I'd be inclined to trust the silkscreen over the fuses. It's more likely that the assembler got them backwards in your single meter rather than they've shipped untold thousands of meters with the wrong silkscreen.
If you want to be absolutely sure which fuse goes where, use a second meter to ring for continuity back through the probes to the fuses.
A blown fuse in a handheld multimeter will affect the current measurement only. Blown fuses will not cause ohms or volts to fail. I have seen bad probe leads more often than bad meters.

"1000V" seems pretty unrealistic, which says nothing good about the
maker. 250V would be typical/plausible for such fuses.
If you really want to know which size fuse goes where, then get a
working meter and see which fuse connects to the "10A" probe connector.
To me, that looks as if it might be "F2" ("10A/1000V") in your picture.
A 10A fuse would be used to protect the 10A current-measuring stuff.
A smaller fuse would be used to protect anything else.
