Setting up Home Connect™
With Home Connect™, the appliance is Wi-Fi capable and
can be remotely controlled using a mobile device (e.g.
tablet or smartphone). The Home Connect app offers
additional functions which are a perfect complement to
the networked appliance.
Home Connect does not work over Wi-Fi networks that
require browser registration, i.e. a user name and
password entered via a web browser.
You should have a stable wireless network with good
reception and access to the internet.
If the appliance is not connected to the WLAN network
(home network), it functions in the same way as a typical
appliance with no network connection and can be
operated as usual.
NOTE: Please ensure that you follow the safety
instructions given at the beginning of this instruction
manual and that these are also observed when operating
the appliance via the Home Connect app and when away
from home. Please also follow the instructions in the
Home Connect app.
NOTE: Operation on the appliance itself always takes
priority, and during this time it is not possible to operate
the appliance using the Home Connect app.
Setup
To implement settings via Home Connect you must have
installed the Home Connect app on a mobile device (e.g.
tablet or smartphone). Please observe the supplied Home
Connect documents that came with your appliance with
regard to this feature.
Follow the steps specified by the app to implement the
settings.
