Answers:
It should stand for a while if it has been lying on its side!. Otherwise I wouldn't bother waiting that long!. I bought a new one a few weeks ago and the food was in it within 4 hours and I'm still alive!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You should let the unit run for a minimum of 15 hours, better to let it go for a full 24 before placing any foods into the freezer!. This way you know the food will be safe and will freeze quickly, and you won't be straining the resources of the machine while it's trying to cool itself AND the food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Do it gradually!. Wait for a while, then first put in the food that will defrost quickest, followed by that which will defrost next quickest etc, until it is filled!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i personally have never stuck to this, i have put food in after an hour or so, with no bad affects, but if your concerned, leave it overnight!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I was advised by the men who installed mine to wait 24 hours!. As the freezer needs time to adjust itself !. But he did add that if I was desperate to just wait 6 hoursWww@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on the freezer, but usually a day!. Will you still be at home this time tomorrow!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Put a container of water in!. When that's frozen you should be OK!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

24 hrs !. and then test it with term!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
