can freeze at temperatures below 0, therefore, for dishes on water, the normal temperature in the refrigerator is positive (+ 4- + 5 degrees).
4. Vegetables.
   The temperature in the vegetable refrigerator is gentler. It is enough to set the regulator to +4 - +6 and storage will be as long as possible. Boiled vegetables should be stored from days to three at a temperature of +3 - +5 ° C, so that they do not lose their nutritional value.
5. Milk products.
   For milk, kefir, cottage cheese, sour cream or butter, a temperature of +1 to +5 is required. Milk, kefir, yogurt, fermented baked milk and other dairy products are stored from 24 to 72 hours at a relative temperature of up to +4 ° C. The oil can be stored for 7-10 days at the same temperature.
6. Eggs.
   To store chicken eggs for up to 30 days, a refrigerator temperature of +1 - +5 ° C is required. For quail eggs - from 0 to +3 ° C. Stored quail eggs 3-3.5 months.
7. Fish and seafood.
   It is optimal to store fresh fish in the refrigerator for no more than 3 days at a temperature of 0 - +2 degrees Celsius. Fried or boiled fish - 36 hours at + 1- + 4 ° C. Seafood retains its useful qualities at +4 - +6 degrees for 2-3 days. Cooked seafood is stored for 3-5 days at temperatures up to +6 ° C.
8. Fruit.
   Exotic fruits (bananas, pineapples, passion fruit, etc.) should not be kept in the refrigerator at all. They need a temperature above +15. The rest of the fruit can be put in the refrigerator and stored for several weeks with constant inspection and maintaining the temperature from +4 to +8 degrees Celsius.
9. Cheese.
   The ideal temperature in the cheese refrigerator is +3 - +5 ° C. The storage duration depends on the fat content of the cheese and its type, but on average hard cheese lasts up to 30 days at a temperature of +1 - +6.
10. Bread and confectionery.
    Bakery products can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than two to three days. The temperature in the refrigerator compartment should be +3 - +5 ° C. A decrease in temperature can lead to its rapid hardening, and an increase in the appearance of mold. Products with creams, cream, condensed milk, cottage cheese are stored for no more than 72 hours at temperatures from -1 to +3 degrees.
11. Canned food.
    Mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup in sealed packaging can be stored for 120 days at a temperature of 0 - +6 ° C. Once the product has been opened, it should be stored exclusively in the refrigerator at a temperature of +1 - +4 ° C for no more than 24 days.

Thus, the average optimum temperature in the refrigerator for storing all products should be positive, namely +2 - +5 ° C.

How to regulate the temperature in the refrigerator

Temperature control in the refrigerator depends on the type of device control: mechanical or electronic.

With a mechanical type of control, you can change the temperature in the refrigerator using a manual controller. This regulator switches the temperature in four possible positions, from minimum to medium, high and to maximum.

It is quite easy to set the temperature in an electronic refrigerator. To do this, on the display, which is located on the outside of the door, set the desired temperature for the entire device or its individual zones. The temperature is changed by pressing buttons or touching the display.

It takes ~ 2 minutes to read

People in most civilized countries cannot imagine their life without a refrigerator. This device is one of the first acquisitions in a new home. Knowing what temperature should be in the refrigerator is extremely important. After all, the quality of food consumed by a person and, accordingly, his health depends on this.

The freshness of products is guaranteed not only by a well-chosen temperature regime, but also by their location in the refrigerator. It is no secret that each shelf and compartment of this technique is intended for a certain group of products (dairy, vegetable, animal ...) In addition to the refrigerating chamber, there is also a freezer. It is designed for storing frozen convenience foods. In addition, knowledge of the optimal temperature for this department will help to properly freeze vegetables and berries for the winter.

What is the optimal temperature in the refrigerator

Ideally, all foods have their own storage temperature to keep them fresh for as long as possible. But since this is not possible, the manufacturers have determined the average values.

Positive indicators are set on the main block - from 2 to 5 degrees Celsius. This is optimal for most food products... If the refrigeration unit does not show a temperature value, then you need to measure it yourself. This requires placing the thermometer in the main unit. If the indicator is less than 2, then it should be increased, if it is higher than 5 degrees, then lower. Try to adjust with the rotary switch as instructed.

It should be noted that stamps different manufacturers may have different temperature conditions for the refrigerator.

Probably, many wondered what temperature in the freezer is optimal. This is especially true for people involved in harvesting from the dacha. Support correct storage food in the freezer is possible with a maximum value of 18 degrees Celsius. The minimum value in most modern models is not less than 24 degrees below zero.

You also need to build on the degree of congestion in the camera. With a small amount of food and rare use, you can limit yourself to a temperature of -14 degrees. On the contrary, if you often use the freezer, while loading it more than half, you should reduce the parameters to -20, -14 degrees.

The new freezers have a shock freeze function. Freezing occurs at ~ -30 degrees for several hours, which is considered a quick freeze. This option helps to keep everything useful microelements, vitamins and keep the taste.

How to find out the temperature

Most easy way - have a refrigerator with a built-in thermometer. This way you can be aware of the temperature regime around the clock. Perhaps you bought a refrigerator for a long time and did not even think about the temperature in the freezer and other compartments. There is nothing wrong with that. Plus, if you're happy with the quality of the food, it doesn't spoil. for a long timethen there is no reason to worry.

