Tip:
Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tip:
Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
