How long does the refrigerator have to work when it is first turned on and what is the cyclical nature of its operation

A new friend and helper appeared in the house - a cooling and freezing device. Before you install, you need to give him a rest from the road, adapt to room temperature. Remove any foreign objects from the packaging, remove from the refrigerators and freezers (packaging paper, film, cardboard, foam gaskets, etc.).If you decide to do the installation and connection yourself, you need to know how long the refrigerator should work when it is first turned on before it is automatically turned off.

Install correctly

This moment is quite important, because if the installation is not correct, the operation of the unit will be difficult, more energy may be consumed,as a result, the refrigerator will fail faster. Here are a few points to look out for:

• Firstly, the plane of the surface on which the refrigerator will stand must necessarily be even.
• Secondly, it is necessary to adjust its legs so that it stands straight and does not stagger.
• Thirdly, the device can be installed in any convenient place, but preferably not very close to heating objects (battery, gas stove).

Although the instructions always require an even location of the refrigeration appliance on the floor surface, it is better to perform the installation with a slight backward gradient. In this case, you do not need to make special efforts to close the door, it will close itself.

First electrical connection 

In preparation for the first inclusion of the refrigerator to the power supply, you should follow some tips:

1. Often sellers of equipment advise to buy a surge protector for the safety of the unit from voltage surges. But if there is a good outlet with ordinary grounding contacts in the house, such a filter is not necessary. By the way, if you have a regular extension cord at home, you can also not buy a power adapter.In modern extension cords, all contacts are ground, and they are much cheaper than a filter.
2. If, in addition to the refrigerator, it is planned to connect several more devices at the same time, then it is better to use network adapters from possible overload, besides, they, as a rule, are equipped with a large number of sockets.
3. If the refrigerator was purchased during the cold period of the year, it is strictly forbidden to turn it on in the network for the first 3-4 hours after being delivered home. During this time, all parts of the device will warm up well, the condensate that has evaporated will evaporate and can be safely connected to the network.
4. At the first connection it is not recommended to clog the refrigerator with products. It is necessary to give him the opportunity to dial the desired temperature in vain. This can take about 5 to 10 hours. Only then fill the refrigerator with a small amount of food. The refrigerator should enter normal operation gradually. Within a few hours, the unit will be filled with coolness, the freezer will accumulate a sufficient amount of cold, and the refrigeration unit will be able to start working at full power.

Modern icing devices are mostly equipped with computer controlledAll sensors are very sensitive to various changes and variations, and, accordingly, can fail faster.

On a note. Do not turn off the refrigerator for a period of time less than 1 minute. The compressor can jam and without a master then not enough!

So, how long should a new refrigeration unit work before its first shutdown?

This issue is of great concern to the owners of both new devices and devices that have recently been repaired or turned off for a long period. The fact is that the first time of his work usually depends on such factors as:

• The temperature of the room.
• The volume of the refrigerator itself.
• The performance of the compressor.
• The number of products loaded into it, their temperature.
• Type of refrigerant, etc.

On average, this period may be of the order two hours. If you wish, in order to determine the standard time before the first automatic shutdown of a new refrigerator, it is best to leave it empty, put the temperature thermostat in the minimum position and not open the door until it is completely shut off. Depending on the above factors, the time can vary from 30-40 minutes to 2-3 hours.

What is the cyclical operation of the included refrigerator

Many owners of refrigeration units are also interested in the question of how long the unit can work and how much it can be in a disabled state.

Cycling the on-off mode of the device at certain intervals means normal engine operation.

Moreover, the ratio of the operating time of the electric motor to the total time of the full cycle is called the coefficient of its operation time. And the higher this coefficient, the lower will be the temperature in the refrigerating chambers and, accordingly, there will be a greater power consumption. The correct cyclicality of the included refrigerator sets built-in thermostat, by means of which it is possible to establish necessary temperature condition in refrigerators.

Loaded into the refrigerator and already cooled products also serve as a kind of cold accumulator, and the unit may turn on less frequently. Most often, the average cyclic coefficient is 0.5 and, accordingly, the period of operation of the switched on unit is equal to the time of the unit in the off state.

If you follow all the recommendations listed above, as well as the instructions for use, which are attached without fail to the unit,the refrigerator will always delight you with its uninterrupted work and good preservation of products.
