What happens if I use my freezer below -15C? (lemmy.world)

I have a chest freezer that has operating temperatures down to -15C. I want to leave it on the balcony, which has a roof and it is shielded from the elements. But for shorter periods of the year we get weather colder than -15C.

Will it damage the freezer? Will the freezer just stop running temporarily? If the ambient temperature is -20 and the inside is -5-10C then atleast it won't get hotter, so the food won't spoil if it gets colder inside.

Edit: I could connect a smart plug and disconnect it if below -15, if that would help

Pretty sure my fridge freeze combo, with freezer on the bottom had a freezer temp defaulted to -18. So maybe it's within operating parameters?

OP is asking about ambient temperatures below -15°C.

I recently bought a cheese freezer which had the exact same specification listed as a feature. I considered keeping mine in the garage that I keep around 7-10°C in the winter.

How much cheese do you have???

[–] PetteriPano@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Lol 🙃

That was supposed to be chest freezer. Thanks for the laugh auto-correct!

I usually don't freeze cheese, but I did do it on some longer sailing voyages in an earlier life.

Oh shit, I completely missed that, thank you.
