The door guard for freezer is the two star section so the temperature is slightly higher than the other freezer compartments

**
Explanation:
The same star rating system is used in France for frozen food compartments — ** means you can't keep stuff for very long in it, and it's not suitable for freezing stuff down.

By the way, the EN in your source text there looks decidedly dodgy, so I'd watch out if I were you for possible errors!
