perfect. -18 is standard, but some machines use -20 or -21.

And well they might ;-). I've got a posh Bosch fridge and at the lowest
setting (2C according to the switch) it maintains about 2C at the bottom
and 7C at the top. A superb storage design, the compressor rarely seems
to kick in - but is this temperature difference typical?

The separate Bosch freezer stays at about -30C - that's at the default
mid-setting, and the temperature is pretty even throughout.

IIRC the recommended maximum for a fridge is 8C and a freezer -18C setting
them lower wastes energy and contributes to GW according to some. It
certainly costs more to run.
