Dumb question about refrigerator temperature?

Question

Ok, so this is probably a really stupid question but I have one of those neat little "mini" fridges in my room, and I just bought some icecream bars today (you have to splurge every once in awhile, lol" but I'm not sure my fridge is cold enough to be able to handle icecream and I hope I can get a good answer soon before it decides to melt on me.

Anyway, it's soooo complicated. There's a knob in the fridge with a little red button in the center and around the knob is a blue line. The blue line going from left to right counter clockwise goes from a thick blue line to a very slim blue line...but I can't figure out if the thick end means how warm the fridge will be or how how strong the cooling temperature will be, or if the skinny end means very cold or very weak cooling temperature. Anyone who has a fridge like this PLEASE help me. My icecream depends on your help! lol. Thanks! :)

The thicker end of the line means colder, and the thinner means less cold.

However i'm pretty sure that since it's just a fridge, your ice cream bars won't stay frozen, no matter how cold you have it set to. I tried it once with an ice cream cake = P

The thicker the blue line, the colder the fridge and freezer will be. Try it at about 2/3 up from the skinny and go from there. Careful it doesn't freeze your food in the fridge. Hope this helps.

Ok everywhere i have seen a thermostat, the setting is clockwise it increases teh work that needs to be done. So if its a heater turning the knob clockwise will make it to heat up more and increase in temp. 
But in the case of a refrigerator, turning it clockwise will it to cool more resulting in lower temp.

So turn clockwise (turn it right )to lower the temp in your refrigerator.
