Narrative:
Shortly after departure [ATC] told us to level off at 14;000 feet. Just after leveling off we had complete failure of the left engine (in IMC and active icing). Once the captain had control of the aircraft; I notified ATC and requested vectors back to the field. At this time the captain transferred controls to me so the captain could run the QRH. I then requested delay vectors for the ILS. The captain ran through the procedure and finished the brief. Once complete we then requested and proceeded on the ILS approach. As we neared the final approach fix the captain asked for flaps 8; 20; 30 and 45 before landing check. At about this time I asked if we should use flaps 20 only. The captain stated 'no we will use flaps 45'. We then continued to a successful single engine landing and taxi to the gate.due to a difficult single engine failure in IMC; active icing and mountainous terrain the QRH procedure may have been rushed resulting in missing the single engine flap setting importance in the QRH. I think during the QRH procedure there may have also been a distraction (possibly ATC) and rushing that caused the captain to overlook the flap setting procedure on approach. The QRH procedure could have been slowed down and more carefully reviewed and briefed before the approach. However due to active icing conditions in IMC we could not linger too long in a hold.
