Software update
Using the software update function, your hood's software can be
updated (e.g. for the purpose of optimization, troubleshooting or
security updates). To do this, you need to be a registered Home
Connect™ 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 through
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
installing it via the Home Connect™ app if you are on your local area
network.
The Home Connect™ app will inform you once installation is complete.
NOTES
•
You can continue to use your hood 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.
Resetting the connection
You can reset the connections you have saved on your home network
and on Home Connect™ at any time.
•
Press and hold the 0 and CONNECT buttons at the same time until
the CONNECT symbol is no longer illuminated.
About Data Protection
When your appliance is connected for the fi rst time to a WLAN
network, which is connected to the Internet, your appliance transmits
the following categories of data to the Home Connect™ server (initial
registration):
•
Unique appliance identifi cation (consisting of appliance codes as well
as the MAC address of the installed Wi-Fi communication module).
•
Security certifi cate of the Wi-Fi communication module (to ensure a
secure IT connection).
•
The current software and hardware version of your domestic
appliance.
•
Status of any previous resetting to factory settings.
This initial registration prepares the Home Connect™ functions for use
and is only required when you want to use these Home Connect™
functions for the fi rst time.
NOTE: Ensure that the Home Connect™ functions can be used only
in conjunction with the Home Connect™ app. Information on data
protection can be accessed in the Home Connect™ app.
