For long-term and high-quality operation of any equipment, the user needs to properly care for it. The refrigerator is no exception. Manufacturer Atlant, Minsk, produces a line of devices with two chambers and 2 compressors. The system allows you to turn off the refrigerator or freezer compartment. To familiarize yourself with the basic operating rules, instructions for the Atlant two-chamber refrigerator are given below.
Controls
The configuration is carried out by the user independently. For simple two-chamber models with 2 compressors, made in Minsk, above the refrigerating chamber are:
- Three indicators: red, green and yellow.
- The temperature control rollers are divided from 1 to 7. The higher the number, the stronger the freezing.
- The "Freeze" mode switch is located between the rollers.
The indicators light up in divided colors when the freezer and refrigerator compartments are turned on. When the Freeze mode is on, the yellow light is on. When the temperature in the freezer compartment rises, the red indicator lights up.
Refrigerator two-chamber Atlant XM
This situation occurs after the chamber is loaded with fresh products, as well as due to a malfunction. If the red light does not go out for a long time, you should contact the repair service.
For reference! The designation of two-chamber appliances Atlant XM and MXM indicates the location of the freezer compartment. Atlant MXM has a freezer at the top and a refrigerator compartment at the bottom. For Atlant XM models it’s the other way around.
Characteristics of the Minsk-128 refrigerator
The two-chamber unit is represented by the series: 1, 1m, 01, 02. Equipment – 2 chambers (independent freezing and refrigerating). The useful volume of the unit is 300 liters. The operating voltage range is 187-242 volts. The device is designed to operate at ambient temperatures from +16 to +32 degrees.
Freezing capacity – from 8 to 10 kg per day. The freezer temperature is maintained no higher than -18 degrees. Electricity consumption no more than 1.62 sq. per day. Unit weight -72 kg, height 1600 cm, width 600 cm.
First start
A two-chamber and two-compressor refrigerator cannot be turned on and operated immediately after transportation. You need to wait at least half an hour.
If it's minus outside, you'll have to wait about 4 hours.
- Remove packaging materials and wipe the inside of the device with soapy water. Wipe dry.
- Place the two-compressor refrigerator on a flat surface away from heating devices and sunlight. There should be a distance of about 5 cm between the device and the wall.
- A refrigerator with 2 compressors stands on supports. In order for the door to close on its own, the far pillars must be unscrewed slightly less than the front supports.
- If there are shelf latches inside the refrigerator compartment, they must be removed by pulling them towards you until they stop.
Atlant refrigerator models
- If the kit includes upper stops for the rear wall, they should also be installed.
- Plug the power cord into a power outlet. If it becomes necessary to turn off the device again, turn it on again after 5 minutes.
- On the control panel, scroll the controls to position “2”. A click must be heard. The green indicator for the refrigerator compartment and the red indicator for the “freezer” will light up. If the compressor operates continuously, the regulator should be adjusted downwards. In the future, the temperature will be adjusted automatically.
Operation begins from the moment the device reaches the required cooling. Depending on the configuration, the user can reverse the doors. For two-chamber Atlant MXM models, only left-side door opening is provided.
MXM indicators and control buttons
Good to know! For models with a digital control panel, the temperature mode is adjusted using the up and down buttons.
Installation of Atlant refrigerator
The room for refrigeration equipment must meet certain requirements:
- area - at least 5 m²,
- height - from 2.5 m.
- room temperature +18…+22º C,
- Optimal air humidity is no more than 75%.
You need to place the device in a place where there is no direct sunlight and about a meter away from heating devices. Leave a space of 5 cm on each side to allow air circulation.
Before turning on the refrigerator, you need to wait 4-5 hours from the moment it was installed .
After this time, you can remove the packaging and treat all components with soapy water. Particular attention should be paid to the supports on which two-compressor refrigerators are installed. To independently close the door, the rear pillars are unscrewed less than the front pillars.
After drying, all that remains is to plug in the Atlant refrigerator with 2 compressors and read the instructions for users. There are all possible options for installing components. If there are shelf latches left in the refrigerator compartment, you need to remove them by pulling them towards you until they stop.
