Storing food in the refrigerator section
90
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator
section is in the top section of the door.
Use this for storing butter so that it re-
mains spreadable and cheese so that it
retains its flavor.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the fridge zone is di-
rectly above the MasterFresh zone and
at the back of the appliance. The tem-
perature in the dry compartment of the
MasterFresh zone is even colder.
Use this area in the fridge zone and in
the dry compartment of the Master-
Fresh zone for all delicate and highly
perishable food, e.g.:
- fish, meat, poultry
- cold cuts, ready-made meals
- dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
- fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza
dough, or pie dough
- raw milk cheese and other raw milk
products
- pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food with a best-before date
that requires storage at a temperature
of at least 39°F (4°C)
Tip:
This compartment is ideal for all
home-cooked meals as any micro-
organisms that may still be present can-
not multiply.
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the fridge zone
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 40°F (5°C) be-
cause it is sensitive to cold.
Foods which are sensitive to cold in-
clude:
- pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits
such as lemons, oranges, mandarins,
grapefruits
- fruit (which is not yet ripe)
- eggplant, cucumbers, potatoes, pep-
pers, tomatoes, zucchini
- hard cheeses (e.g., Parmesan)
