Variety of Atlant refrigerators from the Minsk plant

One of the possible ways to solve this problem is the new Atlant refrigerators.

Products from the Republic of Belarus have enjoyed well-deserved popularity in the Russian domestic market for many years because they have high reliability, quality materials and a fairly low cost.

In terms of functionality, modern models are not much inferior to their foreign counterparts. To make sure of this, you just need to read this article carefully.

How to choose a refrigerator

Today, the buyer has the opportunity to choose one among thousands of devices. The design of modern devices provides many functions that ensure the safety of products. The more options a refrigerator has, the higher the cost. Before looking for a new kitchen giant, it is advisable to decide what functions and parameters you personally need, and how much you are willing to pay for the device.

Before purchasing, it would be optimal to decide on the dimensions, color, number of chambers, defrosting system and model type. It is important to decide on the brand that produced the unit. Reliable brands offer a long service life, warranties and after-sales service.

Refrigerator manufacturing companies

BOSCH . One of the first companies to launch the production of refrigerators back in 1933. Now the brand’s products can be found in any part of the world, as customers highly value their reliability and durability.

Liebherr . The range of products from this manufacturer is unparalleled. The brand produces built-in appliances, display cases and chest freezers, refrigerators of all types. The products are of legendary German quality.

ZAO ZH "Stinol" is the winner of many awards, including "People's Brand" and "Refrigerator of the Year". Japanese and Danish compressors are used in production, and quality control is carried out using a computer system.

Other popular manufacturers in Russia: domestic Biryusa and Morozko, foreign Hitachi, Mitsubishi, LG, Siemens.

Types of refrigerators

Based on the type of design, refrigerators are divided into several types:

1. Single-chamber. They are a small cabinet with a freezer shelf behind the door;
2. With a separate freezer located at the top or bottom.
3. French Door. This type translates as “French door” and is a chamber with two doors at the top and one or two freezers at the bottom.
4. Side-by-side refrigerators. The most spacious model designed in America. Consists of two vertical compartments: a refrigerator and a freezer.

Price

The cheapest models from the Chinese manufacturer Midea, which are one chamber without a freezer, cost between 6-7 thousand rubles. The price of products included in the top sales is 25-35 thousand rubles. These are compact, no-frills refrigerators. The cost of premium level equipment produced in Europe or Japan is 200-300 thousand rubles. These are solid and reliable units, distinguished by an elegant design, freezing zones of different temperatures, a large freezer compartment and many additional settings.

Climatic class and compressor type

Not everyone knows, but if the refrigerator breaks down due to improper operating conditions, it is not subject to warranty repair. Depending on the temperature in the apartment, the following climate classes are distinguished:

N - suitable for standard rooms in which the temperature range ranges from +16 to +32.

SN - designed for rooms with temperature differences from +10 to +32, basements or outdoor spaces.

ST and T are climate classes that determine the operation of the product in a room where the temperature rises to 38-43°C.

Almost all modern models have a compressor cooling system. The most popular ones have one compressor that works for the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment. For dual-compressor devices, these chambers operate autonomously. According to the type of operation, compressors are divided into linear, which turn on periodically, and inverter, which work constantly. The latter are quieter and save energy.

Energy class

The refrigerator is the only household appliance that works smoothly, so it is imperative to pay attention to light consumption. The most economical models are marked with the letter A and pluses from one to three. To find out how much it will cost to operate the device, you need to look at the energy consumption parameter in the data sheet and multiply it by the price of kW/hour.

Refrigerator dimensions

The size of the device is perhaps the main factor of choice. Decide on the location of the refrigerator, measure it with a tape measure. You need to start from these indicators when purchasing. Typically, the standard chamber width is 60 cm. If the room is of modest size, a refrigerator with a bottom of 0.6 * 0.45 m is suitable. For the most popular models, these figures are 0.6 * 0.6 m.

French Door and Side-by-side refrigerators have different dimensions. Their width can range from 80 cm to 1.2 m.

