SN 10 °C to 32 °C
N 16 °C to 32 °C
ST 16 °C to 38 °C
T 16 °C to 43 °C

The appliance is fully functional within the permitted room temperature. If an appliance with climate class SN is operated at colder room temperatures, the appliance will not be damaged up to a room temperature of 5^ C.

Over-and-under and side-by-side installation

If you want to install 2 refrigerating appliances one over the other or side by side, you must maintain a clearance of at least 150 mm between the appliances. Selected appliances can be installed without a minimum clearance. Ask your dealer or kitchen planner about this.

4.3 Installing the appliance

6.4 Storage container

The temperatures in the storage container are lower than in the refrigerator compartment. Temperatures below 0 °C may occur occasionally. In order to reach temperatures close to 0 °C in the storage container, set the refrigerator compartment temperature to 2 °C. → Page 52

Use the lower temperatures in the storage container to store highly perishable food, e.g. fish, meat and sausages.

6.5 Fruit and vegetable container with humidity control

Store fresh fruit and vegetables loose in the fruit and vegetable container. Cover any chopped fruit and vegetables, or store in air-tight packaging. You can adjust the humidity in the fruit and vegetable container using the humidity controller and a special

seal. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored for up to twice as long as with conventional storage.

→ Fig. 5

The air humidity in the fruit and vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount of food to be stored by pressing the humidity controller:

■ Low humidity required when primarily storing fruit or mixed items, or if the appliance is very full.
■ High humidity required when primarily storing vegetables or when the appliance is not very full.

Condensation may form in the fruit and vegetable container depending on the food and quantity stored.

Remove the condensation with a dry cloth and adjust the air humidity to a lower setting using the humidity controller.

To ensure that the quality and aroma are retained, store fruit and vegetables that are sensitive to cold outside of the appliance at temperatures of approx. 8 °C to 12 °C, e.g. pineapple, bananas, citrus fruits, cucumbers, courgettes, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes.

  √ The Home Connect settings have been reset.

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 Home Connect 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 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 ^ to 8 ^ .

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 in front of the inner ventilation openings or in 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.

12 Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food, freeze food and make ice cubes in the freezer compartment.

The temperature can be set from -16 ^ to -24 ^ .

Long-term storage of food should be at -18 ^ 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.

→ Fig. 1/6

Prerequisites for freezing capacity

1. Approx. 24 hours before placing fresh food in the appliance, switch on Super freezing.

→ "Switching on Super freezing", Page 53

1. Place food in the bottom frozen food container first.

12.2 Fully utilising the freezer compartment volume

Learn how to store the maximum amount of frozen food in the freezer compartment.

1. Remove all fittings from the freezer compartment. → Page 59

2. Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor of the freezer compartment.

12.3 Tips for storing food in the freezer compartment

■ Store food in air-tight packaging.
■ Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact with frozen food.
■ Place the food over the whole area of the frozen 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 includes baked items, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, eggs without shells, cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers.

en Defrosting

- 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 contents and the date of freezing.

12.5 Shelf life of frozen food at -18 °C

Food Storage time
Fish, sausages, pre-pared meals and baked goods	up to 6 months
Poultry, meat up to	8 months
Vegetables, fruit up to	12 months

The imprinted freezer calendar indicates the maximum storage duration in months at a constant temperature of -18 ^ .

12.6 Defrosting methods for frozen food

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 defrost.
  ▶ 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 temperature.
  ■ Prepare food for immediate consumption in the microwave, in the oven, or on the hob.

13 Defrosting