Defrosting system with drip defrosting method
The frost that appears on the rear wall automatically defrosts when any of the 2 compressors is turned off. The water flows into a special hole, then enters the tray, where it then evaporates. If the drain becomes clogged, water accumulates and begins to flow out of the two-compressor refrigerator through the refrigerator door.
To prevent such a situation, it is necessary to turn off the 2-chamber device once a quarter and defrost it. You should also monitor the drainage. If it is clogged, it should be cleaned with the brush that comes with the kit or with a cotton swab.
General rules
How to defrost a refrigerator:
- turn off the refrigerator compartment using the temperature control roller or removing the refrigerator power plug from the electrical outlet;
- remove all products and containers from the chamber;
- if a snow cover of more than 3-5 mm has formed, it is necessary to leave the refrigerator to defrost;
- It is prohibited to use metal objects to remove frost;
- wash the entire chamber with a soft cloth moistened with warm water, a solution of warm water and a non-abrasive detergent;
- Clean the condensate drain hole in the rear wall using the supplied brush.

No Frost system. Is defrosting necessary?
According to the instructions, frequent defrosting of Atlant models with the No Frost system is not required. It is enough to turn off the 2-chamber device once a year and wash it. For long service life of the system, products should not be placed close to the back wall of household appliances. The air ducts must not come into contact with foreign objects.
No Frost system
Instructions for a refrigerator with 2 compressors must be included with the household appliance upon sale. An electronic manual for a specific model can be found on the official website of the company in Minsk, as well as in the description of the product in other stores, for example, M Video, Eldorado, DNS, etc.
The instructions included with the Atlant two-chamber refrigerator contain recommendations for installation and configuration. Before starting operation, the user is recommended to read the documentation to avoid mistakes that lead to damage and costly repairs.
Operating instructions for a two-chamber refrigerator "Minsk"
According to the instructions, all Atlanta brand units must be operated under certain conditions.
- Humidity no more than 70%.
- External temperature from +10 to +32 degrees.
- The size of the room is at least five square meters.
- Height to ceiling – 2.5 meters.
It is necessary to pay attention to the points in the manual about the inadmissibility of the following actions:
- Defrost the device using sharp objects and prevent damage or violation of the system’s tightness;
- Place the unit close to the wall;
- Install the device near fire hazardous sources;
- Use a damaged power cord;
- Leave the operating unit unattended for more than 14 days;
- Wash the refrigerator that is turned on.
Placement and installation
The refrigerator operating manual recommends installing the equipment in a room with an area of at least 5 m². The room must be equipped with ventilation; it is not allowed to install refrigeration equipment in rooms with a temperature outside the range of 18-22°C. Do not expose the housing to direct sunlight, or place the refrigerator near central heating radiators. An air gap of at least 50 mm wide must be maintained between the housing and the walls.
After installing the equipment in the planned location, you need to remove the shipping film, and then wash the outer part of the case and camera with a soapy solution. If the kit includes parts for self-assembly, you should install the elements in accordance with the attached instructions for use. Then the user adjusts the screw front supports, achieving uniform installation of the product (at the building level). Incorrectly installed equipment produces extraneous noise during operation.
What to do if the temperature is not satisfactory?
New refrigerators have temperature regulators set to medium temperature conditions. If the consumer is not satisfied with the specified parameters, they can be changed by following some rules, namely:
- turn the knob in the desired direction only one notch;
- evaluate the results obtained only after 5 or 6 hours;
- if necessary, continue to regulate temperature indicators, changing modes sequentially, excluding sudden jumps and changes.
Some users, after obtaining the desired results, mark the desired position of the pen using a marker or felt-tip pen.
Preparing for work
Some refrigerators use glass shelves equipped with plastic transport elements. The shelves are distributed along guide grooves inside the refrigerator compartment. The operating instructions for the Atlant refrigerator do not recommend turning on the power for 30 minutes after transportation (due to the risk of oil getting into the capillary channels). If the equipment was delivered to the installation site in winter, then the product is kept at room temperature for 4 hours.
On the back wall of the equipment there are grooves for installing plastic stops that prevent the heat exchanger from coming into contact with the wall surface. Refrigeration units are labeled with the serial number, model and technical parameters. Removing this label is prohibited due to the risk of voiding warranty service. The front doors of the equipment are installed on right hinges; the design allows the doors to be hung on the left side of the housing.
