In this case, the refrigerator and / or freezer device can be designed to receive commands for configuring or controlling the actuator via the interface and preferably also to transmit derived information. The configuration can thus be carried out using the external device. For example, it can also be provided in this context that the refrigerator and / or freezer is designed to handle the voice dialog on the external device or to receive and, if necessary, process voice commands on the external device.
In einer Ausführungsform weist das Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät einen Sensor zur Erkennung der Stellung des Verschlusselements auf. Beispielsweise kann es sich um einen Sensor zur Erkennung eines Öffnungswinkels einer Schwenktür handeln. Derartige Sensoren können im Bereich des Schwenklagers der Tür angeordnet sein. Der Sensor steht in Signalverbindung mit der Steuereinheit.In one embodiment, the refrigerator and / or freezer has a sensor for detecting the position of the closure element. For example, it can be a sensor for detecting an opening angle of a pivoting door. Such sensors can be arranged in the area of the pivot bearing of the door. The sensor is in signal connection with the control unit.

Die Stellung des Verschlusselements, beispielsweise der Öffnungswinkel der Tür kann anhand eines geeigneten Sensors, wie oben näher beschrieben, erkannt werden. Die genannten Schritte a) und b) beschreiben ein Verfahren zur Konfigurierung des Kühl- und/oder Gefriergeräts dahingehend, dass eine gewünschte Öffnungsstellung des Verschlusselements vom Benutzer festgelegt wird. Die Stellung des Verschlusselements, die in Schritt a) erkannt werden soll, kann vom Benutzer manuell eingestellt werden. Sie kann einer maximalen Öffnungsstellung des Verschlusselements bei einer bestimmten Aufstellsituation des Geräts entsprechen.In particular, a routine can be stored on the control unit which is designed to carry out a method with the following steps: a) recognition of a position of the at least one closure element; and b) storing the recognized position in response to a user command, in particular a voice command. The position of the closure element, for example the opening angle of the door, can be detected using a suitable sensor, as described in more detail above. The cited steps a) and b) describe a method for configuring the refrigerator and / or freezer in such a way that a desired opening position of the closure element is determined by the user. The position of the closure element that is to be recognized in step a) can be set manually by the user. It can correspond to a maximum open position of the closure element in a specific installation situation of the device.
Des Weiteren kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Steuereinheit ferner ausgebildet ist, den Aktor in Reaktion auf einen Benutzerbefehl, insbesondere einen Sprachbefehl, so anzusteuern, dass das wenigstens eine Verschlusselement automatisch von der geschlossenen in die geöffnete und/oder von der geöffneten in die geschlossene Stellung bewegt werden kann. Die geöffnete Stellung des Verschlusselements kann beispielsweise zu einem bestimmten Öffnungswinkel einer Schwenktür korrespondieren.

Insbesondere kann auf der Steuereinheit eine Routine hinterlegt sein, die ausgebildet ist, um ferner ein Verfahren gemäß dem folgenden Schritt auszuführen: c) Ansteuerung des Aktors in Reaktion auf einen weiteren Benutzerbefehl, insbesondere einen Sprachbefehl, um das Verschlusselement automatisch von der geschlossenen in die geöffnete oder von der geöffneten in die geschlossene Stellung zu bewegen. Der Schritt c) beschreibt einen grundsätzlich beliebig oft wiederholbaren Vorgang, in dem das Verschlusselement in Reaktion auf einen Benutzerbefehl zwischen seiner geschlossenen und der anhand von Schritten a) und b) festgelegten geöffneten Stellung hin und her bewegt wird. Der Benutzerbefehl kann mechanisch sein und beispielsweise in einem Anziehen eines Türgriffes oder einer Druckausübung auf das Verschlusselement liegen. Er kann aber auch aus einer Benutzereingabe, insbesondere einem Sprachbefehl an einem Benutzerinterface des Kühl- und/oder Gefriergeräts oder an einem externen Gerät resultieren.In particular, a routine can be stored on the control unit which is designed to also carry out a method according to the following step: c) Activation of the actuator in response to a further user command, in particular a voice command, to automatically move the closure element from the closed to the open one or to move from the open to the closed position. Step c) describes a process that can in principle be repeated as often as desired, in which the closure element is moved back and forth between its closed position and the open position determined by means of steps a) and b) in response to a user command. The user command can be mechanical and consist, for example, of pulling a door handle or exerting pressure on the locking element.
