What is the most appropriate temperature for the freezer in winter?
For refrigerators with computer temperature control: the refrigerator is generally adjusted to 4-5°C, and the freezer is generally adjusted to about -18°C.
The temperature is accurately controlled by the computer program of the sensor in the box, and the gear position is generally not affected by the season.
The adjustment of the mechanical temperature control refrigerator is: 4~5 gears in winter.
The refrigerator temperature control knob generally has 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 levels. The larger the number, the lower the temperature in the freezer.
Generally, we put it on the 3rd gear in spring and autumn, depending on your requirements, whether the freezer can reach below minus 18 degrees.
In order to achieve the purpose of food preservation and power saving, we can hit gear 2 or 3 in summer and gear 4 or 5 in winter.
The refrigerator is a tool to provide food preservation. Different foods require different preservation temperatures. Therefore, the temperature of the refrigerator should be set according to the type of food stored. That is to say, the setting of the refrigerator temperature has nothing to do with the season. The cabinet of the refrigerator is insulated, and the influence of the ambient temperature is very small and can be ignored.
The temperature setting is based on: 12 degrees for green leafy vegetables, 10 degrees for tropical fruits, 8 degrees for cooked foods, 4 degrees for beer and beverages, -18 degrees for fresh meat, 0 degrees for fish and shrimps, etc.
Refrigerator temperature compensation switch: In winter, the ambient temperature is low, and the temperature in the refrigerating room is always low. If the thermostat cannot operate, the compressor cannot start normally, which will affect the refrigeration of the refrigerator. The solution is to install an electric heating device in the refrigerator compartment and control it by a temperature compensation switch. When the switch is turned on in winter, the refrigerator will automatically heat up for a certain period of time to increase the temperature in the refrigerator compartment and the thermostat contact is closed. , To start the compressor to ensure the normal cooling effect of the refrigerator. Electric heaters are not required to work in other seasons, so the temperature compensation switch should be turned off to avoid increasing power consumption.
