Considering the target temp for a freezer is -18oC, it seems an odd

around 5oc.

Interesting FAQ answers at:

"Climate class
This is the room temperature that the fridge freezer can operate in. The
most common classes in the UK are N class which means it should be in a
room with a minimum temperature of 16°C and a maximum temperature of
32°C. SN models can cope in temperatures between 10°C and 32°C. Other
classes are ST and T which operates best at a minimum temperature of 18°C
and a maximum of 38°C and 43°C respectively."

"Can I keep a fridge-freezer in a garage?

All fridge free freezers have a climate class which tells you the minimum
and maximum room temperature they should be placed in to work properly.
For most models the minimum temperature is 10°C and most sheds and
garages are colder than this in winter. When the temperature is lower
than this, the fridge freezer will use more energy to maintain the right
temperature. If it is kept in an out building and it does break down, it
may not be covered by the guarantee. Chest freezers are better suited to
outdoor houses as they are double insulated."

Note:
...When the temperature is lower than this, the fridge freezer will
use more energy to maintain the right temperature.

Uh? But it does NOT maintain the (-18oC) temperature..


If it is kept in an out building and it does break down,
it may not be covered by the guarantee.

How can that be justified?!