For your own peace of mind, you should buy special thermometers (2 pieces), which you can find in any home store in your locality. You need to install it on the inner wall of the refrigerator and freezer.

If you need to measure the temperature once, you can use a regular room thermometer by placing it on one of the shelves.

Cold distribution

• As mentioned earlier, the temperature in the refrigerator is not uniform throughout the entire space, but changes depending on the location (upper, middle, lower).

Let's analyze how the cold is distributed on specific example at a total temperature of 4 degrees.

1. Thus, the coldest place will be the area near the wall of the upper part of the chamber - + 2, + 3 degrees. Store here perishable food: meat and semi-finished meat products.
2. The middle shelves will be at + 3, + 5 degrees. This is the place for dairy products, sausages, cheese products, as well as bread and some fruits.
3. There is a "zone of freshness" here, the temperature ranges from 3 to 8 degrees. This is an ideal place to store fresh herbs, as it has a special climate.
4. Place with strong elevated temperature compared to others - the door. Medicines, sauces, drinks are usually stored here.

If the refrigerator door is not opened for a long time, the temperature will gradually equalize.

Find out how many degrees are in the freezer of the Atlant refrigerator, LG, Samsung, Bosch and their refrigerator:

• Antlant: in the refrigerator - 3-5 degrees, in the freezer - -18;
• LG: in the refrigerator - 2-6 degrees, in the freezer - -20;
• Bosch: in the refrigerator - 2-6, in the freezer - -24.

• Before adjusting the temperature regime, carefully read the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator.
• Good to know: in addition to the refrigerator, there are other refrigeration structures - an ice pack (a plastic box that is often taken on a trip) and a refrigerator ( vehicle for transportation of products).
• The refrigerator should be defrosted regularly (the frequency depends on the make and model).
• Do not set the maximum values \u200b\u200bon the refrigerator, this will negatively affect both the durability of the device and your budget.
• Do not open the door too often, this will disturb the normal temperature regime.

Now you know how to properly set the temperature in the refrigerator. This is a very expensive household appliance, so proper operation will significantly extend its service life, increase its efficiency, and keep food fresh.

Choice temperature regime even in "smart" modern models, it is manually adjusted.

The manufacturer sets the temperature range with the possibility of changing it (usually from +2 ° C before +8 ° C for the refrigerating chamber, and from -16 ° C before -24 ° C for the freezer). Users have the ability to change these parameters and adjust the temperature in the refrigerator for themselves. Therefore, before you start customizing the refrigerator for yourself, you need to understand what temperature you want to get.

Temperature control for modern and discontinued refrigerator models follows the same principles. The longer the refrigerator runs, the more cold it will create. And vice versa. Therefore, increasing the adjustment valuewe change the operating mode upwards.

Mechanical or electronic controls are used to adjust the mode.

Regulators are:

mechanical - in the form of a wheel, turntable

electronic - digital scoreboards

The location depends on the refrigerator model.

Mechanical regulators are:

• inside the refrigerating chamber on the wall on the right;
• on the top panel of the refrigerator;
• occasionally, the regulator may be located on the "ceiling" of the refrigerator compartment.

What temperature does thermostat digit.

Mechanical adjusters are adjusted by turning the adjuster knob. Turning the regulator clockwise - we increase the cold, we decrease it counterclockwise. The numbers on the handle do not indicate temperature in degrees Celsius, this is the ordinal number of the position. They show in which position of the regulator there will be more cold, and in which less. Typically, the scale of cold adjustment has values \u200b\u200bfrom 1 to 7. The lightest cold will correspond to the number 1, the coldest will be at the number 6-7.

We increase the figure -increase cold. We recommend setting the number 3.

It is not necessary to set the values \u200b\u200b5-7 unnecessarily, since the cold is achieved by a longer compressor operation and works with a higher load. In some cases, with these thermostat settings, the refrigerator-freezer may not turn off. Even if your refrigerator is turned off, the power consumption will increase significantly.

Electronic control is located:

• on the top panel of the refrigerator
• an electronic display is installed in the door,display on the front of the door provides information about the state of the temperature inside.

The electronic control of the refrigerator changes the operating mode by pressing the keys-buttons. The adjustment scale is mainly used from +2° From to +8° C. Usually there is a button next to the temperature value to change the characteristics.After each press per button value increases by 1 degree. After reaching the maximum adjustment value, the refrigerator automatically goes into the minimum range.

Tips from the masters:

• the ambient temperature greatly affects the operation of the refrigerator. The hotter it is around, the harder it is to create the necessary cold. Most refrigerators operate normally with an air temperature range of 16-32° C degrees. Although refrigerators have a different climate class, it is too low temperatures should not, as this may increase energy consumption and strain on the refrigerator. The higher the ambient temperature, the lower the number on the regulator.
• it is difficult to say unequivocally which number of the thermostat should be set in the refrigerator. Temperature indicators in the refrigerating chamber are determined by a large number of factors: technical condition, refrigerator load, room temperature, door opening frequency, etc.
• check the cooling quality regularly or install a stationary thermometer.
• if, when turning the knob or changing the value on the digital display, the real temperature remains the same, call the wizard.
