Features

They have a presentable appearance. Engineers create models that are similar in appearance to the furniture of the kitchen. The popularity of this technology is gaining momentum.

Operating principle structurally little different from the classic - with vertical chambers. In trade, the refrigerator may be called horizontal larem. Visually similar to a large plastic container.

The horizontal location of the camera in the refrigerator is very convenient. At constant opening cover loss or release produced by cold minimum. There are models with no upper cap. Created specifically for the room in supermarkets, where the buyer can effortlessly put in your kit should be frozen products.

Design

The volume of the chamber. It is not in the area, and the possibility of easy access to any corner of the container or chamber. Choosing between horizontal and vertical, to find out the exact dimensions of the area to which will set the refrigerator compartment.

Sometimes the kitchen area or commercial premises not hold the refrigerator door is opened in the classical way.

The models designed specifically for small areas. Among them - the vertical door with ergonomic device. Also here is credited refrigerators with horizontal chambers.

Displacement horizontal refrigerator or freezer is measured in liters. It varies from 100 to 600 liters.

Among modern refrigeration systems reliably keeps cold refrigerator horizontal "bin". It keeps the temperature even on hot summer days. Produced by the air falls to the bottom "a chest". The space inside remains stably cooled. Even without the top cover cold level is stable in a warm room.

The working volume of the horizontal and vertical refrigerator same. The occupied area is always smaller than the horizontal. It is for this characteristic it is installed in retail outlets.

Significant class power consumption. Abbreviated, in which the level of "A" - is the most profitable. Levels under the abbreviation "A +" or "A ++" latest innovations. Energy class was created by the trade of the European Commission.

Divided into two categories: Electrical and electronic.

Device with electromechanical control device based on control by a thermostat. Handle thermostat in cooling required adjustment.

Machines with electronic control are fitted with special display. This function helps to adjust the temperature for the refrigerator, adjust the speed of the fan and compressor. The display allows visual monitoring of all indicators and operational functions.

Refrigerators and freezers by its functionality have different temperature criteria for freezing and cooling. Freeze function between -18 and -24 degrees Celsius.

For economical use of the freezer chest better acquire function shallow frozen to minus 18 degrees Celsius. This condition will maintain the freshness of food and to save energy.

For a particular type of product designed refrigerators and freezers with low-temperature effect. They do not guarantee the long-term storage or frozen products.

Pros and cons of horizontal refrigerators

Advantages and disadvantages

Horizontal refrigerator for maximum save the most important meters in the kitchen. Any model of the vertical cooler by comparison, takes an extra piece of the work area.

The disadvantage can be called the height of the household appliance. Inconvenient to bend over the content. This is especially true people of advanced age or patients with sciatica.

Equipment of this type has a poor insulation. Because of this, it lost the optimum degree, declared by the manufacturer. Respect for the technology - the key to long years of service without losing quality.

Exploitation

Exploitation

Place, generally under the work surface. At the point where it is more convenient and faster to navigate for fast access to fresh food.

The most important rule when installing refrigeration appliance - placing the refrigerator away from the heating element. Stove, which installed next to the refrigerator, will reduce the life of any device in a short time.

This type of device does not fit into the usual understanding of the modern refrigerator.

Perfectly integrated into any modern headsets. Sometimes visitors do not immediately possible to determine the location of a small refrigerator, cleverly integrated into the overall kitchen cabinet.

Precautionary measures

Precautionary measures

When storing foods should consider some rules:

  • It is not necessary for a long time to keep the products in iron or aluminum containers, as well as the already open canned food banks.
  • The lowest unit area must not contain liquid food without lids. Otherwise, the top part of the refrigerator receive surplus condensate.

To preserve foods and equipment necessary packaging each product type in cellophane, or polyethylene foil.

  • Storage of drugs not intended for cooling chambers, causing shortening of life and loss of medicinal properties.
  • It is strictly forbidden to install temporary or permanent heat sources nearby. This may cause a disruption in the system, leakage of the working gas.
  • Sometimes, unknowingly, set a new refrigerator next to a radiator and underfloor heating. It is forbidden to do. You reduce the life of the cooling equipment, for permanent display of the refrigerator device side or bottom affects negatively.

With such a load on the compressor, will work at high clock. It will take him two days or more, to stop work due to careless planning space.

Installation of underfloor heating systems, taking into account space for cooling equipment is better to do with a plot for him. The place where there is the heated parts of the floor, suitable for the installation.

  • This type of refrigeration equipment is required to keep clean. Before cleaning device is required to turn off from the outlet, then removed foodstuffs.

Pay attention to the material, which is coated with a refrigerator. If there is any doubt that the body parts susceptible to damage by chemical cleaners, read the instruction manual. It explained in detail how and what to clean the surface of the household appliance.

malfunctions

Frequent faults and solution
  1. The lights do not turn on the refrigerator itself.

In this case, the sensor may be faulty. Simply replace it with a new one.

  1. Compressor is running, but there is a cold.

No movement of cold air due to capillary conduit. Recycled engine oil sometimes creates a blockage in the system. It should be thoroughly cleaned, prodavlivaya solvent. After cleaning, make sealing and filling freon.

  1. No cold, the bottom is covered with oil droplets.

A common cause - breakage of the engine cooling device. This is a serious problem, so you need to make a preliminary diagnosis. It will show the required level of capital repair works, will give a specific estimate of the working parts, inform you to replace the engine on a new one.

  1. At the bottom of the device or condensate water.

There is a possibility of clogging the holes in the refrigerator compartment, responsible for drainage. It is created only for the removal of excess moisture or liquid from the process chamber. It is necessary to clean your hands or ask the master, repair such equipment.

  1. The camera operates continuously, the cold flow is increased.

These conditions are characteristic of wear rubber seals installed on the door between the compartments. Warm air, entering into the chamber, forces the refrigerating installation to operate at twice the power. Because of this reversal occurs top of the chamber and condensate accumulation. For proper operation of the device is required to replace the seal.

  1. Too much working freezer.

This is possible with the failure of the program, which is equipped with a control module. A malfunction in the unit. In fact, the cooler the engine does not receive the signal at the beginning of work on the cooling of the main refrigerator compartment. Instead, it takes the air into a separate freezer compartment, creating overcooling. If the fault requires a mandatory replacement of the control module.
