Modern refrigeration units of the brand Pozis, in particular the series Paracels, require competent initial setup to ensure a long service life and high-quality storage of products. Immediately after the delivery and installation of kitchen equipment, you should not rush to load the products. It is necessary to give the compressor oil time to distribute throughout the system, as well as ensure the correct temperature conditions for the first start.
Incorrect initial setting can lead to increased energy consumption or even failure. thermostat. Owners are often faced with the question of what value to set on a mechanical pen or electronic display. The answer depends on the model, but the basic principles of thermodynamics are the same for the entire line of Pozis.
In this article we will analyze in detail the algorithm of actions that will allow you to avoid common mistakes. You will learn how to properly adjust climate zones and understand how to interpret display signals. This will help maintain the freshness of products and prevent damage to expensive equipment.
Initial installation and preparation for startup
Before connecting Pozis Paracels to the power supply, make sure that the unit has stood in a vertical position for the required time. If transportation was carried out at low temperatures, exposure in a warm room should be at least 4-5 hours. This is critical to prevent damage to compressor when starting.
Place the refrigerator on a flat, stable surface. Misalignment of the housing can lead to loose fitting of the doors and, as a result, to ice freezing or constant operation of the motor. Use a building level or simply visually assess the position of the unit relative to the floor.
⚠️ Attention: Do not install the refrigerator near heating appliances or in direct sunlight. Heating the side walls significantly increases the load on the cooling system.
Provide the necessary ventilation gap between the rear wall of the cabinet and the wall of the room. The minimum distance should be 5-10 centimeters. Lack of air circulation around condenser will lead to overheating and reduced cooling efficiency.
Adjusting the temperature in the refrigerator compartment
The temperature setting in the main chamber depends on the type of control of your model Pozis Paracels. Mechanical versions use a rotary control located inside the chamber or on the top panel. The numbers on the scale usually do not mean degrees, but the cooling intensity.
For standard food storage conditions, it is recommended to set the regulator to the middle position. If the room is hot, you can increase the cooling by turning the knob towards larger numbers. However, it is worth remembering that maximum power does not always mean better safety.
In models with electronic control, the setting is made through the panel on the door. Here you can set the exact temperature, for example +4°C or +5°C. The system itself will support the set parameter, turning it on and off unit as needed.
- 🌡️ The optimal range for storing prepared dishes is from +2°C to +5°C.
- 🥩 For raw meat and fish, it is better to set temperature closer to 0°C or use a special freshness zone.
- 🥛 Dairy products will remain fresh longer at a stable temperature without sudden changes.
- 🍺 Drinks can be stored at slightly higher temperatures, on the top shelf of the door.
Do not forget that fully loading the chamber with products affects thermal exchange. An empty refrigerator will cool faster, but when the door is opened, the temperature inside it will fluctuate more. When filled with volume products the unit operates more stable.
Setting the freezer and freezing modes
The freezer compartment in refrigerators Pozis Paracels requires special attention, especially if you plan stock up on food for future use. In mechanical models, the temperature here is regulated by the same lever as in the refrigerator compartment, or by a separate screw inside the freezer.
For quick freezing of fresh food, the Super Freeze (Super Freeze) mode is designed. When this function is activated, the compressor runs continuously, ignoring the thermostat readings. This allows you to quickly freeze a large volume of food, preserving their structure and vitamins.
☑️ Preparing for the super-freeze mode
You cannot use the intensive freezing mode all the time. This leads to accelerated wear motor-compressor and the formation of a thick ice crust on the evaporator. After the food has frozen (usually after a day), the function must be turned off.
| Operating mode | Temperature (approximate) | Operating time | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eco / Standard | -18°C | Cyclic | Long-term storage |
| Super freezing | -24°C and below | Continuous | Fresh products |
| Rest / Minimum | -12°C ... -14°C | Rarely | Vacation, minimum products |
It is important to correctly distribute products in freezer box. Do not overcrowd the chamber, leave space for cold air to circulate. This is especially true for cooling systems No Frostwhere air flow plays a key role.