Typical malfunctions of various models
Over time, problems with the operation of refrigeration units may occur.
Practice shows that the following problems most often arise:
- The freezer compartment is working normally, but the refrigerator compartment is at an abnormally high temperature.
- The back wall in the refrigerator compartment freezes; after removing the ice, it appears again.
- The refrigerator compartment works fine, but the freezer compartment does not freeze.
- The compressor either does not start or runs without shutting down.
- The appearance of water inside the working compartments, the growth of a snow coat on the evaporator.
- The compressor starts, but after some time it randomly turns off.
- The unit shows no signs of life.
The reasons for these problems may vary. The easiest way to identify them is if you know the “sick” spots of your model.
Craftsmen working with Minsk devices identify characteristic breakdowns for a group of specific models. We invite you to consider them in more detail.
Group #1 - Minsk mxm 130, 131, 151, 152, 161, 162
For these models, a typical problem is freezing of the rear panel of the refrigerator. Most often, ice appears in the evaporator area on the left side of the plate.
A block of ice constantly freezes here, which melts when the device defrosts, but then freezes again. Thus, the owner has to defrost the unit more and more often. The problem only gets worse over time.
Such equipment often “suffered” from freezing of the rear wall. If the problem is not solved, ice will form in ever greater quantities, even covering the shelves. The equipment had to be defrosted more and more often
The rate of ice formation and its quantity gradually increase. If measures are not taken, frost begins to “grab” the shelves, taking away the usable volume of the device.
In an attempt to get rid of ice, some housewives break it off with a knife, which can lead to a breakdown of the evaporator. This is a more complex problem that requires soldering the damaged part, replacing the filter and charging the system with refrigerant.
Group #2 - Minsk mxm 260, 268, 2706, 2712
These are two-chamber devices with a top freezer position. Their “pain point” is clogging of the capillary system.
This happens because R134A, a refrigerant that is prone to clogging, circulates in their circuits.
When mixed with a small amount of motor oil, it forms small “blood clots” that stop the system from working. This manifests itself as follows.
The freezer compartment continues to function normally, but sometimes it starts to freeze more than necessary. The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is steadily rising.
The rise in temperature can be sharp, but sometimes a coat of snow appears first. It melts quickly as the temperature becomes unacceptably high.
To solve the problem, the tube is purged, causing the clot to escape into the evaporator.
Sometimes, as a result of the measures taken, it is not possible to cope with the blockage. Therefore, to restore the functionality of the refrigerator, it is necessary to replace the capillary tube
Group #3 - malfunctions Minsk 15m
In this model, the thermostat quite often fails, which requires its replacement. The compressor may break down. In addition, quite often there is a refrigerant leak from the freezer evaporator.
In the latter case, the evaporator becomes covered with a coat of frost, and the temperature in the refrigerator compartment rises.
A refrigerant leak is a fairly common problem. It occurs extremely rarely due to corrosion of the evaporator. Much more often its cause is mechanical damage to the part.
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to detect the location of the leak and the evaporator has to be replaced. In the best case, the damaged part is properly sealed.
Group #4 – Minsk mxm 126, mxm 1607, 1609
The Achilles heel of model number 126 is the thermostat . If the unit operates cyclically, that is, it periodically turns off/on, but the temperature in the refrigerator compartment is unacceptably high, and the freezer compartment functions normally.
Most likely, the thermostat has failed and will have to be replaced with a new one.
Models with the nomenclature designations 1607 and 1609 have two main problems. The first is a clogged capillary tube, the second is a refrigerant leak that occurred in a foamed part of the equipment.
In both cases, the refrigerator compartment stops working, but the freezer continues to function for some time. But gradually it also stops working.
The main difference is that if there is a leak, the compressor continues to work, and there is no cold in both compartments.
Due to the simplicity of the design, you can replace the thermostat in old Minsk brand refrigerators on your own. This requires a minimum set of tools
First start
Before connecting the equipment to the electrical network, you should set the temperature parameters. The refrigerator is controlled by an electromechanical rotary regulator with a temperature scale. Models of the No Frost series use an electronic corrector with buttons and signal indicators; on some models there is a liquid crystal display that displays the temperature and displays error codes. Modifications with two compressors are equipped with separate temperature indications for the chambers.
