One star freezer compartment
One star freezer compartment
Reaches −6 °C. Store already-frozen food for about a week.
★
What it looks like
A single star on the door or inside the ice-box compartment of a fridge.
What it means
The star ratings describe storage temperature and nothing else, and one star is the small ice-box in a fridge rather than a freezer. Food does not spoil at −6 °C but the quality degrades quickly, so the stated storage time is about a week. None of the one-, two- or three-star compartments can freeze fresh food safely: freezing slowly forms large ice crystals that rupture cell walls, and the food is watery and soft when it thaws.
Defined by ISO 8561 / EN 62552 household refrigerating appliances. Where a symbol differs between standards, the difference is described above rather than resolved — both versions are in circulation on real labels.
