STAR RATINGS<\/h1>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\nThe Energy Rating Label is a mandatory comparative energy label. It shows you the energy performance information on a range of appliances and allows you to compare similar appliance models through a star rating of between one and ten stars. It also shows the annual energy consumption in Kilowatt Hours.
