2 Preventing material
damage
ATTENTION!
The high weight of the appliance or,
if not rolling freely, the appliance's
castors may damage the floor when
the appliance is moved.
▶ Transport the appliance using a
sack truck.
▶ Use floor protection when moving
the appliance, and do not move it
in a zigzag fashion.
When the appliance door is closed,
an open door pillar may damage the
appliance.
▶ Never open the door pillar manu-
ally.
▶ If the door pillar has been opened,
close it before closing the appli-
ance door.
Using the base, runners or appliance
doors as a seat surface or climbing
surface may damage the appliance.
▶ Do not stand or support yourself
on the base, runners or doors.
Contamination with oil or fat may
cause plastic parts and door seals to
become porous.
▶ Keep plastic parts and door seals
free of oil and grease.
Metal or metal-style parts in the appli-
ance may contain aluminium. Alu-
minium reacts when it comes into
contact with acidic foods.
▶ Do not store unpackaged food in
the appliance.
3 Environmental protec-
tion and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environ-
mentally compatible and can be re-
cycled.
▶ Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ-
ately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less power.
Selecting the installation location
¡ Keep the appliance out of direct
sunlight.
¡ Install the appliance as far away as
possible from heating elements,
cookers and other heat sources:
– Maintain a 30mm clearance to
electric or gas cookers.

oil or solid-fuel cookers.
¡ Never cover or block the external
ventilation openings.
Saving energy during use
Note:The arrangement of the fittings
does not affect the energy consump-
tion of the appliance.
¡ Open the appliance only briefly
and then close it carefully.
¡ Never cover or block the interior
ventilation openings or the exterior
ventilation openings.

The features of your appliance de-
pend on the model.
6.1 Shelf
To vary the shelf as required, you
can remove the shelf and re-insert it
elsewhere.
→"Removing the shelf", Page24
6.2 Storage container
The temperatures in the storage con-
tainer are lower than in the refriger-
ator compartment. Temperatures be-
low 0°C may occur occasionally.
In order to reach temperatures close
to 0 °C in the storage container, set
the refrigerator compartment temper-
ature to 2 °C. →Page16
Use the lower temperatures in the
storage container to store highly per-
ishable food, e.g. fish, meat and
sausages.
6.3 Fruit and vegetable con-
tainer with humidity con-
trol
Store fresh fruit and vegetables loose
in the fruit and vegetable container.
Cover any chopped fruit and veget-
ables, or store in air-tight packaging.
You can adjust the humidity in the
fruit and vegetable container using
the humidity controller. This allows
fresh fruit and vegetables to be
stored for longer than with conven-
tional storage.
Features en
15
The air humidity in the fruit and
vegetable container can be set
according to the type and amount of
food to be stored by moving the
humidity control:
¡ Low humidity required when
primarily storing fruit or mixed
items, or if the appliance is very
full.
¡ High humidity required when
primarily storing vegetables or
when the appliance is not very full.
Condensation may form in the fruit
and vegetable container depending
on the food and quantity stored.
Remove the condensation with a dry
cloth and adjust the air humidity in
the vegetable container using the hu-
midity controller.
To ensure that the quality and aroma
are retained, store fruit and veget-
ables that are sensitive to cold out-
side of the appliance at temperatures
of approx. 8°C to 12°C, e.g. pine-
apple, bananas, citrus fruits, cucum-
bers, courgettes, peppers, tomatoes
and potatoes.
6.4 Butter and cheese com-
partment
Store butter and hard cheese in the
butter and cheese compartment.
6.5 Door rack
To adjust the door racks as required,
you can remove the door rack and
re-insert elsewhere.
→"Removing door rack", Page24

10.6 Data protection
Please see the information on data
protection.
The first time your appliance is
registered on a home network
connected to the Internet, your
appliance will transmit the following
types of data to the HomeConnect
server (initial registration):
¡ Unique appliance identification
(consisting of appliance codes as
well as the MAC address of the
Wi-Fi communication module in-
stalled).
¡ Security certificate of the Wi-Fi
communication module (to ensure
a secure data connection).
¡ The current software and hardware
version of your appliance.
¡ Status of any previous reset to
factory settings.
This initial registration prepares the
HomeConnect functions for use and
is only required when you want to
use the HomeConnect functions for
the first time.
Note:Please note that the
HomeConnect functions can only be
utilised with the HomeConnect app.
Information on data protection can be
retrieved in the HomeConnect app.
11 Refrigerator compart-
ment
You can keep meat, sausage, fish,
dairy products, eggs, prepared meals
and pastries in the refrigerator com-
partment.
The temperature can be set from
2°C to 8°C.
The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perish-
able foods in the short to medium
term. The lower the selected temper-
ature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
11.1 Tips for storing food in
the refrigerator compart-
ment
¡ Only store food when fresh and
undamaged.
¡ Store food covered or in air-tight
packaging.
¡ To avoid impeding the circulation
of air and to prevent food from
freezing, do not place food directly
against the back wall.
¡ Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down first before placing in the ap-
pliance.
¡ Observe the best-before date or
use-by date specified by the manu-
facturer.
11.2 Chill zones in the refri-
gerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is in the storage
container.
Tip:Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tip:Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
en Freezer compartment
22
12 Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food, freeze
food and make ice cubes in the
freezer compartment.
The temperature can be set from
−16°C to −24°C.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18°C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.
12.1 Freezing capacity
The freezing capacity indicates the
quantity of food that can be frozen
right through to the centre within a
specific period of time.
Information on freezing capacity can
be found on the rating plate. →"Appli-
ance", Fig. 1 /
4
, Page13
Prerequisites for freezing capacity
1. When placing fresh food in the ap-
pliance, switch on Super freezing.
→"Switching on Super freezing",
Page17
2. Place food in the top frozen food
container first.
12.2 Fully utilising the freezer
compartment volume
Learn how to store the maximum
amount of frozen food in the freezer
compartment.

compartment. →Page24
2. Stack food directly on the floor of
the freezer compartment.
12.3 Tips for storing food in
the freezer compartment
¡ Store food in air-tight packaging.
¡ Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen
food.
¡ Place thefood over thewhole area
ofthefrozen food containers.
¡ To quickly and gently freeze larger
quantities of fresh food, place this
in the top frozen food container.
¡ To ensure that the air can circulate
freely in the appliance, push the
frozen food containers in as far as
they will go.
12.4 Tips for freezing fresh
food
¡ Freeze fresh and undamaged food
only.
¡ Freeze food in portions.
¡ Cooked food is more suitable than
food that can be eaten raw.
¡ Vegetables: Wash, chop up and
blanch before freezing.
¡ Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel,
possibly add sugar or ascorbic
acid solution.
¡ Food that is suitable for freezing in-
cludes baked items, fish and sea-
food, meat, game, poultry, eggs
without shells, cheese, butter and
quark, ready meals and leftovers.
¡ Food that is unsuitable for freezing
includes lettuce, radishes, eggs in
shells, grapes, raw apples and
pears, yoghurt, sour cream, crème
fraîche and mayonnaise.
Packing frozen food
If you select suitable packaging ma-
terial and the correct type of pack-
aging, you can determine the product
quality and prevent freezer burn.
1. Place the food in the packaging.
2. Squeeze out the air.
3. Pack food airtight to prevent it
from losing flavour and drying out.
4. Label the packaging with the con-
tents and the date of freezing.
