Changes for refrigerators and freezers

Environmentally-friendly cooling

Environmentally-friendly cooling With the introduction of the new energy consumption labelling, our most energy-efficient single-door refrigerators and some of our double-door appliances have achieved energy efficiency class C.

The procedure for determining the energy rating for refrigerators and freezers is now more extensive. The type of appliance, its functional principle, the room temperature and the number and size of the storage compartments are now all taken into account. The other elements of the new energy label remain largely unchanged.

The energy consumption is still stated as an annual figure in kWh. The label also provides information about the total usable capacity of all refrigerator compartments and, if applicable, freezer compartments as well as the noise emissions and noise emission class. The new minimum requirement for refrigerators and freezers is efficiency class F in the EU and E in Switzerland, with the exception of single-door appliances with an internal freezer compartment, where F also applies.

1. QR code (if model is also sold in the EU) for further details about the appliance 2. Energy efficiency rating 3. Energy consumption in kWh/year (measured under new standard conditions) 4. "Chilled volume" in the freezing zone 5. "Chilled volume" in the refrigerating zone 6. Noise emissions, expressed in dB(A) re 1 pW, and noise emission rating
