Home Connect en-us
The first time your Home Connect appliance is registered on a WLAN home network connected to the Internet (WiFi), 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 Wi-Fi 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.

en-us Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for:
storing frozen food
making ice cubes
freezing food
The temperature can be set from -11 °F (-24 °C)... +7 °F (-14 °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.
The time between putting fresh food in the freezer compartment and it freezing solid depends on the following factors:
temperature set
type of food
amount of food in the freezer compartment
quantity and type of storage
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.
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.
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.
Important for unrestricted air circulation in the appliance:
push in frozen food containers up to the limit stop.
Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.
Food which is boiled, fried or baked is more suitable for freezing than food which is eaten raw.
Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate to the food in order to retain the best possible nutritional value, flavor and color:
Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
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.
Baked goods
Fish and seafood
Meat
Poultry and game
Vegetables, fruit and herbs
Eggs without shells
Dairy products, e.g. cheese, butter and quark
Ready meals and leftovers, e.g. soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts
24
Types of vegetables which are usually eaten raw, e.g. lettuce or radishes
Unpeeled or hard-boiled eggs
Grapes
Whole apples, pears and peaches
Yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, creme fraiche and mayonnaise
The correct type of packaging and material selection are decisive factors in the retention of the product quality and prevent the development of freezer burn.
Suitable packaging:
Plastic foil
Tubular foil made of polyethylene (PE)
Aluminum foil
Freezer containers
Suitable closures:
Rubber bands
Plastic clips
Cold-resistant adhesive tape
Unsuitable packaging:
Wrapping paper
Greaseproof paper
Cellophane
Garbage bags and used grocery bags
Fish, sausage, ready meals, |
up to 6 months |
and cakes and pastries: |
|
|
|
Meat, poultry: |
up to 8 months |
|
|
Vegetables, fruit: |
up to 12 months |
Defrosting en-us
The thawing method must be adjusted to the food and application in order to retain the best possible product quality.
Thawing methods:
in the refrigerator compartment (especially suitable for animal-based foods such as fish, meat, cheese, quark)
at room temperature (bread)
in the microwave (food for immediate consumption or immediate preparation)
in the oven/cooker (food for immediate consumption or immediate preparation)
Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed food. You can only refreeze food once it has been cooked (boiled or fried).
The frozen food can no longer be stored for the maximum duration.
The fully automatic NoFrost system ensures that the freezer compartment remains free of ice. Defrosting is no longer required.
