Freezer mold formats

Depending on the shape, all freezers are divided into two categories.

Important! Before choosing a freezer, decide what you need it for and exactly where you want it to be located. This will allow you to make the right choice.

Refrigerated chests

This freezer cabinet has a horizontal shape and is very similar to a store chest that stores ice cream and frozen food. The design is quite massive, so it's hardly possible to install it in the kitchen.

Important! Ideal place for installation - corridor or pantry. Perfectly fit lari and for the country house, to place there gardening gifts.

Inside the chest are equipped with grilles, and this is their drawback. If you place a package with products - it can fall down. For this reason, a sheet of dense cardboard must be laid on each of the grilles.

Refrigerated cabinet( cabinet)

The camera has a vertical layout. With a large capacity, it is very compact and can be easily placed in the kitchen. In addition, it may well serve as a stand or a night table.

Important! It is desirable to select a model of such a height as the table top.

In appearance, the freezer-cabinet resembles a regular refrigerator:

• Here you can conveniently and comfortably store and freeze food.
• In the height of such a cabinet can be from 650 to 2000 mm.
• Different models are equipped for storing products either with grilles or plastic drawers.

Important! Models with boxes are very convenient, as they make it possible to sort products in such a way that there is no mixing of odors. However, if you need to freeze many products, with a refrigerating cabinet it is quite difficult.

What to look for when buying?

The acquisition of a "freezer" is a very individual matter. Let's consider the main characteristics that you should pay attention to when selecting.

Freezing power

Choosing the camera by power, start with the planned amount of freezing:

• For a family of 3-4 people, enough mass in 5-10 kg is enough.
• If you want to freeze large volumes, give preference to large cameras.

Volume of

The minimum volume is 100 liters, the maximum is 500 liters. As practice shows, the best option for the same average family is a freezer for a house with a volume of 200 liters.

Electricity consumption

Energy saving is one of the most important characteristics, given that electricity tariffs can not be called low. Optimum in terms of energy saving are equipment classes A and A +, which minimize energy consumption.

Important! Do not stop at the cheap models. This is exactly the case when cash investments pay off.

There is also such a thing as the annual amount of energy consumption All models of freezers contain such a characteristic. Divide the number by 12, and find out what energy consumption you have in a month.

Freezing class

This parameter implies to what minimum it is possible to reduce the temperature in the chamber. The freezing classes are marked with asterisks."Step" between the asterisks is 6 degrees:

• 3 stars - 18 degrees.
• 4 stars are 24 degrees.

This is an important parameter, because the shelf life of products at low temperatures is much greater.

Important! There are commercially available models in which there is less variation between temperature values ​​and a wider scale. Focus on exactly what products and how much you plan to store in a separate freezer. Then it becomes more clear which temperature values ​​for your situation will be optimal.

Control method

There are models with electronic and mechanical control:

• Of course, the electronic control method is much preferable. Modern modifications have a special display on which you can set the freezing mode within a few seconds.
• The plus of mechanical control is its reliability. Such a system breaks down infrequently.

Defrosting method

There are two options:

• Freezer-cabinet with defrosting without frost( No Frost).
• Manual defrost.

Important! The first option is good because you do not have to bother with defrosting the camera. However, for hygiene reasons, the camera needs to be switched off periodically to wash and ventilate. Chambers with manual defrosting should be cleaned at least once a year.

Climate class

This indicator indicates the temperature at which the device will be guaranteed to work stably. The most common models of S and SN work well at air temperatures of up to 32 degrees.

Important! There are models designed for a hotter climate.

• ST - Stable operates at temperatures up to 38 degrees.
• T - can withstand air temperature up to 43 degrees.

But remember, the better the class, the higher will be the price of a freezer for the home.

Additional options available

Typically, this is a set of additional functions:

• Saving the set temperature in automatic mode after a power outage. The likelihood that the products will deteriorate if in your absence the light is turned off for a few days, in this case much less.
• Air purification in the chamber - such models are equipped with carbon filters.
• Presence of the remote control. Of course, a freezer for the house, equipped with a remote control, is preferable. It is desirable that the console be equipped with a locking device. This is relevant for families with children.