By default, the temperature controls are set to the middle position; if the user does not intend to load the chamber with products, then the setting should not be changed. It takes up to 20-24 hours for the equipment to cool down to operating temperature upon first start-up. After connecting the refrigeration unit to the network, the compressor is activated, which begins to pump refrigerant through the refrigeration circuit. If the user disconnects the plug, reconnection to the electrical circuit is allowed after 5-7 minutes.
What if there are two compressors?
This engineering solution involves servicing the refrigeration section with one compressor and the freezer compartment with the other. This allows precise adjustments to be made to the motors individually, or even to disable one if necessary. How to regulate the temperature in the Atlant refrigerator in such cases?
Here, temperature settings are made using two different regulators, similar to those described above, by setting the control knob to the desired number.
It should be noted that in case of problems, special jumpers come to the rescue, allowing you to switch both parts to a single working motor.
How to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator
The temperature in the Atlant refrigerator is adjusted using a rotary regulator or buttons on the control panel. The set temperature depends on the degree of filling with food and on the model of the refrigerator. Refrigeration units manufactured by Atlant have a setting algorithm that depends on the number of chambers and working compressors. Some models use a button to turn on the accelerated freezing mode, which is turned off manually or by a signal from the control unit.
A little history
In 1959, the Minsk Refrigerator Plant was founded (since 1977, Atlant Production Association). In 1962, the plant produced the first refrigerator - “Minsk-1”.
The Minsk Refrigerator Plant began operating in 1959. One of the first enterprises began to produce a two-chamber refrigerator in Minsk. At the top of the device there was a small freezer divided into 2 compartments.
Belarusian refrigeration equipment was produced with two, more often with one, compressor for both two-chamber and single-chamber devices. In 1962, the first refrigerator with the Minsk-1 brand was released. A special feature of the model was its layout with a cabinet for food and dishes - two in one.
In 1977, the company merged with the Belarusian machine tool plant, which produced compressors. The association received the double name “Minsk - Atlant”.

Refrigerator care
The instructions for the Atlant two-chamber refrigerator contain a number of care tips:
- Condensation formed on the walls and shelves is removed with a dry towel or napkin.
- To remove contaminants, use a soap or soda solution (1 tsp of substance per 1 liter of liquid). Remaining solution is removed with a dry cloth; equipment is cleaned only after turning off the power and removing products from the chambers.
- To remove odors, it is recommended to wash the seals and the areas of the housing located under them.
- Dust settled on the radiator grille is removed with a soft brush mounted on the vacuum cleaner hose. Operating a refrigerator with a dirty heat exchanger leads to decreased performance and increased energy consumption.
- Equipment not equipped with a No Frost unit must be manually defrosted regularly. If a thick layer of ice and frost forms, the performance of the unit will deteriorate.
Features of digital displays in modern versions
The electronic control of the Atlant refrigerator is most often located at the top of the door, but there are also cases where it is located on the surface of the door (in newer versions). To select the temperature, either regular buttons or a touch system are provided.
The main rules in such systems:
- to change the settings of the digital relay, press keys;
- in cases of dual-chamber options, the displays are divided into two compartments, each of which shows data in separate compartments;
- for freezing containers they provide a range from −18 to −24 degrees, and for refrigeration parts it is possible to choose from +1 to +8 degrees;
- One press of the button allows you to change the temperature by 1 degree.
Refrigerators belonging to the so-called “New Wave” series have advanced displays equipped with electronic controls. The attached instructions describe in detail, step by step, the operation of installing and adjusting temperature indicators.
Electronic units are equipped with a special alarm that notifies you about a long (more than 1 minute) opening of the refrigerator door or about its incomplete closing. They also provide a system for shutting down the unit in cases of an increase above standard values or an abnormal voltage drop.
Malfunctions and their elimination
Common problems when operating Atlant refrigerators:
- When the equipment is connected to the network, the refrigeration chamber illumination unit does not work. A malfunction occurs when a lamp fails or when a door switch gets stuck (due to dirt getting on the surface).
- Operating noise indicates that the equipment is installed at an angle. After adjusting the position, extraneous sounds disappear.
