The temp setting in a kitchen refrigerator is a knob with numbers 1 -10

It is labeled "Temperature Control"

Next to 1 it says "min"
Next to 10 it says "max"

Which setting will make it the coldest?

@futurebird The proper temperature setting of a refrigerator is 5 degrees C. "Temperature Control" clearly determines how precisely this value is kept, the stiffness of the thermostat. The long-term mean temperature is not affected by the knob, just how much it wiggles around it.

I'll let myself out

@martinvermeer @futurebird Correct for a "one size fits all" fridge.
Wrong for a "cold box to store stuff in".
Good idea for an extra "cooling mode" switch in the back.
