Additional refrigerator functions: why are they needed? Reviews of real people

In this article, we will try to familiarize themselves as much as possible with all possible functions that the latest generation refrigerator can be equipped. These knowledge will help you decide on the choice of a refrigerator that will satisfy your needs.

Freshness zone in the refrigerator is a null zone?

The zero zone is a chamber in which the temperature is close to 0, which provides the best preservation of products.

Where it is placed? In two-chamber refrigerators, it is usually placed at the bottom of the refrigerator.

What it is useful? This camera allows you to store seafood, cheese, berries, vegetables, fruits, greens. When buying fish or meat, it will save these products in a fresh form, for further cooking without freezing them.

For better preservation of products, not only temperature, but also humidity is important, since different products have different storage conditions, so this camera is divided into two zones

The wet zone supports the temperature from 0 to + 1 ° C with a humidity of 90 – 95% and allows you to store products such as greens to three weeks, strawberry, cherry mushrooms up to 7 days, tomatoes 10 days, apples, carrots for three months.

Dry zone from -1 ° C to 0 with humidity up to 50% and allows you to save cheese up to 4 weeks, ham up to 15 days, fish and seafood meat.

Inna:

This thing is just super!!! Personally for me is much more useful than no frost. No frost accounted for 1 time in 6 months to defrost the freezer, and I use the zero zone every day. The shelf life of products in it is much more.

Alina:

I have a two-chamber Liebherr, embedded and this zone bothers me, as it takes a lot of space, the biofresh zone, it can be compared with two full-fledged boxes in the freezer. For me, this is a flaw. It seems to me that if the family consumes a lot of sausages, cheeses, vegetables and fruits, this feature is very useful, but personally for me, ordinary pots have nowhere. ((And as for storage, the humidity there really differs from a vegetable compartment.
Rita:

We have Liebherr. Freshness zone just super! Now the meat is not spoiled for a very long time, but the refrigerator volume turns out less … it does not bother me, t.To. I prefer to cook every day new.
Valery:

I have Gorenie with NO Frost, the freshness zone is a wonderful thing, the temperature is 0, but if you put an indefinite temperature in the refrigerator, the condensate in the form of annea is formed on the rear wall of the zero zone, and the temperature in this freshness zone will shift from 0. It is also not recommended to store cucumbers and watermelon, but it is suitable for sausage and cheese, cottage cheese, meat fresh, if they bought today, and you will cook tomorrow – send me to not frow.

Superfall – Why need in the refrigerator?

Typically, the temperature in the freezer is 18 ° C, so when loading new products in the freezer, so that they do not give their heat to need to quickly freeze, for this in a few hours it is necessary to press a special button to reduce the temperature from 24 to 28 ° C, as far as Allows the compressor. If the refrigerator does not provide an automatic shutdown function, how products are input, you must disable this function manually.

Advantages: Fast freezing of products that ensures the safety of vitamins and the integrity of the product

Flaws: load on the compressor, so it is recommended to use this function, if you want to download a large amount of products. For example, because of one chock it is not worth doing.

In some refrigerators, trays with cold batteries are used, which help to freeze faster and better save ground products, they are installed in the freezer in the upper zone.

Super cooling: To save food fresh, they need to cool them faster, it is for this that there is a function of superlapping that lowers the temperature in the refrigeration chamber to + 2 ° C, evenly distributing on all shelves. After the products are saved, you can go to the usual cooling mode.

Reviews from forums:
Maria: 
I am very often using the superfolder mode when I download many products that need fast freezing. These are freshly placed dumplings, the dumplings need to quickly freeze until they have merged. I do not like what this mode cannot be turned off. It turns off automatically after 24 hours. The compressor has a very large freezing ability, and quietly works.

Marina:

When we chose a refrigerator with a superzarozka, chose without automatic shutdown, so I turn on the instructions in advance 2 hours before downloading, then after a couple of hours it is frozen, turn off.

NO FROST SYSTEM AND BLASS?

NO Frost system (translated from English “without ENEY”) does not forms fasteners on the inner surfaces. This system works on the principle of air conditioner, fans fans are fans. The air is cooled by the evaporator. Occurs

Automatic defrosting of the air cooler and every 16 hours of mine is poured on the evaporator with a heating element. The resulting water goes into the compressor capacity, and since the compressor has a high temperature, it evaporates from there. That’s why such a system does not require defrosting.

Advantages: Does not require defrost, evenly distributes the temperature at all compartments, adjusting the temperature accuracy to 1 ° C, the rapid cooling of the products, thereby providing better safety.

Flaws: In such a refrigerator, products need to be stored in a closed form so that they do not sweat.

Reviews from forums:

Tatyana:
I have a refrigerator with the NO Frost system for 6 years and works fine. I have never complained, I don’t want to defrost “in the old man” constantly.

Natalia:
I was embarrassed by the expressions of “fading and sleeping” I do not have time to fade.)))

Victoria:
There is nothing to dry! Cheese, sausage – pack. Yoghurts, cottage cheese, sour cream, and milk just do not dry. Mayonnaise and oil also. Fruits and vegetables on the bottom shelf too, ok. I did not notice anything like … In the freezer, meat and fish are decomposed on separate crops.

Alice:
I’m how I remember the old refrigerator – already shudder! It’s horror, I had to constantly defrost! NO FROST function – super.