- Formation of condensation in the chamber of refrigerators with a No Frost block. The defect appears when the water drain channels leading to the tray on the compressor cover are clogged. Metal wire is used for cleaning.
- The compressor is constantly running, but the temperature in the chamber is higher than the set value. A malfunction occurs when operating conditions are violated or when the doors are not closed tightly.
- The appearance of frost in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator with a No Frost unit indicates blockage of the air channels (on the back cover of the case) or frequent opening of the front door.
Some problems can be resolved by the user himself. If the defect recurs or DIY repairs do not lead to the disappearance of signs of failure, it is recommended to contact a service center.
Atlant is a well-known brand that has firmly taken its place in the Russian market. The Minsk manufacturer produces equipment with the ability to separately defrost the freezer and refrigerator compartments. With the purchase of such models, questions inevitably arise: how to set up a refrigerator, how to set the temperature in Atlanta with two compressors, and what can be found in the instructions for defrosting a two-chamber device. So, the Atlant two-chamber refrigerator with 2 compressors: instructions.
Clogged capillary line
The capillary tube is designed to create a freon pressure difference. At its inlet, the refrigerant enters under condensation pressure. As it moves through the capillary tube, the freon pressure drops to boiling pressure; at the outlet, the refrigerant boils in the evaporator and takes heat from it. Along with freon, oil from the compressor circulates through the refrigerator tubes. The refrigerant reacts with the oil, resulting in the formation of paraffins, which are deposited in the capillary tube and lead to its clogging.
Signs | Remedy | Price* |
The Atlant refrigerator compressor does not turn off, but the temperature in the chambers is increased. It is possible that a red light with an exclamation mark is on on the refrigerator body, and in models with a display, the error H flashes on the screen. | The capillary tube will need to be replaced. The filter drier is changed along with it. Next, the system is evacuated and the refrigerator is charged with freon. If the blockage is partially blocked, the technician pushes it out using a specially converted car jack. | from 1800 rub. |
*Parts are not included in the price and are paid additionally.
How to set the temperature
The temperature setting is done by pressing a button or using a manual thermostat. Graduation from 1 to 8 allows you to most accurately determine the desired degree of cold. The higher the number, the stronger the frost. In this way, the temperature can be changed gradually.
In the Atlant refrigerator, the operating instructions for the temperature regulator explain that initially the manufacturer sets the regulator to number 3. Then the following rule applies: more products - higher number. At an average load, 5 degrees is enough to maintain the optimal mode. Please note that temperatures may vary in different areas. At the bottom, where containers for vegetables are usually located, it is much lower.
The temperature in the freezer is also controlled manually using a button on the electronic unit. To save energy and keep supplies frozen, it is enough to maintain the temperature around 18 degrees.
Attention: in the instructions for a two-chamber refrigerator with 2 compressors, it is recommended to set the fast freezing mode if there is more than 4 kg of food in the freezer.
The button for this function is located on the control panel. After pressing, the “SF” icon will light up, this means that the kitchen appliances are working properly and are now cooling the food. According to the recommendation, you need to turn off the quick freeze after a day.
Instructions for the refrigerator "Minsk-126"
Model 126 is designed to operate in the range from +16 to + 32 degrees. The device is installed level on the floor, without distortions, using adjustable supports. A slight tilt back is allowed to allow the door to close freely. There must be free space around the unit on all sides - at least 5 cm.
The thermostat has 7 divisions. The maximum freezing is turned on by setting the knob to division 7. The minimum temperature is set to division 1. The recommended average temperature is 4-5 degrees, at which good cooling and optimal energy consumption are achieved.
As the temperature decreases, there is an intensive increase in snow and an increase in flow rate. It is recommended to freeze more than five kilograms of food per day. Then transfer to the storage area and repeat the cycle. Fruits and vegetables are stored in the lower part of the refrigerator (containers with a lid).
To prevent intense freezing of snow on the evaporator, liquids are stored in closed containers. It is unacceptable to place warm or hot food in the refrigerator.
Defrosting refrigeration equipment
To extend the life of refrigeration equipment, it must be defrosted. Modern models have a function for removing frost from the evaporator in automatic mode. Therefore, it is enough to carry out the cleaning process once a year. The instructions for a two-chamber refrigerator from Minsk Atlant with 2 compressors contain several descriptions of how to proceed correctly:
- Defrosting should not be carried out in hot weather - the motor may overheat.
