Why isn't my Home Connect appliance showing up during pairing?
Ensure your mobile device is on the same Wi-Fi network that you are connecting your Home Connect appliance to. In the case of a hood and hob make sure they are both paired to your Home Connect account. If your router has a separated dual band network, ensure the names for the two networks are different. If you use Wi-Fi extenders make sure the extender has a different name to the router and that you are pairing to the extender.
Why won't my Home Connect appliance connect to my Wi-Fi after I connect to it on the Home Connect app?

What steps do I need to follow when pairing my Home Connect appliance?
Ensure you follow the Home Connect installation guide that came with your appliance. Each appliance requires different steps. These steps can also be found in the Home Connect app whilst pairing.
Why won't the Home Connect app connect to my Wi-Fi?
Some devices will search for a connection that has Internet; during the paring process your device will connect with the appliance‘s Wi-Fi network to transfer credentials. Since the appliance does not have an internet connection the mobile device will switch to another network that does, interrupting the pairing process. To prevent this from happening turn on Airplane/Flight mode, then go to your Wi-Fi settings and turn Wi-Fi back on, make sure you are connected to your router Wi-Fi network.
Why does the Home Connect pairing process keep failing after it connects to my Wi-Fi?
Check whether you can get online with another device in your home. Make sure you are not using mobile data to test your Internet connection. Ensure there is a strong network connection where the appliance is installed.
Why isn't my Wi-Fi network showing up in the Home Connect app?
Unplug your routers (and range extenders/Wi-Fi repeaters) ensuring all lights are off. Keep unplugged for 30 seconds and then plug your routers back in. Wait until the router completely restarts and check the connection with another mobile device. Check your router‘s user manual for more information.
The Home Connect app still isn't working, what can I do?
Uninstall the Home Connect app, then download and re-install the latest version of the Home Connect app. After doing so, restart your mobile device and begin the pairing process again.
My Home Connect appliance still won't pair, what can I do?
You should factory reset your Home Connect appliance. In your use and care manual you will find instructions for resetting your appliance.
Are there minimum requirements for my Wi-Fi router?
The Home Connect system works with all standard Wi-Fi routers available on the market provided they are no more than five years old (estimated). For security reasons, Wi-Fi networks must be encrypted (WPA or WPA2 encryption). If your Wi-Fi network is not encrypted, you will not be able to register your appliance.
