Connecting appliances directly
If the appliance is connected directly to a hood, it cannot
be connected to your home network as well. The
appliance functions in the same way as a cooktop with
no network connection. The cooktop can always be
operated via the control panel.
Connecting appliances via your home network
If the appliances are connected to each other via your
home network, both the hood controls and Home
Connect can be used to operate the cooktop.
Notes
▯ Make sure you follow the safety instructions in the
instruction manual for your hood and that these are
complied with even when operating the appliance via
the hood controls on the cooktop.
▯ If the appliance is being operated by means of the
controls on the hood, this mode of operation always
has priority. It is not possible to use the hood controls
on the cooktop during this time.
▯ In networked standby mode, your appliance requires a
maximum of 2 W.

hood, the cooktop must be switched on.
