There is a 0-7 gear in the refrigerator compartment to adjust the temperature. But most users don’t know the function of this gear and how to use it. Today I will briefly introduce the function of the refrigerator compartment position and how to use it.
There are gear settings in the cold storage room of mechanical temperature-controlled refrigerators, which are actually temperature controllers. The temperature control knob of this refrigerator is marked with numbers 0-7. These numbers do not represent the specific temperature value in the refrigerator. They represent the control range and temperature level of the temperature in the refrigerator. Properly adjust your refrigerator's temperature controller to reduce power consumption. So what does the number on the thermostat mark mean?
The smaller the number marked on this thermostat, the higher the controlled temperature. When the ambient temperature is around the standard temperature, the control temperature at gear 1 is around 9 degrees, and at gear 7, the temperature is around 1 degree. Therefore, changing the gear control according to the outdoor temperature changes can effectively reduce power consumption.
In summer, when the outdoor temperature is high, the temperature control can be adjusted to the 3-4 position, and the temperature is generally around 4℃-6℃; this not only ensures the shutdown rate of the refrigerator, but also ensures the cooling effect of the refrigerator. On the contrary, it will cause the refrigerator to take a long time to start or not stop.
In winter, the ambient temperature is low, and the temperature control can be adjusted to 5-7 levels. The temperature is generally around 2℃-4℃; in winter, because the ambient temperature is too low and heat dissipates quickly, it does not have the automatic winter temperature switch function. When the ambient temperature of the refrigerator is lower than 16°C, it is necessary to use the strong setting or turn on the low temperature compensation switch to ensure the startup rate and freezing effect of the refrigerator. Otherwise, it will cause the refrigerator not to turn on or defrost.
In spring and autumn, the temperature control can be adjusted to level 2-3; when the room temperature is lower than 10°C, the thermostat should be set to the "6" position. Some refrigerators have a 0 level, which means the refrigeration can be turned off. You can also follow the instructions in the refrigerator manual.
This is how to use the gear position control of mechanical temperature-controlled refrigerators. Nowadays, there are also computer temperature-controlled refrigerators. This kind of refrigerator is mainly a refrigerator whose temperature is controlled by a computer program. The biggest feature of computer temperature-controlled refrigerators is precise temperature control without the need for manual temperature compensation switches. That means no manual control of temperature is required.
