Storing food in the refrigerator section
24
Warmest area
The warmest area in the refrigerator
section is at the top in the front area
and in the door. Use this for storing but-
ter and cheese.
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator sec-
tion is directly above the fruit and ve-
getable drawer and at the back of the
appliance.
Use these areas to store all delicate and
highly perishable food such as:
– Fish, meat, poultry
– Cold cuts, ready meals
– Dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream
– Fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
quiche 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
approx. 4 °C)
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator sec-
tion
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 5 °C, because it
may be sensitive to cold. Depending on
the type of food, the appearance, con-
sistency, flavour and/or vitamin content
may be altered if stored at too cold a
temperature.
Foods which are sensitive to cold in-
clude:
– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passionfruit, citrus fruits
such as lemons, oranges, mandarins,
grapefruits
– Fruit (which is not yet ripe)
– Aubergines, cucumbers, potatoes,
peppers, tomatoes, courgettes
– Hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan, moun-
tain cheese)
