11.2 Chill zones in the refrigerator
compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates
different chill zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the pull-out container.
Tip: Store highly perishable food such as fish, sausages
and meat in the cool-fresh compartment.
→ "Cool-fresh compartment", Page 19
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Tip: Store groceries that do not spoil easily in the warmest
zone, e.g. hard cheese and butter. Cheese can then con-
tinue to release its flavor and the butter will still be easy to
spread.
