Climate class:

Climate class is defined based on the test carried out for the energy consumption when operating the product. That is that the product has been tested to operate within an ambient temperature from e.g., 10°C - 32°C at climate class SN and uses the energy consumption that the energy label states. This means that the manufacturer must guarantee that the energy class and energy consumption match the information on the energy label if it is tested by authorities within the specified room temperature/climate class (SN).

Climate class also provides guidance on which environment the product can stand in. If the product is intended for a subtropical environment with very long and hot summers like in Spain, it will require a different compressor and climate class (T) than if placed in Denmark.

Room temperature down to -15°C:

Most of our freezers and some of our chest freezer have a compressor with the technology do develop heat, which thus ensures that the oil does not harden/clump at cold temperatures. Therefore, the models can stand in room temperatures down to -15°C. However, it is important to note that the product has a different energy consumption than the tested consumption for climate class SN. So, when the product is set at a different temperature than the climate class prescribes, the energy consumption is no longer in accordance with the energy label.

Climate class and temperature

As the table below shows, there is no climate class that covers down to -15°C

Climate Class	Ambient temperature
N	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
SN-ST	from +10°C to +38°C
SN-T	from +10°C to +43°C
ST	from +18°C to +38°C
T	from +18°C to +43°C
