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?

Just terrible labels.

One way you can sometimes tell is when turning the dial if you hear a click and then the compressor kicks on. What ever way you were turning it makes it colder.

At least on one fridge I've seen, they labeled it colder warmer iirc. That was definitely more useful.

Certainly ambiguous but i guess they expect you to know intuitively that min max refer to amount of cooling rather than the temperature.