Drip system in the refrigerator

This is an excessive moisture of refrigerator. On the outer wall of the refrigerator, the evaporator is located at the bottom of which the drain is located. Since in the refrigerating chamber, the temperature is plus, when the compressor is running on the back wall, frost is formed. After a while, when the compressor stops work, it melts, while droplets flow into the drain, from there to a special container located on the compressor, and then evaporate.

Advantage: In the refrigeration office, the ice does not merge.

Flaw: ice can form in the freezer. What will require the defrosting of the refrigerator manually.

Lyudmila:
Once every year I turn off the refrigerator, my my, no ice, I like it.
Irina:

My parents have a drip indesit, two-chamber. I don’t like the drip system at all, they have a refrigerator for some reason constantly leaks, all the time in pallets and on the back wall. Well, it is necessary to defrost it, although it is rare. Uncomfortable.

Which shelves are needed in the refrigerator?

There are the following types of shelves:

• 

  Glass shelves are made with environmentally friendly material with plastic or metal edging, which protects the shelves from the flow of spilled products to other compartments;

• Plastic – in most models instead of expensive and heavy glass shelves, shelves from durable high-quality transparent plastics are used;
• Stainless steel grids – the dignity of these shelves is that it allows you to better circulate air and evenly distribute the temperature;
• The shelves with antibacterial coating are the last achievement, nanotechnology development, silver spraying thickness 60 – 100 microns, silver ions have an impact on harmful bacteria, not allowing them to multiply.

Shelves must have the function Glass Line regulation shelves in height.

For the convenience of freezing dumplings, berries, fruits, mushrooms and small products, plastic pallets and various trays are provided.

Refrigerator accessories:

• “Maslenka” separation for storing oil and cheese;
• branch for eggs;
• separation for fruits and vegetables;

• branch for yogurt;

Signals

What signals should be in the refrigerator:

• with long open doors;
• when the temperature is raised in the refrigerator;
• about power shutdown;
• Children’s protection feature makes it possible to block the doors and an electronic control panel.

Sections for ice

In freezers there is a small Retractable ice shelf with freezing forms

ice. In some refrigerators, for saving space, the presence of such a shelf is not provided. Iceforms Just fit into the freezer with all the products that it is not entirely convenient, because water can break down or products can get into clean water, so in this case it is better to use packages for ice.

For those who use food ice often in large portions, manufacturers have provided ice generator – The device for ice creation is connected to cold water. The iceroderator automatically prepares ice, both in cubes and crushed. To get ice, it is enough to press a glass on the key located outside the door of the freezer.

Chilled water section

Plastic containers that built into the inner panel of the refrigerant doors make it possible to obtain chilled water by pressing the lever, and the valve opens and the glass is filled with a cold drink.

To the same system, you can connect the “Clean Water” function connecting to the water supply through a fine cleaning filter, getting cool water for drinking and cooking.

Vitamin Plus

Some models provide a container with ascorbic acid.

Principle of operation: Through a filter accumulating moisture, with vitamin “C” in the form of evaporation diverges on the refrigeration chamber.

Vacation mode

Allows you to save electricity, with a long lack of home. This feature introduces the refrigerator into the “sleep mode” prevents the formation of unpleasant odors and the formation of mold.

Compressor refrigerator

If the refrigerator is small enough single compressor.
Two compressors – are two refrigeration systems, independent of each other. One provides a refrigeration job, and the other provides freezer.

Reviews from forums:

Olga:

2 compressors are good when you can defrust the freezing chamber without turning off the second. This is good? But if it happens that one of the compressors will break, you will need to change two. So for this reason I am for 1 compressor.

Olesya:

We have a refrigerator with two compressors, super, gives a cold in full program, the temperature is adjustable in different cameras. In the summer to the larger heat very much. And in winter, too, their advantages. In the refrigeration chamber makes the temperature more, so that not the water is not very cold, and you could immediately drink. Advantages: A high resource of work, as each compressor, if necessary, is included only for its camera. Cold productivity is significantly higher. It is more convenient to control, as you can adjust the temperature in the chambers.

Autonomous storage of cold

When the electricity is disconnected, during the time from 0 to 30 hours, the temperature of the refrigerator from – 18 to + 8 ° C. What ensures the safety of the products, before the elimination of the problem.

Anti-Finger-Print surface

This is a special coating made of stainless steel, which protects the surface from contaminants of fingerprints from fingers and various contaminants.

Antibacterial functions

• Antibacterial filter passes through itself air circulating in the refrigeration unit, catches and removes bacteria, fungi, which cause unpleasant odors and product infection. Read: how to get rid of unpleasant odors in the refrigerator folk remedies;
• Light radiation To combat harmful bacteria, infrared irradiation, ultraviolet and gamma irradiation can be used;
• Deodorizer. Modern refrigerators are produced with a built-in deodorator, distributing deodorizing substances, in certain places destroying odors.

Review: I used to put in the refrigerator soda or activated carbon, with Antibacterial refrigerator function Such a need disappeared.

Achievements of electronics

• Electronic control panel Built-in doors, shows the temperature and allows you to set the exact temperature, which you want to maintain in the refrigeration and freezer. It can also have the function of the electronic calendar of storage, which registers the time and place of the bookmarks of all products and warns about the end of the storage period.
• Display: LCD screen built-in on the doors of the refrigerator, which displays all the necessary information, all important dates, information about the temperature, about the products inside the refrigerator.
• Microcomputer, Internet connected to the Internet, which not only controls the contents of the refrigerator, but also allows you to make orders for products by email, you can get tips on storing products.
