To store food in modern homes, it is customary to keep refrigerators. At the same time, the devices differ in the principles of operation. Devices of all brands have their own characteristics, which it is desirable to know about before buying. The instructions for the two-chamber refrigerator "Minsk" will allow you to use the equipment according to the rules recommended by the manufacturer.
Purpose and device
Before operating the equipment, you must read the instructions for the two-chamber refrigerator "Minsk". The device is intended for food storage. This is a straight-line floor cabinet with an internal refrigerator compartment and a lockable door. At the top of the device there is a cold source - an evaporator.
Cooling occurs due to the cold that appears with the evaporation of the refrigerant (freon-12). Products must be placed on the shelves of the chamber and inside the door panel. There are convenient shelvesfreezer section. Under the evaporator there is a tray that collects melted water. A tank is installed in the guides of the pallet, which is intended for storing meat and fish.
The refrigerator is equipped with removable shelves, ice molds, a container for fruits and vegetables. On the door panel there are compartments for eggs, cheese, milk, drinks, canned food. There is also a special container for oil. To maintain the set temperature, a temperature controller and an electric lamp are installed on the side wall of the chamber to illuminate the inside of the device. You can start the electric motor and protect its windings from overloads using a combined start-up relay.
Installation and activation
These nuances are indicated in the instructions for the two-chamber refrigerator "Minsk". It is desirable to install the device in a cool place, away from heat sources. The space between the wall and the device is supported by stops that are at the back of the product. It should not be closed, as lack of air circulation leads to poor cooling of the condenser and the operation of the unit.
The adjustable feet must be installed before placement. For this you need:
- Tilt device.
- Take 4 supports and screw them into the threaded holes on the bottom of the appliance.
When the feet are adjusted, the plastic nuts need to be tightened. Before using the device, it must be washed and wiped. The instructions for the Minsk two-chamber refrigerator say that it is important to check that the voltage indicated behind the device matches the mains voltage. If the indicators do not match, then the inclusion is possibleonly with an autotransformer that has a power of 300 watts. Turn the refrigerator on and off with the thermostat knob.
Nuances
If the room temperature drops (+18°C) and the load of the device is small, the thermostat knob must be set to the edge of the left position counterclockwise. And when the temperature rises, the knob is turned clockwise to the extreme position so that the circulation is cyclic.
You need to prepare ice in the evaporator trays. Forms are filled with water up to 4-5 mm below the edge. If you want to quickly make ice, the thermostat is set clockwise closer to the extreme position. Frozen pieces come off easily if the molds are left for 2-3 minutes in the room, and then slightly press the bottom with your finger.
Care
The operating instructions for the two-chamber refrigerator "Minsk" also indicate the rules for care. During the operation of the equipment, snow collects on the evaporator, which slows down the removal of heat from the chamber. This causes the temperature in the cabinet to deteriorate and the refrigerator will function less economically. With the appearance of snow, it is necessary to thaw the evaporator. For this you need:
- Remove food from the evaporator and refrigerator.
- Turn on the device by setting the thermostat to the extreme position. You just need to turn the knob counterclockwise.
- When the snow thaws, you need to remove the pan, remove the water and wipe it.
Do not remove snow with sharp objects, as there is a risk of piercing the evaporator channels. It needs to be washed with clean water only. The evaporator must not be exposed to acid and alkali solutions. The outer part of the cabinet is also washed with ordinary water, and the dust is removed with a soft material. Soap solution is allowed inside.
The manual for the old Minsk Atlant two-chamber refrigerator includes similar rules for operating the device. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations, then the equipment will last a long time.
