It's an unknown Frigidaire freezer. It has recently decided to stop freezing food properly, which has left my Haagen Daz in a precarious position. I think I might have pushed one of these switches by accident, but it's hardly clear what they do. If I move the left switch to the right, the other two lights go off. Does anyone have a clue how to operate this damn thing?
That looks like me Mam's old freezer. I think that one setting means "freeze" and the other means "fast freeze", which YOU MUSTN'T TOUCH.
Oh dear. What happens if I do fast freeze, and which is which??
That green light doesn't look like it's on. Which is probably bad.
Green doesn't come on no matter what I do. If I move the right switch all the way to the right the red and yellow come on and it starts making a noise.

Noise may be good as it could be the compressor starting up which means the freezer will start to cool.
Does it sound like a compressor starting up? A mechanic fridge type noise as opposed to mechanical death or something?
If it is a fridge type noise, keep a close eye on it.
I am just guessing mind. Your house and food may be a risk if you listen to me.
Chinny has said pretty much what I was going to say. Namely experiment with the switches to see what they do - a thermometer would help.

Green may only come on when the fridge reaches the correct temp.
Anyway, off to bed. Hopefully I'll wake up in the morning to hear that all your ice cream is fully frozen again.
You see, I'd just take the opportunity to eat the whole tub. Excuse "It was going to go manky, so I ate it before it did"
I used to use this excuse alot. Until I came up with "I'm a fat chuff and I wanted to eat 2 litres of ice cream"

I ate two pizzas today, one of them a large Domino's. People keep calling me skinny, and it irritates me.
Mmm, I do like pizza. And again everyone accuses me of being fat because I can usually eat a large pizza without any help.
(I weigh 55 kilos, and IIRC 6 kilos of that is fat. I am in no way, shape or form fat.)

He is, in fact, the complete opposite.

Crikey. Good look in the National tomorrow.
Blimey. I weigh 70kg (5'10), and people call me skinny. I am, mind.
This reminds me of my nanny's freezer. I'm fairly confident that you leave it as it is, as any other setting is just fast freeze, which as everyone has said, is bad.

are you like 4 foot tall or something
Why is fast-freeze so bad, and why do they have it as an option?
I have the physique of a pregnant pig, but can barely even eat a sandwich in one go, without being horribly full.
I have decided that Mr. Dave is my nemesis.

I think, errr, if you leave it on too long it creates far too much ice.

"Myoptika! We told you to use Fast Freeze sparingly!"
When I was (very) young and I first heard about global warming and polar icecaps melting, I did wonder why we didn't just put a load of freezers in the arctic to help keep it cold. Again, I was young.
No leccy up there dumbass, the explorers should always remember to close the door though.

Look, it's hereditary knowledge. Don't question it.

No 5'11".
Always been thin and my metabolism has seen to it that I've never even reached any more than 9 and a half stone, and recent stress has caused quite a bit of weight loss.

Loser.
I'm thin as a rake and I pack away tonnes of food (when available). I once ate 16 slices in a Pizza Hut challange.
I could however drink or smoke you under the table, Pod

You probably could. But, y'see, you therefore waste more money on it. The vast amounts of money I save on beer I spend on MORE food.
It's a positive feedback cycle. I get more happy; you get more sad (and drunk)!
