Storing food in the refrigerator section 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 section is directly above the fruit and vegetable drawer and at the back of the appliance. The temperature in the dry compartment of the MastertFresh zone is even colder. Use this area in the refrigerator section and in the dry compartment of the MasterFresh 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 40°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) 86
