Four star freezer — freezes fresh food
Four star freezer — freezes fresh food
Reaches −18 °C or colder and can freeze fresh food from room temperature.
★★★★
What it looks like
Four stars, often drawn as one larger star followed by three smaller ones.
What it means
The extra star is a capacity rating, not a colder temperature: the compartment can pull a stated weight of fresh food down to −18 °C within 24 hours. Freezing fast matters because small ice crystals do less damage to cell walls, which is why quickly frozen food thaws firm rather than mushy. The larger-star-plus-three drawing is deliberate — it distinguishes a true freezing compartment from a three-star storage one at a glance.
Defined by ISO 8561 / EN 62552. Where a symbol differs between standards, the difference is described above rather than resolved — both versions are in circulation on real labels.
