Class power consumption is not straightforward measure of how little energy spent refrigerator. With its calculation takes into account the volume of the refrigerator, the cooling system is used, climatic class refrigerator, freezer declared class (how many "stars"). A small "weeping" of class C refrigerator can consume less power than a giant six-foot class A. No Frost higher class consumption shows higher efficiency refrigerator of the same volume and with the same cooling system. If you are wondering how much power to spend for the year (kilowatt-hours or in monetary equivalent), then this indicator and should be sought in the characteristics of the instrument. Some time ago, the highest energy consumption was considered a class A class, lower – D.

However, the development of technology has led to the possibility of tightening requirements for power consumption, and were introduced two classes – A +, A + +. Now a growing number of models have classes A + and A + +. How important to consider this when selecting a refrigerator – you decide. We note only that the two refrigerators Class A and the difference in annual energy consumption may be about 100 kW "h, which corresponds to the additional cost of 100-150 rubles. per year (at prices of electricity in the first half of 2006). CONTROL PANEL The control panel can be mechanical or electronic. With electronic control panel can be independent temperature control in refrigeration and freezer up to one-of-two degrees.

Mechanical control such precision does not, and often not scaled to a specific temperature. Increasingly, refrigerators are equipped with screens that are visible to all the parameters of the refrigerator. PLEASANT SUPPLEMENT Besides the basic functions and characteristics of the refrigerator, each model has a pleasant "little things" that provide comfort to the consumer. These functions may include audible and visual indicators for open the door or raise the temperature in the refrigerator, ice machine availability, a variety of modes, "superohlazhdeniya" providing intensive cooling, humidity control systems in the "zero separation."