The height of the units varies from 49 cm for small single-chamber devices to 203 cm for semi-industrial devices. The standard height of a refrigerator is 150-170 cm, for two-chamber refrigerators it is 180 cm. There are models with a height of 200-203 cm. Such a device cannot be disassembled into its component parts, so you need to check whether it will fit through the doorway.

The internal volume of the chamber depends on the height, width and depth of the model. This figure is taken at the rate of 120 liters for each person. For a family of 2-3 people, a volume of 250 liters is sufficient, for three - 300-400 liters, etc. Of course, these parameters are conditional.

Defrosting the refrigerator compartment

Traditional manual defrosting, in which the refrigerator needs to be turned off, washed and dried, is gradually becoming a thing of the past. Much more popular is the No Frost, or “No Frost” system. With this design, ice does not accumulate, since it is periodically melted by the heater. The fan moves liquid droplets into the evaporator, and from it the water is discharged into a special reservoir.

With a drip system, frost condenses on the back wall of the unit and flows down into a special tray.

Defrosting the freezer

In models with a two-chamber design, including a food compartment and a freezer, marked with the Full No Frost marking, frost does not form. There are options that combine a drip defrosting system in the refrigerator and a No Frost system in the freezer. Domestic manufacturers have models with a freezer that require manual deicing.

Freezer

A separate compartment for frozen food significantly saves the family budget, since seasonal berries, fruits and vegetables are much cheaper than store-bought ones. The temperature in this compartment is much lower than in the refrigerator compartment. The temperature indicators and shelf life of products are indicated by the number of snowflakes indicated in the technical specifications:

1. One* . Temperature - 6-7°C, shelf life - a week;
2. Two** . Temperature -12°C, shelf life - one month;
3. Three*** . Temperature - 18°C, shelf life 3 months;
4. Four**** . Temperature - 24°C, shelf life at least 6 months.

Advice. All the best technical characteristics can be overshadowed by the sound from the operation of the unit. Therefore, you should prefer a model with a low noise level - from 24 to 35-44 dB.

With No Frost system

In products with a modern No-Frost system, there is only one evaporator, which is located between the freezer and refrigerator compartments; the cold air from it is distributed throughout the entire unit thanks to a fan. Through technological perforations it enters the freezer compartment, and through channels inside the body and special holes into the refrigerator.

The Atlant No Frost refrigerator is very popular because it automatically defrosts, and there is no ice formation on the walls in the freezer, so user intervention is not necessary. The entire operating mode of the product can be described as follows:

1. The built-in fan supplies cold air from the evaporator to the freezing and cooling chambers; the entire system is designed in such a way that the cold reaches any compartment of the chambers without hindrance.
2. After reaching the optimal storage temperature set by the user, the sensor turns off the compressor and condensation begins to form on the evaporator, which moves by gravity to the pan, where it evaporates.

Important! The drip defrosting system and No Frost should not be confused; they are similar in action, but the latter does not form condensation inside the refrigeration chamber; the entire process occurs behind a plastic partition and is hidden from the user.

It's time to find out all the positive and negative aspects of this system. Many eminent experts point out the following advantages of No Frost:

• uniform distribution of cold air throughout all chambers;
• rapid restoration of the optimal temperature for storage after loading the next batch of products, which has a positive effect on saving electrical energy during operation of the refrigerator.

The temperature difference between the upper and lower shelves in the refrigerator compartment, as well as between plastic containers in the freezer, for products with the No Frost system is 1-2 degrees, and for units without such an improvement - 5-6 and 7-9, respectively.

Minuses:

• low humidity levels, which can affect the drying of stored products;
• volume reduction - the system takes up to 20 liters from the freezer for its needs;
• increased noise, because noise from fan rotation is added to the operation of the compressor;
• high price due to a more complex design and the presence of an additional fan, or even two.

The common belief that models with No Frost dry food faster cannot be a determining factor when choosing a refrigerator, since this can only happen if storage and packaging rules are violated. If all products are stored in separate containers or bags, and liquids are closed, then nothing terrible will happen to them.