Working with electronic controls and display
Models Pozis Paracels with an electronic control unit offer advanced functionality. The display shows the current temperature, as well as indicators for compressor operation and the presence of defrost. Control is carried out using touch buttons or mechanical keys under the screen.
To change parameters, you must press the corresponding setting button. Some modifications require you to hold the button for 3 seconds to enter the menu. After this, flashing numbers will allow you to select the desired value.
Hidden menu functions
In some models, long pressing the button combination allows you to enter the service menu to calibrate the sensors. It is not recommended to do this without special equipment.
If a red indicator or alarm symbol lights up on the display, this indicates an increase in the temperature inside the chambers. Check if the door is tightly closed. Also, a signal may appear when warm foods are loaded for the first time - this is a normal reaction of the system.
⚠️ Attention: Wipe the control panel only with a slightly damp soft cloth. Moisture getting inside the buttons or on the display can cause a short circuit in the electronic board.
Electronics allows for more precise control of operation unit. However, it is more sensitive to power surges in the network. It is recommended to use a stabilizer or surge protector to protect the control unit.
Deciphering error codes and signals
Refrigerators Pozis equipped with a self-diagnosis system. If a malfunction occurs, alphanumeric codes may appear on the display, or the device may start beeping. Understanding these codes will help you quickly determine the nature of the breakdown.
The most common indications are related to temperature deviations. For example, a flashing temperature indicator indicates that the inside of the chamber is warmer than the established norm. This may be a consequence of the door being open for a long time or a breakdown thermostat.
- ❗ A flashing "F" symbol often indicates problems in the freezer compartment (Freezer).
- ❗ The "E" indicator usually indicates an electronic or sensor error (Error).
- ❗ An audible signal may duplicated by the blinking alarm light on the panel.
If the error does not disappear after defrosting and turning it back on, the part probably needs to be replaced. In such cases, it is better to contact an authorized service center, since independent repair of complex electronics can aggravate the situation.
Energy saving and economical modes
Modern refrigerators Pozis Paracels belong to a high energy efficiency class. However, proper settings can further reduce power consumption. One way is to install the unit away from heat sources.
The "Vacation" or "Eco" mode allows you to switch the refrigerator to an economical operating mode. In this case, the refrigerator compartment can turn off or switch to maintaining a temperature of about +15°C, which prevents the appearance of mold, but saves resources.
Regular defrosting (for drip systems) also affects energy consumption. A layer of ice 5 mm thick increases electricity consumption by 10-15%. Monitor the condition of the evaporator and remove ice in a timely manner.
Frequently asked questions when setting up (FAQ)
Why does the refrigerator hum loudly after setting the temperature?
When you turn it on for the first time or after changing the settings to a lower temperature, the compressor can work harder and longer ordinary. This is a normal process of entering the regime. If the noise does not subside after a few hours and is accompanied by vibration, check the stability of the installation.
How often do you need to defrost Pozis Paracels?
Models with the system No Frost do not require manual defrosting, it is enough to wash them 1-2 times a year. Drip systems ("Crying Wall") need to be defrosted completely 2 times a year, when the ice reaches 5-7 mm.
Is it possible to install a refrigerator in an unheated country house?
Most refrigerators Pozis have a climate class SN, which allows operation at ambient temperature from +10°C. Below this temperature, the oil in the compressor thickens, which can lead to failure when starting.
What to do if it is too cold inside even at minimum?
If the regulator is set to minimum and the food freezes, the thermostat or temperature sensor may be faulty. Also check that the ventilation holes inside the chamber are not blocked by products.
Do door hinges need to be lubricated during installation?
Factory lubricant usually lasts its entire service life. Additional lubrication is only required if squeaking occurs. Use a special silicone grease that does not leave marks on food.
