at what temperature should a refrigerator be maintained
Average temperature of a refrigerator is 35 - 38 degrees and -18 Â°C (0 Â°F) for the freezer. A household refrigerator should be maintained between 34 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit-just above freezing to maintain food quality but low enough to inhibit bacterial growth.Ideally your refrigerator should be at the correct temperature (less than 4Â°C). When the fridge is very full, turn thermostat to Colder setting.reezer temperature should be maintained at minus 18Â°C. (Ice cream is a good indicator of freezer temperature: it should be firm.) Consult your fridge manufacturer's manual for advise on temperature control. Try not to keep opening the fridge door every few minutes.