Advantages of Atlant two-chamber refrigerators

All specialists and experts note the numerous advantages of Atlant refrigerators. So that you can confidently make a choice in favor of a model of this brand, let’s consider the most important advantages of a refrigerator from Belarus:

1. Full mechanical control. The refrigerator device includes two regulators responsible for its operation. This provides reliable protection against breakdowns in the event of possible voltage surges in the network. In foreign analogues, not all models have such protection. This guarantees the reliability of Atlanta; they have been working without breakdowns for decades

2. Electronics. It controls the operation of the compressor in automatic mode; it regularly turns it off, preventing overheating. Some modern models are equipped with the “Diagnostics of the entire refrigerator” function, which is periodically done automatically. In this case, the electronics itself sets the optimal temperature regime and controls the self-defrosting function. If necessary, you can set the cooling temperature manually, and all data is displayed on an electronic display.

3. Minimum noise level. All refrigerators are equipped with a class A compressor, which is manufactured using Danish technology and license. The noise level of such a compressor is very low and does not exceed 38-39 dBA. These are the quietest devices in operation.

4. Minimum energy consumption. Household kitchen appliances with class A+ energy consumption level save up to 70% of energy during operation. This makes even large two-chamber Atlant refrigerators the most economical.

5. Automatic defrosting - No Frost system. This function ensures automatic water circulation, and the refrigerator does not require defrosting. The principle of operation is that all the ice is immediately defrosted and flows into a special container. From there it evaporates back into the freezer to maintain the required level of humidity.

6. Fresh system. This is one of the new products in refrigerators. The Fresh system differs from No Frost in that it creates a favorable area for storing any food without drying it out. The temperature regime, if necessary, can be adjusted in the range from -18C to +10C. You can set the desired temperature manually.

7. Possibility to rehang the doors. A very practical advantage of the Atlant refrigerator, which allows you to easily change the door opening direction after installation in the kitchen.

8. Comfortable interior design “New Wave”. All forms of shelves and drawers inside the refrigerator have a smooth, streamlined shape without sharp corners. Users especially noted in the reviews that this makes it easy to keep the inside of the cells clean.

9. Stylish and modern appearance. Some new refrigerators even have a mirror located on the outside of the door.

10. Electronic display (scoreboard). Located on the door, at eye level, the external display is an indicator that allows you to monitor the temperature of the refrigerator.

Buyers especially note the reliability of Atlant refrigerators, at a very affordable price. They rarely have breakdowns, more often due to the fault of consumers; possible defects account for only 1-2% of all manufactured products. Malfunctions and repairs that arise are inexpensive; all the necessary spare parts, which are available in every workshop, are supplied from Belarus. Belarusian refrigerators cost less than their Western counterparts, and their service life is much longer. Find out the main problems with refrigerators.

How to defrost an Atlant refrigerator

Atlant refrigerators have the following defrosting systems: Full No Frost, drip and mechanical. By the way, the drip system is used only in the refrigerator compartment. Let's look at each system in detail and tell you how to properly defrost the device.

If your refrigerator has a built-in Full No Frost system, then you are required to turn off the device approximately once a year and carry out routine cleaning; the device will do the rest automatically.

With a drip system, the refrigerator must be defrosted once a quarter; the water will flow into a special reservoir. However, the freezer compartment of such refrigerators usually uses a mechanical defrosting system, which is carried out as needed. Most often, it is this system that causes difficulties, so we decided to give step-by-step instructions for defrosting such a freezer:

1. Unplug the device and remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Prepare containers where the water will drain and clean cloth napkins.
3. The natural defrosting process lasts from three hours or more, depending on the amount of ice.

If you want to speed up defrosting, you can use the following life hacks:

• place a cup of boiling water inside the chamber, after placing a board under it;
• place a heating pad with hot water in the refrigerator;
• spray the walls of the chamber with hot water from a spray bottle;
• use a fan or hair dryer, directing the air flow into the chamber.

When all the ice has melted, you need to thoroughly rinse the refrigerator, all shelves and trays, and then wipe dry. We keep the device open for an hour, then close it and plug it into the network. After about half an hour (the refrigerator will just get cold) you can load the food.
