1 water heater installation notes back to the top

[PConline Tips] There is a saying in the home appliance industry that "three-point quality, seven-point installation." As a consumer, it is not easy to purchase a home appliance that suits you. However, as a user, the installation and placement of home appliances needs more attention. Some non-standard installation methods or placement methods may even be possible. Buried hidden dangers!

Water heaters should be installed as professionally as possible

In recent years, electric water heater injuries have occurred from time to time, and there have been a few complaints. However, in the aftermath of product inspection accident investigations, it is often found that the quality of most of the wounded water heater products is not a problem. The main sources of accident problems are mostly Improper installation, so, for the installation of water heaters, we must not take it lightly, we must ask professionals to install.

Gas water heater


Gas water heater

Since gas water heaters require fuel when they work and emit harmful gases, we must remember not to “understand” the installation of gas water heaters. Take flue-type gas water heaters, flue-type gas water heaters must be installed exhaust channels to ensure complete installation to avoid accidents. The water heater should not be installed in the bathroom. It should be installed in a separate room. The room in which the water heater is installed must also have a window that communicates directly with the outside and maintains good ventilation.

Electric water heaters have become quite common nowadays, but electric shocks on electric water heaters still occur frequently. According to relevant statistics, in the accidents involving electric water heaters, environmental leakage accounted for 70% of the total, which caused electric water heaters to be charged due to lack of ground lines. There are also many cases of accidents.

Therefore, the author's suggestion is that the ground of the electric water heater should be connected separately. Some consumers believe that if the ground connection is not good, it is better to unplug the water heater outlet when bathing. In fact, this is a very wrong idea, because the electric water heater is connected to the water pipe, and some grounding is not good or not grounded at all. The old-fashioned floors may even have ground lines connected to the water pipes so that the water pipes serve as grounds for the buildings. In this case, as long as there is a leakage in the water heater of a household, the water pipes in the whole building will be charged. In this case, even if the plug of the electric water heater is unplugged, the already charged current in the water pipe will be exported along with the nozzle. Electric shock accident.

Washing machine to be stable

The washing machine must also pay special attention to the location of the washing machine. The washing machine must be placed in a stable and firm manner to prevent the machine from shaking or vibrating during operation, which may damage the life of the machine and increase the noise. Floor unevenness can be leveled by adjusting the screw at the bottom corner of the housing or by adding a solid gasket.


Washing machine should be placed smoothly

The place where the washing machine is placed should be well-ventilated and there is no place where the sun shines on. This is not only beneficial to the distribution of water vapor to reduce moisture and mildew, but also fully protects the electrical part of the insulation properties and the metal parts are less exposed to moisture corrosion.


Suitable for placement on ventilated and shaded balconies

In addition, the washing machine should be placed close to the water source, power supply, and the sewage pipe as far as possible to prevent the power supply lead and the upper and lower water pipes from obstructing the operation. Wires should not be soaked in water for a long time to avoid damage to the insulation of the outer skin and bury potential safety hazards.

The air conditioner is installed as far as possible

The installation position of the air-conditioning indoor unit is also very important. The author believes that the closer the air-conditioner is to the ceiling, the stronger the air-conditioning capacity of the room. As long as the ordinary wall-mounted air conditioner does not interfere with the installation operation of the air conditioner, it can be 10-15 cm from the ceiling. As far as possible, do not take long pipe lines. Whether it is a wall hanging machine or a cabinet machine, the machine itself is equipped with a corresponding connecting pipe, so this pipe should not be easily lengthened.


Air conditioning installation should be as high as possible

Regarding the location of the air conditioner, if it is in the bedroom, the most suitable location is directly above the headboard; in the living room or living room, the best location should also be directly above the location of the person. If the furnishings in the room affect the installation of air conditioners, then we should consider moving furniture and give priority to air conditioning as much as possible. If there is no way to get the best installation position, we can choose to install it in the diagonal direction of the door.

3 Refrigerator Installation Notes Back to Top

Refrigerator setting to ventilate

The placement of the refrigerator is also very stressful, because the refrigerator will produce a certain noise during operation, and often switch the refrigerator door will produce a lot of moisture, affecting the user's life.


Refrigerator display is also very particular about

Keep the refrigerator away from heat when placing it and avoid direct sunlight. Refrigerator should not be placed in poorly ventilated places. The most suitable place should be a kitchen, dining room or living room. If the ventilation of the kitchen is poor, it is not suitable to place a discharge refrigerator to avoid the water vapor and smoke on the refrigerator surface. Causes corrosion.


The distance between the back of the refrigerator and the wall should not be less than 5cm

When placed, the distance between the back of the refrigerator and the wall should not be less than 5cm to facilitate the normal operation of the compressor. In order to prevent the moisture generated by the refrigerator from intruding into other appliances and causing damage, refrigerators should be kept away from TVs, stereos, and other electrical appliances that are afraid of the tide.


Refrigerator four metal legs to flatten

The key to the installation of the refrigerator is to place the refrigerator. The refrigerator should be placed in a place with ventilation, sun protection, drying and away from heat sources. When installing, if the floor is not smooth and moist, thin metal sheets can be used instead of rubber pads. The four metal legs of the refrigerator have to play a supportive role and at the same time take on the role of a ground wire. Because the refrigerator generally stores foods with higher moisture content, the temperature in the refrigerator changes, the moisture evaporates, and the humidity in the refrigerator is very high, which can easily cause leakage of the refrigerator and generate induced current. If the legs of the refrigerator are in direct contact with the ground, The induced current can be introduced into the earth to increase the safety of the refrigerator. However, if a rubber pad is placed under the refrigerator and the rubber pad is an insulating object, current cannot flow into the earth. If the refrigerator leaks electricity, it is easy to cause electric shock.

Summary of the full text: Some of the above notes on the installation of home appliances, I believe many of my friends still understand, but do not rule out that there are still many users in this area there are some errors, please also understand the author's "bitterness", After all, life is precious, and the improper installation of some home appliances can endanger life.
