After fermentation is complete.
Get it cold, mid-30s works for me. You can rack it to a secondary, or leave it in the primary.
As long as you want (can stand). The longer it sits the clearer it will get. Two weeks would be good, IMO.

I was wondering about this too - how long could you have it cold conditioning before you'd need to worry about adding extra yeast for bottling?

I've cold conditioned lagers at 33F for 100 days and didn't add any yeast...
