Question

Using a hotel refrigerator, with a temperature setting dial that is confusing. The setting of turned all the way to the left is "high"; the setting if turned all the way to the right is "low". So, which is the colder setting?

Answer 1

In the case of the confusing temperature setting dial on your hotel refrigerator, where turning it all the way to the left indicates "high" and turning it all the way to the right indicates "low," it can be a bit counterintuitive. However, the colder setting would be turning the dial all the way to the right, to the "low" position.

Typically, refrigerators use a higher numerical value or a word indicating "high" to represent a colder setting. However, in this specific case, the manufacturer of the refrigerator seems to have used a reverse labeling system. Therefore, to achieve the coldest temperature, you should turn the dial all the way to the right, aligning it with the "low" position.

If you have any doubts or concerns, it would be a good idea to contact the hotel staff for clarification or assistance in setting the refrigerator to the desired temperature.
