This initial registration prepares the Home Connect functions for use and is only required when you want to use the Home Connect functions for the first time.

Note: Please note that the Home Connect functions can only be utilised with the Home Connect app. Information on data protection can be retrieved in the Home Connect app.

11 Refrigerator compartment

You can keep meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, prepared meals and pastries in the refrigerator compartment.

The temperature can be set from 2\ °C to 6\ °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. ■ 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 appliance. - Observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.

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 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.

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 compartment temperature", Page 37

Once the appliance is switched on, it may take up to 12 hours until the set temperature is reached.

Correct setting

12 Floor area

You can store the same type of food in the floor area as you can in the refrigerator compartment.

The temperature in the floor area matches the temperature in the rest of the refrigerator compartment.

12.1 Storing food in the floor area

To store food in the floor area, slide the cover backwards over the floor area.

13 Defrosting

13.1 Defrosting in the refrigerator compartment

When the appliance is operating, condensation droplets or frost form on the rear panel of the refrigerator compartment due to functional reasons. The back panel in the refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically.

Condensation runs through the condensation 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, observe the following information:

Cleaning the condensation channel and drainage hole → Page 42.

14 Cleaning and servicing
