The arrival of a new refrigerator is undoubtedly exciting, and many people may be eager to try out its fresh features. However, such impatience is not appropriate. Here, we offer a tip: after the refrigerator is delivered to your home, it is necessary to carefully complete the following preparations, otherwise, the refrigerator may quickly malfunction.

1、 an external inspection.

Are you eager to admire the aesthetic aspects of the new refrigerator as soon as it arrives at home? However, a comprehensive check of the appearance is the key step. Please check for scratches or signs of impact. At the same time, confirm that all internal plastic accessories are intact. The most important thing inside is to check the door's seal, which is related to the refrigerator's cooling performance and power consumption. Check the freezer's aluminum panels for cracks and scratches; whether the cooling room back panel is flat, without cracks and scratches, whether the connections are smooth, and whether the thickness is uniform. In addition, check whether the temperature control panel is flexible to operate and responds quickly.

2、 performance testing.

During the performance test, you first need to turn on the power, then immediately observe the start-up of the compressor, check if it can start smoothly at one time and run without any abnormalities. After the compressor starts, you should immediately cut off the power, at which point the refrigerator will stop working. Then turn on the power again and start, observe whether the refrigerator can respond quickly and start within one second, and then enter a normal working state.

3、 determine the placement location.

First, ensure that the refrigerator is placed on a stable, solid floor and use the bottom wheels to adjust it to a balanced state. If the refrigerator is not level, it will shake and make noise during operation, and long-term shaking may damage key components such as the compressor and cooling pipes. In addition, for non-embedded refrigerators, leave appropriate space at the back and sides, about 10 centimeters on each side, and 10 to 15 centimeters at the back, to facilitate heat dissipation. A good heat dissipation environment helps the refrigerator's cooling system work efficiently, and poor heat dissipation can cause the refrigerator to start frequently to maintain temperature, which not only increases energy consumption but may also cause cooling system failures.

To ensure the normal operation of the new refrigerator and extend its service life, we need to operate it according to the correct steps. First, stay calm and do not rush to open the refrigerator door or perform other operations. The following steps are crucial, and each step will help us better welcome this new member.
