In the beautiful picture of life, the affordable mini-refrigerator is like a touch of color, adding convenience and warmth to our daily life. It is small, but carries our expectations of fresh food, is indispensable to modern life small lucky. However, in order for this little life assistant to continue to play a stable performance,the right place is the key. Let's explore the key factors to keep in mind when placing a mini-fridge.

1.Avoid overload placement

Although the mini-refrigerator is small in size,its load-carrying capacity is limited.If the excessive stacking of items, refrigerator internal space is filled,it is difficult to evenly cycle air-conditioning.This will lead to reduced refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerator,the temperature in some areas can not reach the set value, the preservation effect of food is greatly reduced.Moreover, overloading operation will make the refrigerator compressor work in a high load state for a long time, accelerate the wear and tear of parts and components, shorten the service life of refrigerators,and also greatly increase energy consumption,resulting in unnecessary electricity bills. Therefore, according to the actual capacity of the refrigerator,we should rationally plan the placement of food,leave enough circulation space for air conditioning,so that the refrigerator can run efficiently and stably.

2.Keep away from dangerous goods

In order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the mini-refrigerator and ensure the purity and hygiene of the food, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the dangerous and odorous substances out of the surrounding area of the refrigerator. Like lighters, alcohol and other inflammable and explosive materials, even if only close to the refrigerator, are likely to work because of the refrigerator heat or electrical spark caused by circuit failure, instant explosion, the consequences unimaginable. At the same time, chemical cleaners, strong smell condiments and other strong pungent smell of the products, will also let the odor molecules with the cold air in the refrigerator spread freely, contamination of other foods. From now on, we should form a good habit, put these items away from the refrigerator in a safe place, eliminate hidden dangers.

3.Temperature and humidity control

Temperature and humidity are important factors affecting the performance and service life of mini-refrigerators. The refrigerator is suitable to be placed in a relatively stable temperature and well-ventilated environment. If the refrigerator is placed in direct sunlight, or close to a heat source, such as a radiator or a stove, the high external temperature will raise the temperature inside the refrigerator, and the refrigeration system will have to increase the intensity of refrigeration, which will not only increase energy consumption, also can cause the compressor to start frequently stops, speeds up its aging. At the same time, too high humidity will make the surface and internal parts of the refrigerator susceptible to damp and rust, affecting its normal operation; too low humidity may lead to the loss of food moisture, loss of the original taste and nutrition. Therefore, we should choose a suitable temperature, humidity moderate position placed refrigerator,if necessary, you can use dehumidification or humidification equipment for adjustment.

4.Convenience of drainage and defrosting

In order to make the mini-refrigerator run better, the drainage and defrosting work should be put in place. When placing the refrigerator, carefully check the drain to ensure that there is no debris around the plug, if necessary, can use tools such as fine wire gently dredge, to ensure that the condensate can be discharged without hindrance, to avoid water breeding bacteria, odor and damage parts. At the same time, to select a convenient location for defrosting operation placed in the refrigerator. Regular defrosting, first cut off the power, to be softened after the frost layer with a soft cloth or special defrosting shovel carefully clean, do not scratch the inner wall damage violence. In this way, the refrigerator can always keep the interior clean, cooling effect is better and lower energy consumption.

Conclusion

Affordable mini-refrigerators have brought a lot of convenience to our lives, and reasonable placement is the key to its best performance. By avoiding overload, keeping away from dangerous materials, controlling temperature and humidity, and ensuring drainage and defrosting convenience, we can create a safe, comfortable, and efficient working environment for mini-refrigerators, let it better serve our lives, accompany us through every good time.
