What does the red light switch do on fridge/freezer?

I have a bosch classixx fridge freezer I bought of second hand, It didn't come with a manual, I have a switch that turns a red light on or off, I am wondering what way it should be on or off?

    Use google and search for the manual for your make and model.

    I think most of the time a red light would be a power light. What happens when you turn it off? Does the light still come on when the door is opened?

    It could be a 'quick freeze' feature. My freezer has one except it's a slidy switch.

    I think the red light is generally the fast freeze option and it's a green light to indicate that the power is on.

    ..that's how it works on my freezer, anyway.

    I thought the red light indicated de-frost mode was switched on.

    Put your model number in here for the instruction manual. You have to follow the link.

    It's probably somewhere inside your fridge freezer. Maybe down bottom left? I have a Bosch fridge and a Bosch freezer, and that's where the plate showing the model number is located in both of them. You'll probably have to take out a storage drawer to see it, though.

    See the Fridges & Freezers section of this page:

    http://www.espares.co.uk/findingmodelnumbers.aspx#a3

    It includes this:
    Fridges & Freezers

    In a fridge, or fridge-freezer, the rating plate is usually on the fridge inner walls, often it's hidden at the bottom (to the left side) of the salad compartments and only accessible with the compartments removed. If you can't find it there, it may be on the outside of the casing or lastly try the back.

    Freezers - usually at the very bottom of the inside of the freezer compartment. Again, if it can't be found inside, try the sides and the back.
    There are diagrams on that page showing likely locations for the plate.
