How to adjust the refrigerator temperature in summer?

Generally speaking, the hot weather and high temperature in summer will affect the use of the refrigerator, so it is necessary to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator correctly. So how to adjust the refrigerator temperature in summer? Let's take a closer look!

How to adjust the refrigerator temperature in summer?

The refrigerator temperature should be adjusted to 2-3 in summer.

Generally, the temperature control knob of the refrigerator has five gears, namely 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, of which 0 is the stop gear and 5, 6, 7 are the forced cold gear. It is difficult to adjust the temperature control knob when the thermostat is set to forced cold.

The larger the thermostat number, the lower the temperature of the freezer. Generally, the fifth gear is adjusted to 2-3 gears, and the seventh gear is controlled to be frozen for 5 degrees at-18℃ after 3-4 gears, and no adjustment is needed.

When the temperature is high in summer, the temperature inside the refrigerator will be affected. Correctly adjusting the temperature range can save electricity. The temperature of the refrigerator has zero to seven grades, and it can be adjusted to two or three grades in summer, which not only saves electricity but also can better refrigerate food. The larger the temperature file number on the refrigerator, the lower the temperature. In summer, if the temperature of the refrigerator is adjusted to above grade 3, the compressor will increase the workload in order to meet the low temperature of the refrigerator, which will not only consume electricity, but also damage the service life of the refrigerator.

Maintenance of refrigerator in summer

We should regularly clean the condenser and compressor of the refrigerator, which are the key refrigeration parts of the refrigerator. If you don't pay attention to cleaning and maintenance, it will damage the refrigeration capacity of the refrigerator. The refrigerator at home should be placed in a ventilated and dry place and cleaned in time after each use, which can also kill some pathogenic bacteria and reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases.

How to adjust the refrigerator in summer to save the most electricity?

Correctly adjusting the temperature of the refrigerator can save a lot of electricity and prolong the service life of the refrigerator. Many families are dissatisfied with the refrigerator plug, which will lead to overcapacity. You might as well put some foam in the refrigerator to concentrate the food. This can not only keep the refrigeration temperature, but also reduce the power consumption of the refrigerator, which really kills two birds with one stone.

The temperature of the freezing chamber is controlled by the temperature of the freezing chamber. Look at the temperature control knob in your refrigerator. Generally, the temperature in the refrigerator is 4 ~ 8 degrees, and the effect is the best. The indoor temperature is close to this temperature in winter. If the thermostat knob is still at 3 or less, the refrigerator compressor is rarely started. Although the temperature in the refrigerator can meet the requirements, the temperature in the freezer can not reach below-18 degrees, and the food is easy to deteriorate. In severe cases, food is thawed and melted. In summer, the ambient temperature is relatively high. If the thermostat knob is still at 3 or higher, the compressor will work for a long time to meet the temperature requirements. Although the freezer temperature is below-18 degrees, and the freezer temperature is also very low, it is not advisable to waste electric energy and shorten the service life of the refrigerator. Therefore, adjusting the knob of the refrigerator thermostat correctly can keep us fresh and save electricity.

The thermostat of electronic refrigerator can set the temperature directly on the panel of refrigerator. The freezing room temperature should be-18 degrees, and the refrigerating room temperature should be between 4-8 degrees. Of course, if there is less food in the refrigerator, or there is no special requirement, and the storage time is short, then the higher the temperature of the refrigerator, the more energy will be saved in the case of frozen storage of food.

Special precautions for air conditioners and refrigerators in summer.

The air conditioner does not cool.

Summer is coming, it's too noisy to open the window and too hot to close the window, so we can only turn on the air conditioner. When the air conditioner is turned on, many car owners directly press the "On" button near the dashboard. It turns out that there is a strong wind blowing, but the wind is not cold, and even hot air is blowing. That's because he turned on the heater. The air conditioner is not really turned on, and the switch of automatic air conditioner in most models is "A/C". Only by starting this key will the air-conditioning compressor work normally and the cool air will come slowly.

Nowadays, more and more cars are made in intelligent key. You can start and lock the car directly by remote control, which is not only convenient to operate. Intelligent key is easy to use, at the same time, there is one thing to remind car owners. That is, remember to take the key when you get off the bus. The key is in the car. Even if you press the quick lock button on the door handle, the door will not be locked.

Or you can't lock the car if you take one down and leave the other in the car. It's better to separate the two keys. Another reason why you can't lock the car may be that you didn't put it in N or P gear and closed it. Maybe it's only a few tenths of a second between gear shift and flameout, and the car still can't be locked. In this case, you must restart the car, first put it in gear, then turn off the engine and start it again.

