We tryOptimum temperature range for perishable food storage is 3 to keep our fridge at 6°C, but5 °C (37 to 41 °F).
I've noticed that there are differences in temperature inside the fridge. I think the top is a bit more colder than the bottom, I don't really know why. I keep my lettuce and tomatoes in the bottom, otherwise they'll be a bit frozen (like zanlok said).
So things that'll go bad fast (e.g. meat) go in the top.
Another thing (which I learned on House M.D.): don't put your milk in the door. The temperature there is more fluctuating so the milk becomes sour more rapidly than if you'd put it inside the fridge.
