Software update
Using the software update function, your hood's softwa-
re 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 infor-
med 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.

About Data Protection
When your appliance is connected for the first 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 identification (consisting of appliance
codes as well as the MAC address of the installed Wi-Fi
communication module).
•
Security certificate 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 first 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.
