For most Irish HACCP kitchens, a sensible starting point for a commercial upright freezer is:

Temperature set point: -18°C (common target for frozen storage).

High-temperature alarm threshold: set it so it warns you before food safety is at risk, but does not nuisance-alarm during normal door openings. In practice, many kitchens use a high alarm somewhere above -18°C (for example, in the -12°C to -15°C region) depending on how the unit is used.

Alarm delay (time before the alarm triggers): use a delay that allows normal pull-down after start-up, defrost, or loading, typically tens of minutes rather than minutes. If you are commissioning from warm, it can be helpful to use a longer delay for day one, then tighten it once the cabinet is stable.

Because controller models and parameter names can vary across the Unifrost upright freezer range, treat the above as an operational baseline and confirm the exact parameter values and ranges in the controller manual for your F410SS / F410SSOG before locking in a site standard.
