7.1 Setting up HomeConnect
Requirements
¡ The appliance is connected to the power supply and
is switched on.
¡ You have a mobile device with a current version of
the iOS or Android operating system, e.g. a smart-
phone.
¡ The mobile device and the appliance are within
range of your home network's Wi-Fi signal.

2.
Open the HomeConnect app and scan the follow-
ing QR code.
3.
Follow the instructions in the HomeConnect app.
7.2 Resetting the connection
▶
To reset the saved connections to the WiFi and to
HomeConnect, press and hold ⁠ and ⁠ at the
same time until ⁠ goes out.
7.3 Software update
Your appliance's software can be updated using the
software update function, e.g. for the purposes of op-
timisation, troubleshooting or security updates.
To do this, you must be a registered HomeCon-
nectuser, have installed the app on your mobile device
and be connected to the HomeConnectserver.
As soon as a software update is available, you will be
informed via the HomeConnectapp and will be able to
start the software update via the app. Once the update
has been successfully downloaded, you can start in-
stalling it via the HomeConnectapp if you are in your
WLAN home network (Wi-Fi). The HomeConnectapp
will inform you once installation is successful.
Notes
¡ You can continue to use your appliance as normal
while updates are downloading. Depending on your
personal settings in the app, software updates can
also be set to download automatically.
¡ We recommend that you install security updates as
soon as possible.
¡ Installation takes a few minutes. You cannot use
your appliance during installation.
7.4 Remote diagnostics
Customer Service can use Remote Diagnostics to ac-
cess your appliance if you contact them, have your ap-
pliance connected to the HomeConnect server and if
Remote Diagnostics is available in the country in which
you are using the appliance.
Tip:For further information and details about the avail-
ability of Remote Diagnostics in your country, please
visit the service/support section of your local website:
www.home-connect.com
7.5 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 appli-
ance codes as well as the MAC address of the Wi-Fi
communication module installed).
¡ Security certificate of the Wi-Fi communication mod-
ule (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. In-
formation on data protection can be retrieved in the
HomeConnect app.
8 Hob-based hood control
You can connect your appliance to a suitable hob and,
in this way, control the functions of your appliance via
the hob.
If both appliances are HomeConnect-compatible, con-
nect the appliances in the HomeConnectapp. To do
this, connect the two appliances to HomeConnect and
follow the instructions in the app.
Notes
¡ Regular security updates are provided for your ap-
pliance. If you have connected your extractor hood
directly to a hob , both of these appliances cannot
receive these security updates. To ensure the safe
use of the appliance, we recommend connecting
both appliances to each other via HomeConnect
and installing these updates as soon as they are
provided. A HomeConnect account (which is free of
charge) is required for this.
