Are delivered correctly

Hello, Geektimes! We're going over the papers recently and found them terrible figures. Over the past year we had to cancel nearly 53 million (!) For the broken matrix LCD TVs. People take a box, do not check what's inside and how to fill up the car - and at home see it:

55,815,431



Since no box did not open up to the house - people return to us "defective" TV. Why so? Very often our compatriots strikingly indifferent to the markings on the packaging of the goods. Meanwhile, transportation and storage rules (and their corresponding markings, also called manipulation signs) invented not for beauty.

All these icons strictly follow from the design features and material properties of a cargo, its packaging, the center of gravity, flexural strength, and all that. And if in respect, for example, clothing, no one doubts that the marking of the "hand-wringing Only" or "40 degrees" on the label must be respected (otherwise, then your favorite blouse does that have to send rags), then for some reason, in respect of household appliances indifference reigns: What happened to the refrigerator or a TV? It's nothing to it will not be ...



How to transport the goods
Here, for example, all the same distressful TVs. On the box of any modern plasma or shirokoformatnika mandatory labeling to be "fragile" and "Top", often with accompanying inscriptions. Which mean, respectively, that the goods to be transported as a crystal vase, very carefully and only in a vertical position. But buyers put svezhepriobretennoy flat TVs in the trunk of a car (or even to an external trunk, the roof, in the rain, because the vertically 65 inches in the trunk will not thrust), and after the first "speed bump" (which is on the road with just about any parking shopping complex or store) receives a TV or cracked screen or plasma invisible damage - damage to the box can not even be, but by shaking protective foam TV can not be saved.

To save you time and money, we have compiled a small selection found on the packaging of household appliances and electronics icons with a brief explanation of what they mean. In the case of these icons is better not to ask, "Why so?", But simply to observe them.




« Fragile



« top



« temperature limit



"Protect from moisture". But to understand just difficult - it means that the product should be protected from flooding, and spray from the store in a highly humid places. Of course, it applies not only to water.




« Protect from sunlight





« Stacking prohibited



« Stacking limited



« The limit on the number of layers in the stack

This basic markings that will meet you on the packaging of electronics and household appliances. In total there are, of course, more - who are interested can learn the appropriate GOST e.

How to unzip and install the product
Dovezti purchase home safe and sound - only half the battle (also bulky and heavy loads you are likely to deliver the porters, who know exactly what and how to properly carry). Unpacked and ready to use home appliances and electronics, too, need to correct.



To begin with, if you drove the purchase of equipment at a sturdy winter frost on the street - not worth it, tore off her pack the house, immediately rush to include a novelty. It is possible freezing device will not turn on, it happens - and then you will panic and think that marriage is bought. Not necessary. Just be patient, let the equipment warms up to room temperature, and the precipitated condensate - evaporate.

Further, in the case of the washing machine, you should always remove their transit bolts (holding drum) before turning. Underline - always! Generally, a conscientious seller must inform you that a particular model has the bolts. Undeleted them before starting work in the best case just will not let you turn on the machine, and at worst - will ruin it. And breaking the letter of guarantee will be deemed your fault - so be sure to read before turning the suggested recommendations for the inclusion of the first device. It describes step by step instructions and some are marked "IMPORTANT!» ...



Sometimes, by the way, have the transit bolts and refrigerators - keep compressor. If they are not removed - must be rattling and vibration, which is not only delight your family and neighbors, but also reduce the service life of the refrigerator.

Yes, the question of refrigerators. If the refrigerator has experienced a long and difficult path to your door, at home you will have again a lot of patience - for at least 5 hours after setting it in place it should not be included. The fact that the coolant (Freon) must first blend in "credit default" position (during transport it splashed). Furthermore, the oil may fall into the cooling circuit - it requires the same, while the compressor is switched valve will not drain back to him. If you turn the refrigerator at who has fallen into the discharge oil circuit, the compressor motor will have to work without lubrication, which can lead to the need to replace it very soon. Incidentally, it is also recommended to choose a place for a refrigerator in such a way that behind him, near the coils, has provided the normal circulation of air.

Among frequent mistakes preparation techniques for use may be mentioned more, for example, the installation of a microwave oven near the TV in the kitchen. Believe me, no equipment would not be happy to incorporate магнетрона, even at 30 seconds.

We hope that now apply to the rules of transportation of the purchased equipment you will carefully. Be meticulous, do not hesitate to ask the sellers at the stage of choice of technology and electronics, explore the markings on the containers, carefully read the instructions before how will be going to include a new device - no problems, and 14 days to return equipment you do not need!

Thank you and see you soon!
