English term or phrase: graphic bar
Aus einem in schlechtem Englisch verfassten Handbuch eines Kühlschrankes: To set the refrigerator compartment to 5 graphic bar will be enough for normal conditions. Was ist hier unter graphic bar gemeint? Dass der Thermostat auf 5 gestellt wird?

dial position


Explanation:
These rotary selector switches (or knobs) are usually made up of some kind of pointer and dial contraption, e.g. a pointer (or mark) on the knob, and some kind of color markings (bars) as dial (1 to 5, for example).
At least that's what this "ugit thingamebob" looks like in my fridge. Have a look at yours. :=))