Water tank boiling

In summer, the water tank is easy to boil, which means that the frozen liquid in the water tank has reached the boiling point, which is very harmful and hurts people, so it has also attracted widespread attention.

Driving on the hot asphalt road, I suddenly glanced at the water thermometer near the dashboard and found that the temperature had reached 100 degrees Celsius. At this time, it is estimated that you can't sit still. Pull over, double-flash, start to get off and fill the water tank. Maintenance experts warned that the move was too reckless. If the antifreeze you have been adding is still in the normal temperature range of 100 degrees Celsius and does not reach the boiling point, the temperature of the antifreeze is between 85 degrees Celsius and 105 degrees Celsius, and its boiling point is 120 degrees Celsius.

If water is added, it is estimated that the kettle will be boiled, but neither antifreeze nor water can open the lid of the water tank at this time, because there is steam in the water tank at this time, and the pressure is very high. Once the lid is opened, water vapor will be sprayed out, and the consequences are very serious.

How long can the food in the refrigerator last in summer?

The common cold storage temperature of food in the refrigerator is 4℃ to 8℃. In this environment, the growth rate of most bacteria will slow down. But some bacteria are psychrophilic, such as Yersinia, Listeria, etc., which can grow and reproduce rapidly at this temperature. If you eat food infected with this kind of bacteria, it will cause intestinal diseases.

The temperature in the freezer of the refrigerator is generally around-18℃. At this temperature, bacteria are generally inhibited or killed, so the food stored in it has better fresh-keeping effect.

But freezing does not mean that it can be completely sterilized, and some bacteria with strong freezing resistance will survive. Therefore, from another perspective, if the refrigerator is not disinfected frequently, it will become a "hotbed" for some bacteria.

In addition, don't store too much food in the refrigerator, which will make the external temperature of food low and the internal temperature high, leading to deterioration.

Some housewives use the refrigerator as a fresh-keeping box to store food for a long time. How to use the refrigerator correctly is also an indispensable family knowledge for housewives. For the health of your family, you must know how long the food in the refrigerator can be kept.

Is there a lot of stock in your refrigerator? Do you think they can keep their nutrition in the refrigerator? In fact, green leafy vegetables and apples are put together in the refrigerator, and the leaves will soon turn yellow and rot; When the juice is opened, put it back in the refrigerator. Even if the bottle cap is tightened, half of vitamin C will be lost within one week.

1, milk must be protected from light, which can not only sterilize, but also "kill" the nutrients in milk. It was found that milk would be acidified and deteriorated after direct exposure for 4 minutes. Vitamin B2 in milk is very sensitive to light, and will be quickly lost under light. Light will also oxidize the lipids in milk, leading to the gradual destruction of other nutrients such as vitamins A, D, B6 and B 12. Among them, milk in glass cans or plastic cans is the most vulnerable. Even under the light of the supermarket freezer, the "best shelf life" of milk is only about 4 hours.

Green tea should be stored in the refrigerator. Green tea has many health benefits and has been proved to help prevent heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and so on. , mainly because it contains catechins. However, a study published in the American Journal of Food Science pointed out that the catechin content of green tea would decrease after being left at room temperature for six months. So it's best to keep green tea in the refrigerator. Black tea can be stored at room temperature.

3, fruits and vegetables with perishable "infectious" vegetables and fruits together, easy to deteriorate and "infectious". Remember, not only people will get infectious diseases, but also the deterioration between fruits and vegetables will be "contagious". The research of Pennsylvania State University reminds us that when apples, almonds, red peppers, peaches, cantaloupes and tomatoes are put together with other fruits and vegetables, ethylene gas will be released, which will make the latter mature and deteriorate rapidly. In addition, putting the above fruits and vegetables together with cruciferous vegetables and green leafy vegetables will also make the leaves of the latter turn yellow and rot quickly.

It is best to put delicate green leafy vegetables in the refrigerator and eat them as soon as possible. Radish, carrot, cabbage, potato, onion, apple, pear, etc. Are all storable food, suitable for balcony. Root vegetables such as potatoes, the smaller the vitamin C content, the higher it can be stored in paper bags to prevent excessive light and oxygen from destroying vitamin C.

Many users hope to find an effective way to remove the odor in the refrigerator. In fact, activated carbon can remove odor. It is best to prepare two copies of activated carbon for standby, change it once a week or two, and then take it to a dry and sunny place for exposure to ensure the best adsorption effect. It should be noted that the capacity of activated carbon, like batteries, will decrease slightly every time it is "charged and discharged", so remember to replace it in time.
