The first time your appliance is re-
gistered on a home network connec-
ted to the Internet, your appliance will
transmit the following types of data to
the HomeConnect server (initial re-
gistration):
Unique appliance identification
(consisting of appliance codes as
well as the MAC address of the in-
stalled Wi-Fi communication mod-
ule).
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 resetting to

utilised with the HomeConnect app.
Information on data protection can be
retrieved in the HomeConnect app.
Refrigerator compartment11 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 so that
it has direct contact with 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 refriger-
ator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment creates different chill
zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is between the ar-
row stamped on the side and the
shelf underneath.
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.
11.3 "OK" sticker
The "OK" sticker lets you check
whether the refrigerator compartment
reaches the safe temperature ranges
of +4°C or colder recommended for
food.
The "OK" sticker is not included with
all models.
If the sticker does not indicate "OK",
gradually reduce the temperature.
"Setting the refrigerator compart-
ment temperature", Page14
Once the appliance is switched on, it
may take up to 12hours until the set
temperature is reached.

Freezer compartment12 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.
19
en Freezer compartment
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.

frozen into contact with frozen
food.
Place thefood over thewhole area
ofthefrozen food containers.
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.

CAUTION
Risk of harm to health!
During the thawing process, bacteria
may multiply and spoil the frozen
food.
Do not refreeze food after it has
been defrosted or started to de-
frost.
Refreeze food only after cooking.
These items should no longer be
stored for the maximum storage
period.
Defrost animal-based food, such
as fish, meat, cheese, quark, in the
refrigerator compartment.
Defrost bread at room temperat-
ure.
Prepare food for immediate con-
sumption in the microwave, in the
oven, or on the hob.
Defrosting13 Defrosting
13.1 Defrosting in the refriger-
ator compartment
When the appliance is operating,
condensation droplets or frost form
on the rear panel of the refrigerator
compartment due to functional reas-
ons. The back panel in the refriger-
ator compartment defrosts automatic-
ally.
Condensation runs through the con-
densation channel into the drainage
hole to the evaporation pan and does
not have to be wiped away.
To ensure that the condensation can
drain and odours do not form, ob-
serve the following information:
