Detailed explanation-1: -The coldest part of the fridge should be between 0 degrees Celcius and 5 degrees Celcius (32 degrees Fahrenheit and 41 degrees Fahrenheit). You could use a probe thermometer to check if food is being kept hot (above 63 degrees Celcius) or cold (below 8 degrees Celcius).
Detailed explanation-2: -To keep your food fresh, we recommend that the ideal temperature for a fridge is 3°C to 5°C. To maintain this temperature, it is important to not have the appliance door open for extended periods.
Detailed explanation-3: -So what temperature is the right temperature? The Food Standards Agency advises household fridges to be set at 5 degrees Celsius or below. This is because harmful bacteria grow best in what is known as the ‘danger zone’ between 8 degrees and 63 degrees.
Detailed explanation-4: -But the temperature controls on many fridges only allow you to choose from a series of numbers, usually 1 through 5, with 1 being the coldest and 5 being the warmest.
