I aquired an older standup 16 qf freezer. I have the temp steady at

Here in the UK -18C is the recommended 'ideal' temperature for a freezer.

That's 0 degrees Fahrenheit (more or less!)

I recall about the same in USA for freezer chest. For frost free
refrigerator freezer section, closer to freezing point of water because
of frost free cycling.

The fridge I have on my narrowboat has a small freezer section within
it. I think you are probably correct when suggesting that the operating
temperature of THAT freezer section is probably just a little under 0
degrees Celsius (32F). Frozen food isn't stored there for very long!