- The power supply to the device must be turned off to avoid a short circuit.
- To speed up cleaning, you can use a hairdryer or place a container of warm water inside the chamber.
- Do not use mechanical cleaning methods! Do not pick off ice with sharp objects or move equipment towards the stove or radiator.
- After defrosting is completed, the chamber should be washed with warm soapy water and wiped dry.
- Between general cleanings, keep an eye on the drain at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment and, if necessary, clean it with a special brush.
Separate compressors for the freezer and refrigerator compartments are good because the lower compartment can be rid of ice without opening the main compartment. This means that the defrosting process will go much faster, and the food will last much longer. As practice shows, the action usually takes 2-3 hours.
Defrost characteristic
Older models of equipment used manual defrosting. To defrost, the thermostat knob was set to the zero position. Then the handle was set to the desired mode and the unit turned on automatically after the snow was completely removed.
In the 12E, EM, 16E, EC series, natural semi-automatic defrosting was used due to the supply of warm air from the room. In models 12, 12 M, 16A and AC, forced semi-automatic defrosting was used when heated vapors entered the evaporator through the valve.
All single-chamber devices have a drainage system from the freezer into a special container under the unit. In modern versions, the equipment is equipped with an automatic defrosting system. For any type of defrosting, it is necessary to disconnect the equipment from the network to avoid electrical injury if moisture gets on the wires.
Malfunctions
The instructions for the Atlant two-chamber refrigerator contain recommendations on what to do if the refrigerator turns on noisily, spontaneous defrosting occurs, and answers to other questions. Also, during operation, minor failures may occur: a burnt out light bulb, a broken shelf, a cracked handle or drawer.
In this case, you need to contact the manufacturer's official website. In the “Service” section there are addresses of stores where you can buy parts that have become unusable. If you can’t fix the problem yourself, a technician from the service center will help.
Description and functions of the unit
Purpose – operation at home or in the office. Atlant refrigerators fit well into the interior of small spaces - they are compact, practical and multifunctional.
Read the instructions carefully - it will help you avoid wasting your nerves trying to figure out some operating issues. In this case, we are not talking about breakdowns; this device is very reliable, and in case of unforeseen situations it has protection in the form of fuses and limiters. But in order for the refrigerator and freezer to remain operational for a longer time than specified in the passport, it is necessary to periodically carry out maintenance.
The refrigerator has a standard set of functions for all refrigeration units:
- operates from a 220 V network at room temperatures from 5 to 35 degrees;
- There are two compartments for storing food - a freezer and a refrigerator; they both have shelves and drawers made of unbreakable glass or plastic for separate storage of food and molds for making ice cubes;
- each chamber has its own system for defrosting and preventing the build-up of an ice “coat”;
- in each compartment, thermostats support a mode set by the user separately for each; the refrigerator compartment has lighting;
- the refrigerator doors can be reinstalled in the other direction for ease of use, there is an alarm for opening or incomplete closing of the door (triggered after half a minute);
- light diodes on the facade of the refrigerator allow you to monitor its operating parameters: green – normal, red – temperature has not reached the set value, yellow – food is freezing;
- it can be rolled from one place to another without much effort and can be positioned horizontally by adjusting the supports.

Preparatory work. Main part of the installation
Before starting installation, you should always read the instructions from the manufacturer and find out about the installation requirements for it. Some models of modern production require special conditions and additional installation requirements. This category may include, for example, smart refrigerators. They require conditions that are not imposed on conventional units.
After delivery, the refrigerator should not be immediately released by the seller’s representatives, but should be unpacked and inspected for damage in their presence. Inspect the body of the refrigerator: it should not have dents or scratches. The power cord should be carefully examined for scratches, kinks or other defects from the factory. If there are problems, the refrigerator should be returned initially to avoid further power failures and breakdowns.
