Storing food in the refrigerator section
43
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
remains spreadable and cheese so that
it retains its flavor.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator is
directly above the PerfectFresh Pro
zone dividing plate and at the back of
the appliance. The temperature in the
PerfectFresh Pro zone compartments is
even colder.
Use these areas in the refrigerator
section and in the PerfectFresh Pro
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
– Other fresh food (with a label stating
it should be kept at a temperature of
approximately 39°F (4°C))
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator
section
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 41°F (5°C)
because it is sensitive to cold.
Depending on the type of food, the
appearance, consistency, flavor, and/or
vitamin content may be altered if stored
at too cold a temperature.
Foods which are sensitive to cold
include:
– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits
such as lemons, oranges, mandarins,
grapefruits
– Fruit (which is not yet ripe)
– Eggplants, cucumbers, potatoes,
peppers, tomatoes, zucchini
– Hard cheeses (e.g., Parmesan)
