Climate classes and correct ambient temperature
All refrigerators/freezers are designed to stand in a certain climate class. Set it up in a place where the ambient temperature corresponds to the product's climate class, which is indicated on the type plate.
During operation in a temperature range other than the specified climate class, the product may not be able to maintain the desired temperatures or be fully functional.
Climate Class |

from +16°C to +32°C |
N-ST |
from +16°C to +32°C |
N-T |
from +16°C to +43°C |
SN |
from +10°C to +32°C |

Climate classes for professional freezers and coolers
Commercial refrigerators/freezers have their own climate classes that are different from those that apply to household refrigerators/freezers. The climate class refers to the temperature at which the product is intended to operate.
Climate class 3
This means that the product has been developed for use in environments where the temperature can be up to +25°C / 60%RH.
Climate class 4
This means that the product has been developed for use in environments where the temperature can be up to +30°C / 55%RH.
Climate class 5
This means that the product has been developed for use in environments where the temperature can be up to +40°C / 60%RH, as can be experienced during peak loads in a professional kitchen.
Climate class 6
This means that the product has been developed for use in environments where the temperature can be up to +27°C / 70%RH.
Climate class 7
This means that the product has been developed for use in environments where the temperature can be up to +35°C / 70%RH.
