Not possible given that the number of kWHs depends

when its kept in the kitchen of a place well heated in

But ALL manufactures would test them in a way that gives the best
figures. They may not be real world figures but it forms a basis of
comparing one unit against another.

With a fridge/freezer there is possibly little scope of fiddling the
figures in the same way are car manufacturers do so by reducing the
weight of the car during testing by removing seats, spare wheel, radio,
extras etc.
