10.7 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 installed).
¡ 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.
Refrigerator compartment
11 Refrigerator compart-
ment
Refrigerator compartment
You can keep dairy products, eggs,
prepared meals, pastries, open preserves and hard cheese in the refrigerator compartment.
The temperature can be set from
3°C to 8°C.
The refrigerator compartment can
also be used to store highly perishable foods in the short to medium
term. The lower the selected temperature, the longer the food remains
fresh.
11.1 Tips for storing food in
the refrigerator compartment
¡ Only store food when fresh and
undamaged.
¡ Observe the best-before date or
use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
¡ Store food well wrapped or
covered.
22
Cool-fresh compartment en
¡ Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down first before placing in the appliance.
11.2 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 door rack for large bottles.
Tip:Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the cool-fresh compartment.
→"Cool-fresh compartment",
Page23
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.
Cool-fresh compartment
12 Cool-fresh compart-
ment
Cool-fresh compartment
In the cool-fresh compartment, you
can keep fresh food fresh three times
longer than in the refrigerator compartment.
The temperature in the cool-fresh
compartment is kept at around 0°C.
Storing food in the fresh compartment retains the quality of the food
better. The low temperature and the
optimum moisture provide ideal storage conditions for fresh food.
12.1 Storage times in the
cool-fresh compartment

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 longterm. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.

en Freezer compartment
13.1 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 /5, Page13
Prerequisites for freezing capacity
1. Approx. 24 hours before placing
fresh food in the appliance, switch
on Fast freezing.
→"Switching on manual Fast freez-
ing", Page17
2. If the appliance has a flat frozen
food container, fill this with food
first. For appliances without a flat
frozen food container, fill the lowest frozen food container with food
first. This is where the food freezes
most quickly.
3. Freeze fresh food as close as pos-
sible to the side panels.

amount of frozen food in the freezer
compartment.

2. Store food directly on the shelves
and on the floor of the freezer
compartment.
13.3 Tips for storing food in
the freezer compartment
¡ To quickly and gently freeze larger
quantities of fresh food, place this
in the top frozen food container.
¡ Place the food over the whole area
of the compartments or the frozen
food containers.
¡ Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen
food.
¡ To ensure that the air can circulate
freely in the appliance, push the
frozen food containers in as far as
they will go.
13.4 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 seafood, 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 material and the correct type of packaging, 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.
