Information on data protection
The first time your Home Connect appliance is
registered on the WLAN network connected to the
Internet, your appliance will transmit the following
types of data to the Home Connect server (initial
registration):
■ Unique appliance identification (consisting of
appliance codes as well as the MAC address of
the installed Wi-Fi communication module).
■ Security certificate of the WiFi communication
module (to ensure a secure data connection).
■ The current software and hardware version of
your domestic appliance.
■ Status of any previous resetting to factory
settings.
This initial registration prepares the Home
Connect functions for use and is only required when
you want to use these Home Connect functions for
the first time.
Note: Please note that the Home Connect functions
can only be utilized with the Home Connect app.
Information on data protection can be called up in
the Home Connect app.
Note when storing food
■ Store fresh, undamaged food.
The quality and freshness will then be retained for
longer.
■ In the case of convenience products and bottled
goods, do not exceed the minimum sell-by date
or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
■ To retain aroma, color and freshness, pack
or cover food well before placing it into the
appliance.
This will prevent flavors being transferred
between foods and the plastic parts from
becoming discolored.
■ Leave warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing them into the refrigerator compartment.
Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones.
Coldest zone
The coldest zone is on the partition and in the
storage area for large bottles.
URefrigerator
compartment
Refr i ger at or compart ment
The refrigerator compartment is suitable for storing
dairy products, eggs, cooked meals, pastries,
preserves once opened, and hard cheese.
The temperature can be set to anywhere between
36°F and 43°F (+2°C and +6°C).
The refrigerator compartment can also be used to
store highly perishable groceries in the short to
medium term. A temperature of +39°F (+4°C) or
lower ensures optimum freshness and hygiene of
the stored groceries.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Notes
■ Store items such as hard cheese and butter in
the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue
to release its flavor, and butter will remain
spreadable.
■ Store delicate foods such as fish, sausages, and
meat in the cool-fresh compartment. ~ "Cool-
fresh compartment" on page 18

en-us Cool-fresh compartment
TCool-fresh compartment
Cool-fresh compar t ment
The temperature in the cool-fresh compartment is
kept at around 32°F (0°C).
The low temperature and the optimum moisture
provide ideal storage conditions for fresh food.
With cool-fresh storage, you can keep fresh
foodstuffs fresh for up to three times longer than in
the refrigerator compartment – for even longer
freshness and nutrient retention, and improved
flavor.
Vegetable container
The vegetable container is the optimum storage
location for fresh fruit and vegetables. You can
adjust the humidity in the vegetable container via the
division plate's humidity controller and a special
seal.
The humidity in the vegetable container can be set
according to the type and quantity of products to be
stored:
■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – set lower
air humidity
■ Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed or small
load – set higher air humidity
Notes
■ Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana,
papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive
to cold (e.g. eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be
stored outside of the appliance at temperatures
of approx. +46°F ... +54°F (+8°C ... +12°C) for
optimum preservation of quality and aroma.
■ Condensation may form in the vegetable
container depending on the type and quantity of
products stored.
Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air
humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity
controller.
Cool-fresh bin
The storage climate in the cool-fresh container offers
ideal conditions for the storage of fish, meat and
sausage.
Storage times at 32 °F (0 °C)
Storage times are dependent on the original quality.
Fresh fish, seafood: up to 3 days
Poultry, meat (cooked/fried): up to 5 days
Beef, pork, lamb, sausage (cold meat): up to 7 days
Smoked fish, broccoli: up to 14 days

WFreezer compartment
Fr e ez er compart ment
The freezer compartment is suitable for:
■ storing frozen food
■ making ice cubes
■ freezing food
The temperature can be set to anywhere between
+5°F and –8°F (–15°C and –22°C).
The freezer compartment can be used to store
perishable foods long-term almost without any
noticeable reduction in quality, as the low
temperatures considerably slow down or stop
deterioration. Appearance, flavor and all valuable
ingredients are largely retained.
Long-term storage of food should be at 0°F (–18°C)
or lower.
The time between putting fresh food in the freezer
compartment and it freezing solid depends on the
following factors:
■ temperature that has been set
■ type of food
■ amount of food in the freezer compartment
■ quantity and type of storage
18
Freezer compartment en-us
Fully utilizing the freezer volume
To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the
freezer compartment:
■ Remove all fittings.
■ Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor
of the freezer compartment.
Purchasing frozen food
■ Ensure the packaging is not damaged.
■ Check there is a sell-by date.
■ The temperature in the supermarket freezer must
be 0 °F (-18 °C) or lower.
■ Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible,
transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in
the freezer compartment quickly.
When loading products
■ Freeze large quantities of food in the top
compartment.
This is where it will freeze especially quickly and
gently.
■ Distribute food in the compartments or frozen
food containers.
■ Do not bring food which is to be frozen into
contact with frozen food.
If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food
containers.

■ Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add
sugar or ascorbic acid solution.
Information on how to do this can be found in
relevant literature.
Suitable for freezing
■ Baked goods
■ Fish and seafood
■ Meat
■ Poultry and game
■ Vegetables, fruit and herbs
■ Eggs without shells
■ Dairy products, e.g. cheese, butter and quark