Electronic regulator
In many models of Atlant refrigerators, manual switches give way to modern settings methods. The devices are equipped with electronics - a control and display unit, where the temperature set in the chambers is reflected in numbers. The small display is located outside - no need to open the refrigerator. Read more about how to correctly set the cold level with an electronic regulator:
- changing the settings of the digital thermal relay is done by pressing push-button keys;
- installation is possible in the range -18-24ºС (what temperature should be in the freezer) or 2 8ºС (for the refrigeration cavity);
- A single press of the key changes the set cooling mode by 1ºC.
How many degrees should be in each of the refrigerator compartments can be seen on the display. If the household appliance has two compressors, any of the chambers can be turned off; The digital display is divided into 2 zones, each of which reflects the state inside the device. The temperature is set by 2 adjustment blocks.
About temperature unevenness inside the chamber
In any case, not all places in the refrigeration space will have a strictly set temperature. This should always be taken into account during operation of the unit:
- at the back wall (closer to the freezer), the data will be 2-2.5 degrees colder;
- in the very middle it will show the specified mode with a difference of + or – by 1 degree;
- on door shelves, indicators may differ by 5 degrees above the specified mark.
Correctly setting the temperature parameters in Atlant refrigerators of any modification will extend their service life, while preserving all the beneficial taste qualities of the stored products. In addition, significant energy savings can be achieved.

Basic Rules. Selecting a location
The correct location and connection of the refrigerator is the key to its long-term and trouble-free operation. Therefore, it is important to take into account a number of rules and requirements of the manufacturer. First of all, refer to the instructions.
Where equipment cannot be installed:
- Under the window (applies to small-sized equipment). This threatens with increased humidity and direct sunlight on the case, which leads to damage to the coating of the case.
- Near the battery, radiator, oven, stove. In this case, the unit overheats, increasing the risk of rapid breakdown.
- Sink. The device runs on electricity, so this installation is unsafe. Humidity in the room should not exceed 80%.
When choosing a room to accommodate any brand - LG, Haier, Bosch, Indesit and others - pay attention to its climate class. It indicates the temperatures at which the unit can be operated. Often this is +10-32 degrees.
It is advisable that the distance between the stove, sink and refrigerator be more than 50 cm. And when installing a Side by Side appliance, you should take into account the dimensions of swing doors.
It is important to ensure normal ventilation of the parts, so the distance from the wall should be at least 7 cm. This also applies to a refrigerator built into a cabinet or niche: be sure to maintain a gap between the walls of the case and the facade, otherwise the appliance will overheat and fail.
If you have a small kitchen and have to place the refrigerator next to the stove or radiator, stick special foil on the body, which will act as a reflective screen.
What else needs to be considered:
- Socket location. The equipment must be connected to a grounded network. If the voltage is unstable, it is recommended to install a stabilizer. It can protect several devices simultaneously: to do this, you need to calculate their total power.
- The floor in the kitchen must be strong and level. You can use anti-slip stickers or pads on the legs of the device to prevent the body from moving.
Not enough space in the kitchen? Then read our publication: “Is it possible to place a refrigerator on the balcony?” If you have an insulated loggia, you can place the device there.

Secrets to successfully installing cooling appliances in the kitchen
The most practical options for arranging kitchen appliances in the room
The size of the kitchen does not always allow you to install household appliances according to the attached instructions.
Before installing the electronics, you need to take into account that the place for the stove is determined in advance - the place of connection to the gas pipe. If the stove is electric, then use the advice above and install the stove and refrigerator at a distance of at least 60 cm. The sink is placed next to the water pipes, so its place is also known in advance. The refrigerator would best be placed in a corner - this arrangement is good because at least two sides (side and back walls) will be insulated from additional heat from the stove or water from the sink, in case it is impossible to arrange the equipment as recommended. Embedded samples already have their place. It is determined by the designer at the stage of designing the kitchen layout, so such equipment will simply need to be put in “its place.” Unlike a hob, an oven produces much more heat during operation, so the refrigerator and oven should be located as far away as possible.
Where to put the refrigerator so that it does not interfere
As mentioned above, it is best to determine the place of the refrigerator in the corner, where it will not interfere with its massiveness. However, if there is not enough space in the kitchen, then it can be taken outside, for example, into the corridor or utility room. In this way, you can find the most insulated place from moisture and heat, ensure sufficient air circulation and save space in the kitchen. With this installation, you need to remember that you will have to walk to the refrigerator, so do not hide it too far.
